🚨 CNBC on latest jobs numbers: "A big miss on the ADP payrolls. The private payroll company saying private payrolls shed 32,000 workers in November. That's the fourth negative number in the past six months. The estimate was for plus 40,000, so the street was off on this one ... small business getting hammered and there is some information that some of this may be coming from being hammered by the tariffs."

NEW: Mark Hertling warns that the gravest threat to the U.S. military is the erosion of the values that keep our forces lawful and legitimate.

Remember the 22-year-old #MAGA loyalist — no counterterrorism experience, no law-enforcement background, literally unqualified — Trump put in charge of DHS “terrorism prevention”? Yeah… America’s security just got a downgrade. 💀🚨

Soooo... not "antifa" then.

New in PN: Bill Pulte and Ed Martin's shitposting legal strategy backfires spectacularly

"There's no universe in which this DOJ prosecutes Trump administration officials. But if these 4chan escapees wind up boning Trump's political persecutions, it will be some minute measure of justice." https://www.publicnotice.co/p/bill-pulte-ed-martin-investigation

It hasn't been a great year for jobs.

Marist finds Democrats up 55/41 on the generic ballot: https://maristpoll.marist.edu/polls/a-look-to-the-2026-midterms-november-2025/

That may be a factor of an enthusiasm gap mixed with a serving of outlier, but also it’s not a shocker in light of the sheer extent of Democrats’ sweeping wins in November.

Georgia’s statewide races went Dem by 24%.

Dems flipped Erie County, PA, by 25%. They flipped offices in Bucks County by double-digits.

Donald Trump has now officially passed Obama's eight-year total of rounds of golf — in less than five years. I've added a chart to my tracker of Trump's golf/property visits to show just how far past Obama he's getting.
