249 The Sydney Sweeney interview with the vile GQ interviewer: https://youtu.be/3TwhvC_iPCc Posted by: m at November 07, 2025 03:55 AM (RuTUS) 250 Sydney Sweeney on Life at the Center of the Conversation GQ sits in on a tête-à-tête between Men of the Year cover star Sydney Sweeney and GQ features director Katherine Stoeffel at the Chateau Marmont. Sweeney opens up about her year in the spotlight: from her thoughts on the American Eagle ad and the backlash it received, to her dramatic body transformation and the public perception that comes with that.

from the ONT, context for tcn's cited comment:
248 Why do we take up smoking? Because, in college, it was cheaper than buying food and meant a remained skinny and attractive. $0.79 a pack, and no need for breakfast or lunch. Of course, when I had the boy, no more smoking. Food again reared its ugly head. To the detriment of my waistline. So be it. So, smoking or diabetes. For those of us with an oral fixation, it's one or the other. Until they solve that problem, we will die of one or the other.

After more than 200 years, the 2026 edition of the Farmers' Almanac will be the last.
Might have something to do with how the smaller family farms started disappearing in favour of the large-scale corporation-run farming operations. Those small-scale farmers were the Almanac's main customers. I used to buy my grandfather a Farmer's Almanac for Christmas every year when I was a child, and he loved reading through it and referring to it. I think I'll buy one of the 2026 copies as a keepsake.

I've seen the Farmer's Almanac at the grocery pretty much all my life. I'll grab a copy of the '26 before they're gone. The article didn't say why they were shutting down. Low sales, I guess, and people getting all their "advice" from web sites? Whether you like Latin music or not, I think you have to admire the sheer musical talent Gloria and her band display in this video. Horns, guitar, bongos, and Gloria's own rapid-fire handling of the lyrics in a super-fast-paced tune are all spectacular.

![]() Finland is doubling down on evidence from four years ago that definitively shows how children can avoid diseases and allergies throughout their lives if they’re permitted to get down and dirty in daycare. Dozens of comparative studies have previously found that children who live in rural areas and are in contact with nature have a lower probability of catching an illness resulting from disorders in the immune system—and a lower risk of developing coeliac disease, allergies, atopy, and even diabetes. A 2021 study conducted at a Finnish daycare and published in Science Advances showed that repeated contact with nature-like elements five times a week diversified the body’s microbes which offered protection against diseases transmitted through the immune system in daycare children. *** Each human individual is actually an environment in themselves: a host of trillions of microorganisms, including bacteria, viruses, and fungi. These collectively outnumber our own cells 4-1, and are emerging as one of the most influential forces—if not truly the single most—in human health and function.Check out the whole thing. ----- Doggos are good for kids too. I could watch this all day!
![]() It’s not everyday that Henry the polar bear sees something that weighs more than he does. At 1,200-pounds, the polar bear is the world’s largest land predator, but here was something substantially heavier, and it was just sitting there in his enclosure. Defensive at first, Henry eventually dug into the sweet crunchy flesh of a giant, 1,400 lbs. pumpkin that was donated to the nonprofit that looks after him. The photos will steal a chuckle out of anyone.More photos at the link Valdir Segato, a Brazilian bodybuilder known for using synthol injections to enlarge his muscles, died on his 55th birthday. Segato had been injecting himself with synthol injections for years to increase the size of his biceps, chest, and back. This practice is risky and can lead to serious health issues such as strokes, infections, and even permanent muscle damage. *** Doctors had warned him as early as six years ago that continued use of synthol injections could lead to severe nerve damage, muscle deformities, or even limb amputation. Nevertheless, he pushed forward with his extreme bodybuilding goals, growing his biceps to 23 inches and earning the nickname “the monster” in his neighborhood. *** On the morning of his death, a neighbor named Moisés da Conceição da Silva said Segato appeared at their home struggling to breathe and begged for help, saying, “Help me because I’m dying.” He was taken to a local medical facility, but collapsed at the front desk, reportedly suffering a heart attack.Dude shoulda just called these guys (tracks played on SiriusXM channel "The Bridge" this evening) ![]() Posted with the full faith and confidence of a loosely connected affiliate of the Ace Media Empire.

The Portuguese Navy has intercepted one of those home-made semi subs loaded with 1.7 metric tons of cocaine on board about 1800 Km out of Lisbon in the Atlantic ocean. The crew of 4, nationals from Venezuela, Colombia and Peru were taken off the boat to be interred at the Azores; the boat was not recoverable due to high seas, and its poor seaworthiness. The film of the interior showed water sloshing around, a powerful motor, and the rest of the gear pretty much zip-tied into position on the interior hull.

>>How about sharing yer booty? It seems to be a requirement.
When I was diving in the Carib there was a group of treasure hunters hiring divers. The island are littered with old wrecks from the golden age and at least back then it was a bit of a wild west chase for treasure. You had to share with the country having jurisdiction but in theory there is a lot of gold down there. Chances of finding anything was pretty remote but that was the hook, a cut of the treasure. I stayed with the resort area and the free drinks. Posted by: JackStraw at November 06, 2025 10:39 PM (viF8m) 93

Mamdami is so tone deaf. I love it. The day after he asks the working poors to shell out their money for his transition campaign, and he snubs Hasan Piker by not letting him into his victory afterparty... One of his first major events after winning the mayoral election is going to be whisking away to a posh hotel in Puerto Rico. The Caribe Hilton, where the Pina Colada might have been invented. The optics! It is to laugh. Maybe his voters will have buyers remorse even before he gets sworn in, if he keeps it up. "The annual SOMOS conference acts as a policy summit for New York officials and others in the state's political sphere. Both Republicans and Democrats have been known to attend. This year, the event is taking place at the El Caribe Hilton in San Juan.The hotel's website bills it as an "iconic beachfront paradise" with "17 acres of tropical landscaping, nine restaurants, island-inspired rooms, spa, and oceanfront pool complex, all right on the beach."

@zarazhangrui A Harvard student told me something I can't stop thinking about. When they go to the library, every single screen has ChatGPT open. Homework that used to take hours now takes minutes. But then they talk to alums who say entry-level roles are basically gone. The jobs they planned their entire college trajectory around don't exist anymore.

Well, got the wiring sorted out on the Avanti. Shift quadrant lamp and illumination LED's for the heater controls in the console are now wired to "accessories", as are the reverse lamps. Left side reverse lamp works, right one doesn't, but the wring is all in the trunk lid, so super easy to get at.
I made a good start on patching over the window I cut in the transmission tunnel to clear the servo housing on the transmission case. Cut a rectangle of 1/4" hardware cloth, and fastened it over the hole with a handful of tiny sheet metal screws. Pulled and prodded at the hardware cloth (which is wire mesh) with needle-nose pliers until it had the shape I wanted, and then plastered it with kitty-hair fiberglass filler.

Posted by: Alberta Oil Peon at November 07, 2025 12:48 AM (npFr7) Coinage was hard to find in the Colonies since the Brits wanted coins for payment, and the Colonies were technically forbidden from printing their own notes - and the Crown didn't want to deal in them anyways. Coin shortage was one of many complaints the colonies had. The revolution was financed by credit and by paper currency printed under the Congress. The Spanish Dollar was taken on as the model for the Silver Dollar, by weight and purity after the Congress decided hard money was better than inflationary paper. It was the most common silver coin in circulation. Posted by: Kindltot at November 07, 2025 01:07 AM (rbvCR) 226

Don't understand why people take up smoking. Antebellum it was a rumor pushed by people like suffragettes and then the govt, that we all know lies.
But today we know for a fact that it's a killer two or three ways. My uncle, a cigar smoker, had an operation on his back but they went in through the front. Later the surgeon talking to him said, 'your veins and arteries are like glass'. That's one thing smoking does. I don't understand.

I think this winter will be party after party. Thanksgiving is so far 10 people, probably more once it commences. New Years will be a fondue party with fireworks, I think, with anybody who shows up with libations. January will be a taco night, I suspect, with all the trimmings including pineapple jalapeño margaritas, February is still in the planning stage, and March will be pizzas and paper airplanes, because it will be close to full days of light. No ideas beyond that, but I'm sure I will get some.

Posted by: Braenyard The reasons are probably as varied as the people who take it up. I know one man who took up cigars because his wife liked the smell of them. It can be a social thing - something to do with your hands in company that doesn't involve eating, but is less frenetic (and better smelling) than cigarettes, and doesn't require thought the way a game of cards does. Or maybe you like getting a buzz, but don't want a buzz with lingering after-effects like alcohol gives you. Posted by: FeatherBlade at November 07, 2025 02:08 AM (R4610) 243

Why do we take up smoking? Because, in college, it was cheaper than buying food and meant a remained skinny and attractive. $0.79 a pack, and no need for breakfast or lunch.
Of course, when I had the boy, no more smoking. Food again reared its ugly head. To the detriment of my waistline. So be it. So, smoking or diabetes. For those of us with an oral fixation, it's one or the other. Until they solve that problem, we will die of one or the other. Not sure which is worse, but I'd rather die of a heart attack than suffocate to death. So, there's that.

Looking to me like the Demoralization Campaign is back on.
Even with Trump in the WH, a time we should be celebrating and looking ahead to brighter days, that's how they intend to fracture the Right and continue the long march. And you can bet the GOP is in on it, as are apparently some well known rightard grimfluencers.

I'd say do your level best to be joyful and count blessings because nothing would piss off the Left more than us being happy, but I get it if that's not gonna work right now.
I agree. A similar sentiment is one, written by Auberon Waugh, that I adopted as my own motto long ago: "There are countless horrible things happening all over the world and horrible people prospering, but we must never allow them to disturb our equanimity or deflect us from our sacred duty to sabotage and annoy them whenever possible". It also helps to remember that we "are pilgrims in a strange land". Posted by: Paco at November 06, 2025 07:51 PM (mADJX) 76

I gave and likely reposted a long explanation at the time. When he gave his weird denial and apparently insulted some of his own base by referring to it as a hoax and them crazy. The Left was running a slow insidious drip to fracture the right and Epstein was the cherry on the shit sandwich. Instead of letting the Left control the direction and flow of the op, Trump blasted his own predetermined fault line into his own base, which they reckoned he was too vain to ever do. Thus sapping all energy from the divide operation. The clue was how bombastic he was - Trump knows how to defuse and how to amplify. It didn't make sense to me that he had amplified to 1000 during that speech when it seemingly would have served him better to quietly defuse.

It's been a month and a day since a lady hit my car, totaling it, and I still haven't bought one, and not for lack of funds. My neighbor bought a newer car and kept his old one as a spare. Told me to use it whenever. He came by about a week ago, and I apologized for still using it. He said don't, he was grateful as it's getting exercise. And then he said take my good sweet time because he said it will probably be my last car (had the last one for thirteen years and that was the plan with it). Good advice, good neighbor. I've only used his Civic five or six times but I think I'll hit the drive through oil change and top off the tank tomorrow.

155 I'm Pro-Accordion, and I Vote!
Posted by: San Franpsycho at November 06, 2025 08:27 PM (A0sqA) The first house we bought when the boys were babies was near a marina, with a creek that went to the Intercoastal Waterway. There were manatees and a pier for fishing. We'd go there often after dinner. Also a paviollion for weddings. We rode bikes there on crushed shell type roads (vs gravel) with the boys on the back of our bikes. My husband was teaching them how to get a crab off a hook and instead the crab cut his hand and there was a lot of blood (sort of a Bernstein's Bear what not to do lesson for our sons). It is all on video, with polka accordian music in the background from the Polish or something wedding in the pavillion. It makes me laugh to see it and our son's stunned faces at the blood. I guess I stopped filming and did first aid so he could ride his bike home. The polka music gives it a weird vibe. This should bring on the ONT! Willowing!

The nation's largest trucking company says it will no longer service New York City after Mamdani takes office:
"We've instructed our dispatchers to reject loads to any of the Five Burroughs," said Company Spokesman Joe Barron, "We don't see a way to continue doing business in the Big Apple.." The news comes as Mamdani released his plan to increase revenue across the city by quadrupling the cost of tolls, licensing, permits, and inspections of all commercial vehicles.

I learned that on a Highland's tour with our son and DIL before the grands. A ton of fun and I stayed very warm with the samples. In the Intermountain West, where I live again after my college and early marriage, it NEVER gets as cold as the South with the humidity. Two feet of snow in our yard and I am fine. I used to fly home winters in college and hug the fireplace and take hot baths (to annoy my father who kept track of bills and stuff). Rainy cold is bone cold. He'd argue that the mountains were colder with snow and they were not! No one won those arguments and I took as many hot baths as I felt like so he would not miss me when I was gone. He probably did miss me but not the expense I brought with me. I drove him nuts, but being a Marine he did not let me know very often. I also look like him, so that helped.

Harley/motorcycle tires aren't cheap either. $200-300 each for something really nice, maybe $150 for something decent. The wider they go the crazier it gets. I did one of those silly fat rear tires, a 280 I think. $475 just for the tire. Posted by: Berserker-Dragonheads Division I used to think I wanted a Paul Yaffe frame, with a 118ci, 5 speed, and belt drive 300 rear. Glad I never pulled that trigger.

I had a car that came with run flats. Lasted 20k miles and the ride was shit after 10k. When I swapped them out I got regular tires. Problem was no spare. But I risked it and figured worst case scenario, I get a flat, I have the car towed to a tire shop. Never happened luckily.

Our first trip to Edinburgh I got a wicked sinus deal that got worse on the plane. I was deaf on arrival and looked so ghastly the hotel let us check in early. Saw a private doc the next day and the usual Z-pack. We were told NOT to go to the ED, I guess unless bleeding to death.
We went to St. Giles for a service, seeing as we were all conservative Presbyterians with a direct line to the church of Scotland. Arrived a bit late for the service that was packed because they were voting on the damn gheys or something that followed us from FL. Had to sit in a pew right under the pulpit, facing the congregation. I sound like I have TB or a cough cannon and am not dainty with bronchitis, sadly. The tickle throat thing started and I was consumtive in the cathedral. The acoustics were totally awesome (this was pre covid or I would have cleared the place). I was digging in my large travel bag behind our son for a cough drop, trying not to LOL, and my husband thought I was harfing in my bag. Which made me more insane with choking laughter. I get noticed one way or the other in crowds, sadly. Our son probably wanted to pretend he did not know me. Posted by: ChristyBlinkyTheGreat at November 06, 2025 09:42 PM (MAl//) 379

tires are expensive now in part since they are so much bigger than they were, an 80s ferrari or porsche had 14, 15, 16 inch tires, everything has 20s now
Posted by: n at November 06, 2025 09:20 PM (iKHoA) But the sidewalls are only 2 inches tall. Had a flat tire on the #3 Suburban this evening. Got a ride home, picked up my portable air compressor, and tried to inflate it. Would not take air, must have been a bad cut in the tire, for it to flat as quick as it did. Go the change it out...no jack, no lug wrench. Bad Peon, should have checked. The regular driver has 'em! So I drove 3 miles home on the flat. About the half way point the flat tire shed its tread completely, and it rolled better after that. I have a full set of good 16" truck tires to hang on it. Guess what I get to do tomorrow?

Posted by: Wenda at November 06, 2025 09:50 PM (3vLQD) Ha! I quit skiing because our sons and their Dad would get cold waiting for me at the bottom of greens/blues. I told them I was done and go for it, as it was no fun anymore for me not wanting to kill myself. I was never going to progress, living in FL at the time. Plus I had some fear due to college friends and rare bf's expecting to take me to the top of a lift and showing me how to snowplow and adios! It did not matter that I was from MS, and I would tell them this and, oh, you can do it! No, I really did not do it well then. Once I had a lesson at Jackson Hole decades later I did fine, but I was never going to be great or fast. I could not afford the skis nor lessons in college, and mostly did cross-country.

If anyone here believed this, they'd be totally checked out of politics. No voting. No following the news. No commenting at a conservative politics website. Because what would the point be? It's like the person who pretends to be unaffected by an unfaithful spouse. "You can't hurt me if I don't care." It's a jaded pose.

Posted by: LKP at November 07, 2025 03:57 AM (ylpKQ) Republicans -- Get This -- Compromise With Democrats for CRBefore that, an update to the J6 pipe bomb story. The story is on hold.DISAPPOINTED!!!! Well, this is understandable. They are about to name a citizen as a criminal who has been sought (sort of...) by the feds for almost five years. The story can't just be dashed off like an internet post; it needs a full legal scub-down by defamation lawyers. Still: DISAPPOINTED!!!! On to the story of Republicans caving. Here's why Republicans are caving: Despite the fact that it is the Democrats keeping the government shut down, the propaganda media has convinced the cow-like public that it's the Republicans who are to blame. If they do press on, if they do keep the government closed, Democrats will be acting with confidence that comes from a number of polls that show more people blame Republicans for the shutdown than blame the Democrats, who actually caused the impasse. Two polls out just before the election, one from the Washington Post and the other from NBC News, both found that more people blamed Republicans for the shutdown than blamed Democrats. That seems odd, given the plain facts of the case: Democrats are filibustering the government-opening bill. But it makes more sense after looking at media coverage of the standoff. In a new report, the Media Research Center's NewsBusters studied broadcast newscasts for October and noted that "the big three broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, and NBC) have hammered both congressional Republicans and President Trump with a wall of negative shutdown coverage, while largely shielding Democrats from blame for the now-historic gridlock." "Coverage across all three networks was conspicuously vague about how the shutdown had even occurred," the MRC report continued. "There were only 12 instances in which any of the three outlets hinted that Senate Democrats had voted repeatedly against a continuing resolution." Just informally reading print coverage of the shutdown, it's interesting to note that many articles discussed the internal Republican debate on ending the filibuster but did not specifically say the reason for the debate is that Senate Democrats are employing the filibuster to block a government funding bill that has majority support.This must be because the GOP isn't anti-Israel enough. (According to Israel obsessives on the pseudoright.) We're going to be delivering them a win in exchange for opening the government: I believe RIF means "Reduction in Force." Democrats want to force Trump to hire back all the useless leftwing bureaucrats fired by DOGE. Or maybe just fired during the shutdown. (But did we actually fire anyone during the shutdown, or did we just threaten to?) How many we're agreeing to, I don't know. Andrew Desiderio Byron YorkWell, if this just means that Trump will hire back people he fired during the shutdown and undo the funding freezes he imposed during the shutdown -- that's not catastrophic. Look, let's be serious: Those were always bargaining points, intended to be leverage and ultimately bargained away. If that's the price of opening the government and paying the troops and air-traffic controllers, shrug. If that's all it is. Democrats have also demanded that they be given a vote on spending taxpayer dollars on illegal aliens and extending the supposed "emergency" Obamacare subsidies Biden enacted. But here's the rub: The deal they want is that that stuff would not require a 60-vote cloture vote to come to a vote, but would proceed directly to a vote where all you need is 51 votes. Murkowski, Collins, Bill Cassidy and I'm sure a couple of other fake Republicans would then deliver Democrats their victory. That would be a huge concession. The Democrats never gave us anything. The Republicans, of course, make concessions to terrorists. Comments(Jump to bottom of comments)1

Is it really a pipe bomb story if it wasn't a real bomb?
Posted by: Itinerant Alley Butcher at November 06, 2025 06:29 PM (8ubw/) The shifting narrative on that was wild. First, "not operative, fake." Then, "had explosive potential," which is not altogether exclusive of the first. I suspect it was a dummy device with no actual connection from detonating source (timer, electronics) to the detonator and charge, kind of like next level from calling in a bomb scare.

>>> 20 "polls that show more people blame Republicans for the shutdown than blame the Democrats"
I'm dealing with this right now in my personal life. I'm the people pleasing peacemaker. I'm finally growing a spine and setting healthy boundaries and rules with people, where before there were zero boundaries. Guess who is the villain in their eyes? Yes, me, the one setting the boundaries. I'm the bad guy. Republicans have rolled over so much in the past, but now thanks to Trump they had the stones to set boundaries and grow a spine and a pair. Stand up to the Democrats and say no. To the toxic narcissists on the Democrat side, this is evil. And their press machine is better than ours, so the normies think it's our fault because they say so. Hold the line. It's now or never. In for a penny in for a pound. Never cave to the toxic people.

They never get out in front of the cameras and be bold and tell it like it is. "If the Democrats wanted to keep funding these healthcare funds, then they should have done it in their so-called Inflation Reduction Act - but they didn't. They set it to expire at this end of this year because they wanted the CBO Scoring to appeal to voters. So no... its not getting funded because they didn't think it was important enough to extend past this deadline when they had all the power to do so." So yeah, all of my tax dollars will go to some NGO, some unproductive crony pet project or be paid out directly to people who just showed up and bring nothing to the table. F*ck all of this.

They need to pass a dang budget.

Anyone can correct me if I am wrong, but the last budget passed was under GWB. I think. And while I voted for him and was glad he was president each time I voted, I can't stand him now.

Insty notes that the exact same "huge, world-ending, massive" Dem wave that "proves Trump is over, done, finished" happened in ... 2017.
And it STILL took over 50 incumbent Republicans--many high in seniority--to resign (a record # of resignations) plus the entire Republican leadership against Trump and Paul Ryan and Trey Gowdy keeping the Russia Collusion Hoax alive and in the news to hand the House to the Dems.

This must be because the GOP isn't anti-Israel enough. (According to Israel obsessives on the pseudoright.)
--- There is no real "Right", because "Right" is a convention. As long as people don't see there no "real true right"--just like "real true Republican", you're not going to break this down analytically. You'll just continue playing rugby with slogans. Why eys we call call ourselves "the real right". We can call ourselves the "Gods of the Universe" as well. It's like the trans thing, it's not the words you use to describe yourself, it's the functional rubber on the functional road that will bring clarity. Running in scrum with our "right" might score, but isn't going to clarify anything. Posted by: Axeman at November 06, 2025 06:54 PM (krQz2) 146

Just my opinion, but the combination of election day being done and Trump demanding the filibuster on legislation be nuked made this inevitable. The Senate GOP does not want to do the latter because once that horse is out of the barn, it can't be put back in. The Dems can sit back and point the finger of blame across the aisle that the GOP is holding things up.
On another subject, during last night's ONT, Teresa in Fort Worth mentioned a crocheting magazine from the 80s with John Sununu and son in NH sweaters made by Mrs. Sununu.

I'm still looking forward to what God can do in the next year.
And I'll understand if he doesn't want to save the American people from their bad political decisions--because he's never been about that as a rule. I have no hope in Man. But the Lord showed what he can do in 2024. It just might not have lasted long enough. What really happened is that people have shown us that they can be celebratory and cavalier about shooting somebody for being vocal about the wrong politics. And thus people have no excuse not to see that as contributing to our, Lord save us, political decline.

Rectangle Pizza in School Cafeteria wasn’t great, it wasn’t Pizza Hut.
Posted by: Common Tater at November 06, 2025 07:09 PM (OtFdX) They started selling pizza every day at my high school(s). That's all I ate for lunch for a few years. Those long rectangular slices that were basically dough, tomato paste, and cheese. I bought two. Fold them in half and eat them holding that crust, I could throw both slices down in about ten minutes wash them down with a Dr Pepper, and spend the next 40 minutes goofing off until the next class. And then by the end of my time they started selling those little Pizza Hut personal pizzas at my school. Pure heaven for school lunch. Posted by: SpeakingOf at November 06, 2025 07:16 PM (6ydKt) 227

If the shutdown continues, more feds expecting ‘sick outs’, Nov 6, 2025
Really? In part, Federal News Network conducted an online poll from Nov. 4-6 of self-selected federal employees who said they are working during the partial government shutdown. Aside from the few well-publicized strategic uses of sick leave like at the FAA or among TSOs, respondents say they have not necessarily noticed more federal employees calling out sick during the first month of the shutdown. “As an excepted worker who must come in five days a week, I can’t take up a gig job like furloughed workers. I don’t think it’s a ‘sick out’ to protest, I think it’s people taking off to do part time jobs to start earning some money,” wrote one respondent." Btw, the furloughed workers are waiting to retire (some were to Oct 1 & others at the very end of the year. They're not getting their last paychecks so they can retire and/or live until the end of the year to retire ). RIFed employees are often offered a job some place else, possibly even another bureau within an agency. They don't want them, tough shit. That's the rules...forever. what would private industry give them?! Enough lies. 36+years Posted by: No nic, another fine day at November 06, 2025 08:16 PM (NFX2v) 273

249. Lots of people aren't getting paid and the Trump administration is running out of tricks to keep paying some of them.
Posted by JackS They can resign 'federal service' and get another job. Further, there's unemployment for many but they won't want to pay it back when they're called back in so they won't file. AI Overview- specific data points related to federal worker unemployment include: Continuing Claims: In September 2025, the number of federal workers with continuing jobless claims was reported at 8,168 people. Initial Claims: In the week ending September 13, 2025, 635 initial claims were filed by former federal civilian employees. Shutdown Impact: The recent government shutdown, which began in October 2025, has caused a significant increase in claims, with over 7,200 federal workers filing in a single week in mid-October. The exact total number of all federal employees currently in unemployment is difficult to pinpoint precisely due to the ongoing shutdown, as many are furloughed and may eventually receive back pay, which complicates unemployment statistics. The numbers fluctuate weekly with new claims." --- The Rs can grow spines. And MSM can stop embellishing. Posted by: L - No nic... at November 06, 2025 08:39 PM (NFX2v) 275
