Pretty incredible stats:

-Employment is now 240,000 higher than pre-pandemic
-Men have fully recovered all job losses from pandemic.
(Women are close, but still ~264,000 off)-Manufacturing added 461,000 jobs in past year

There's a bit of a goldilocks feel to this latest report.
It's not too cold, and with payrolls growth averaging +378k per month(!), it puts an end to any talk the U.S. economy is in recession.
It's not too hot, with a sharp rise in participation, and more sustainable job growth

BREAKING: President Biden is asking Congress for $13.7 billion for Ukraine as U.S. aid to the war-torn country is running out. It’s part of a $47.1 billion emergency spending request that includes money for the COVID-19 response and the monkeypox outbreak. https://t.co/1lSyQkFx2K

If you think it's "unthinkable' Dems can't gain seats in the midterm, maybe think harder.
In 2002, the GOP gained seats in the House and Senate. Why? A seminal event put wind in their sails: 9-11.
20 years later, another seminal event favors Dems: the overturning of Roe.

Young people, especially *young women*, organizing & getting to the polls, may yet save this country. I've witnessed it firsthand & it's like a glass of cool water in a desert. The kids are very alright. https://t.co/0aa0LrUGmj

While the quoted tweet contains very good new, it is absolutely not an excuse to slack off or relax.
It is, if anything, encouragement to work harder, to solidify these gains and run up the score on the bastards. https://t.co/20uQe1pUj0— soonergrunt ???? A Capybara Appreciation Account (@soonergrunt) August 24, 2022
