Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and sheโ€™s pretending to care b/c sheโ€™s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesnโ€™t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

To Americans Still "Staying out of Politics" A few days ago, I ran into a friend from my former church at the grocery store.

I get it: itโ€™s terrifying to admit whatโ€™s happening right now.

No one wants to believe their nation is falling into authoritarianism, that the norms they relied on in the past are no longer givens, that the canโ€™t-happen-heres are actually happening here.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

LET THEM EAT CAKE.

SNAP benefits will halt for millions of American families on November 1st, but the $300 million (and counting) ballroom will continue to move forward.

Make it make sense.

P.S. Millions of Trump voters rely on SNAP.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

You know the whole โ€œsometimes the simplest explanation is rightโ€ thing? Heโ€™s an unvetted idiot & heโ€™s not ready for prime time. Everything about his past & present behavior only reinforces that. They have other options. That election is in 2026. They have another damn election within 2 weeks ffs.

Gov. Pritzker: "They literally did a military attack on a building with a Black Hawk helicopter...You don't arrest an entire building, detain everybody, zip tie children, hold elderly people in a U-Haul for house โ€” U.S. citizens!"

โ€œLet them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a jobโ€

First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. Theyโ€™re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality.

Second, many are disabled and children and canโ€™t work.

Third, no one should starve to death.

He bulldozed the White House during a government shutdown to build himself a ballroom, then sent a letter to the states saying that SNAP benefits for 42 million people may not go out in November to those who rely on it to eat.

The 8-year-old said, โ€œI saw soldiers and was so scared I started shaking.โ€
