Disgusting.
I often think of how narrowly Johnson held on to his seat in 2022. Almost unseated by a Black man half his age named Mandela.
@electdemocrats.bsky.social should fight for Wisconsin in 2028. Johnson needs to go.

Another host, Eugene Daniels, asked Mr. Cuomo what he meant by diversity being a β€œweakness.”

β€œDiversity can be a weakness if you have antipathy among groups, Jonathan,” Mr. Cuomo said, mistaking Mr. Daniels for his co-host Jonathan Capehart, both of whom are Black.

You can't make this up.

Bloomberg just doubled down on his support for Cuomo.

Bloombergβ€”who has hoarded $109.4Bβ€”has spent $8M to get Cuomo elected. That's like the average American household spending $4.38.

Billionaires got us into this affordability crisis. They will not get us out. Abolish billionaires. Vote Mamdani.

While we are outraged about Trump posting pictures of his desecration of Lincoln's bedroom bathroom, let's not forget that Americans should have been more outraged about these pictures from Trump's bathroom in Florida.

Trump’s Agriculture Secretary Rollins & Johnson called 42 million Americans losing SNAP benefits a β€œsilver lining” because it sparked β€œa national conversation.”

Imagine being so detached from hunger that you see families skipping meals as a PR opportunity.

Obamacare Prices Become Public, Highlighting Big Increases

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Grokipedia entry that reads: 

George Perry Floyd Jr. (October 14, 1973 – May 25, 2020) was an American man with a lengthy criminal record including convictions for armed robbery, drug possession, and theft in Texas from 1997 to 2007.[1][2]
On May 25, 2020, Floyd was arrested in Minneapolis, Minnesota, after a store clerk reported that he had used a counterfeit $20 bill to purchase cigarettes.[3][4] During the arrest, which involved resistance from Floyd who repeatedly stated he could not breathe even before being placed prone, officer Derek Chauvin knelt on Floyd's neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds while Floyd became unresponsive.[3]
The Hennepin County medical examiner ruled Floyd's death a homicide due to cardiopulmonary arrest complicating law enforcement subdual, restraint, and neck compression, with contributing factors including severe hypertensive atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, fentanyl intoxication, and recent methamphetamine use; toxicology tests detected 11 ng/mL of fentanyl in his blood, a level associated with overdose fatalities in individuals without tolerance.[5][6][7] Chauvin was convicted in 2021 of second-degree unintentional murder, third-degree murder, and second-degree manslaughter, receiving a 22.5-year sentence.

This is the opening of the Grokipedia entry on George Floyd.

I think we can all agree that Floyd did not become well known around the world because of his "lengthy criminal record." Opening the entry this way is seemingly an attempt to manufacture consent for his killing.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

On the bright side, Argentina’s stock market is doing great today after Trump gave them $40 billion. Meanwhile, Americans are expected to go hungry in just a few days.

The Senate is still meeting and holding votes as normal despite the shutdown.

The House has not held a vote in a month and a half now solely because Mike Johnson wants to prevent the release of the Epstein Files.

They've killed our government to save their pedophiles.

Thanksgiving is less than a month away, and #47 is playing politics with 42 million Americans' holiday meals. Suspending SNAP benefits to punish poor people for being poor. People do not choose to be poor. #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #VOTEBLUE2025

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

It costs the average US taxpayer $3 per month to pay for SNAP benefits so other Americans can eat.

It costs the average US taxpayer $59 per month to pay for subsidies to big business.

Why are they so pissed off over people getting SNAP benefits and not pissed off at socialism for rich people?

$40B for Argentina
$1B to refurbish Trump's Qatar jet
$230M for Trump's DOJ "compensation"
$200M for Kristi Noem's jets

But no money to lower your healthcare costs.
