Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

β€˜No new information:’ Philly sheriff mum 15 months after a guy with a poodle wrecked an office SUV Sheriff Rochelle Bilal won't disclose the outcome of an investigation involving a high-ranking deputy's city-leased Ford Expedition. Meanwhile, another deputy recently had her car stolen.

Fifteen months after an SUV assigned to a top deputy in the sheriff’s office blew a red light in West Philly and caused a four-car wreck, promises of accountability have not yet been fulfilled.

Rioters tried to kill me on January 6. Trump pardoned them. What it’s like to defend democracy, only to be called an un-American traitor.

"What it's like to defend democracy, only to be called an un-American traitor."

Sgt. Aquilino Gonell defended the Capitol on January 6. He wrote a scathing rebuke of Donald Trump and his enablers:

1 in 8 people rely on SNAP.

You know something's wrong when in the richest, most powerful country in the world, the President is refusing to fund SNAP and instead, actively weaponizing people's hunger.
 
It's immoral. It's cruel. And it must come to an end.

Melkart Abou-Jaoude’s Steady Rise Reflects UNC’s Culture of Consistency During his Tuesday availability, UNC Football coach Bill Belichick highlighted defensive end Melkart Abou Jaoude’s growth as a reflection of UNC’s standard for preparation and self-improvement. "Nobody works harder than Melkart. He’s a very good worker in every phase of the game - training, lifting, conditioning, film, practice, and then applying it in games."

Missouri is the only state in the nation to tax income, but not capital gains.

We are also ranked 50th in the nation for education funding.

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

If you don’t know Lina Khan, now is a great time to know about her. She’s now on Zohran Mamdani’s transition team. She’s also the former FTC Chair, only 36, & committed to leveling the playing field for everyday Americans. She is an absolute star. This is what hope feels like.

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand.

For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power.

Let’s change that. One election at a time.

"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

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.

North America May Soon No Longer Be Officially Measles-Free, Experts Say A meeting of the Pan AmericanΒ HealthΒ Organization this week will address the resurgence of measles in the Americas

Well, yeah.

The US will lose its measles elimination status because measles is now endemic, here - that's when there's uninterrupted transmission from an outbreak that goes on for at least 12 months.

& watch out, Canadian friends πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ - you're on our heels.

Nothing worse than a hound dog that's left alone ALL day outside. My neighbor got a new dog. Poor baby. The howling is heartbreaking. My heart is sick. 😭 I know it's not unusual, especially for around here, but I'm very upset about it.

Trump illegally withheld $5.5 billion in SNAP funds, defying Congress & the courts.

He’d rather let 16 million kids go hungry than obey the law.

After threats & delays, the WH now says it will β€œcomply" w/ a court order to fund SNAP.

This is chaos. No way to run the government.
