Honestly, at this point, how can we be sure they aren't funding SNAP because they already used the emergency funds on something else? The bathroom, the ballroom, the bailout of Argentina... It's very possible those funds are long gone and caked in marble.

This is the first truth I've heard him tell. It IS going to get worse. But, remember, it is always darkest before the dawn. And when short men cast tall shadows, it is because the sun is behind them. Vote.

NCGOP spokesman appears to be threatening @propublica.org's @dougbockclark.bsky.social with retaliation by the Trump administration for reporting on a state Supreme Court justice www.propublica.org/article/paul...

This is important. The plan has always been to shut down the government indefinitely. It is IMPERATIVE that you vote in your upcoming local elections. If for no other reason then it will soon be up to individual states to save their people regardless of SCOTUS.

Remember he KNOWS he's dying. THEY know he's dying. His whole wanting to run in 2028 talk is performative to let a dying king think he will rule forever. Stay focused. Vote in your local elections.

We are now quickly moving to the point where states will have to assume their rightly ability, in extremis, to judge the actual meaning of the constitution regardless of what Republicans on the Supreme Court claim.

I truly hope I'm wrong, but this sounds like they've discussed more demolition. The East Wing was a test.

The optics of Trump building a ballroom that 99.9% of Americans will never set foot in while millions line up for food banks are worth more than any policy paper or economic proposal. This image is a visceral punch in the mouth that needs no words. It should haunt the GOP for a generation.
22.10.2025 17:18 β π 4925 π 1809 π¬ 183 π 67The NC GOP just pushed through another gerrymandered mapβbecause they canβt win fair elections.
Itβs cheating, and itβs a disgrace. Voters should choose their representatives, not the other way around.
Speaker Hall just said there likely wonβt be any more recorded votes in the NC House this year.
Translation: Republicans are clocking out without passing a budget (their core responsibility).
..but they found time to rig maps for the 7th time.
It's official: North Carolina's Republican-controlled Legislature just passed a new congressional map designed to give the GOP an extra House seat.
This is the third state to follow Trump's gerrymandering demand, following Texas and Missouri.
If North Carolina enacts this new map, it will be sued.
I don't bluff and I usually win.
This is what authoritarianism looks like. My heart weeps for The People's House.

For all the harm he has done (and will continue to do), this is among the worst. The People's House destroyed by a mad man, surrounded by cowards to refuse to stop him.

NC Republicansβ corrupt new maps continue to advance through the legislature.
The NC House will have their full floor vote on the maps tomorrow. They'd prefer to hide from us, but we will not be silenced! Join us.

North Carolina Republicans are saying the quiet part out loud. Openly admitting to drawing a congressional map for Donald Trump.
Itβs not just politics β itβs corruption. North Carolinians deserve free and fair elections, not gerrymandered districts.
40 million Americans may go hungry in November because their SNAP funding is at risk.
40 million people at a time when most are already struggling to put food on the table.
Trump just gave 40 billion to Argentina.
That could feed every American.
That could easily fund SNAP.
America first?
This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings
