Staggering atrocities in Sudan.
Following the mass slaughter of nearly 500 men, women, and children at a maternity hospital, UN officials say: "The situation is simply horrifying... El Fasher, already the scene of catastrophic levels of human suffering, has descended into an even darker hell."
A ballroom at the White House could seat nearly a 1,000 guests for state dinners, but what to do while it's being built? NPR's Scott Simon suggests holding state dinners at the Iowa State Fairgrounds. n.pr/3LghFE2

Mike Johnson Accidentally Admits Why He Wonβt Fund Food Stamps: βIt Would Mess Up Our Leverageβ

I LOVE THIS FOR HER!!
FUCK MAGA!!
FUCK TRUMP!!
Hey MAGA - it turns out that the ENTIRE WORLD saw Trump supporters attack our Capitol
We heard him incite the mob.
Obviously an investigation was opened based on republican efforts to overturn the election.
It happened
We saw it
The Supreme Court gave him a huge gift by slow walking it
Fantastic video by Jon Stewart! Watch Trump revel in the pomp and adoration he thinks he deserves -- from other countries.

SNAP isnβt saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothingβs guaranteed.
Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.
REPUBLICAN Rep. Turner says Hegseth & Trump gave βnot very good answersβ about the boat bombings in international waters. (As the UN condemns it)
Dozens killed. No evidence that any of this was necessary or justified.

www.chewy.com/g/give-back
Enter your location and it lists area organizations, including pet food pantries, and their needs. Also seems to be a good place to start if you are in need of pet food too.
Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

We remember the actress who passed away over the weekend. Our thoughts are with her family and friends.
Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?
Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?
And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?
Note: This is me β I asked this question.
Youβll hear me say βyes you haveβ here β because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.
So much winning, on top of a government shutdown, the labor market is in collapse.
