UN leaders condemn β€˜horrifying’ mass killings in Sudan Emergency security council session criticises killings of civilians in El Fasher and external supply of arms to RSF

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."

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

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s 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 β€œnot very good answers” about the boat bombings in international waters. (As the UN condemns it)

Dozens killed. No evidence that any of this was necessary or justified.

Chewy Gives Back At Chewy, we share your passion for pets. You can help us make an even greater impact by donating items to your local shelter or rescue through their Wish List. Ready to bring love home? Search for yo...

Out of curiosity, I looked to see if Chewy had a pet food donation program, and they do:
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

If America had a Mom, she would probably be June Lockhart. Lockhart grew from child player to ingenue in supporting roles in "A" pictures and leads in "B" movies.

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.

You’ll hear me say β€œyes you have” 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.

Another quote that had it come from any other president would have been a weeks-long scandal. Instead, it's just Wednesday.
