Study: 14 million lives could be lost due to Trump aid cuts A new study looks at lives saved by USAID in the past and what the future without the agency will look like.

As we're remembering that Dick Cheney killed a million Iraqis, remember that the death toll from cutting USAID funding will be still larger than that.

Closing with a history lesson, and leaning in rather than backing away. Just terrific.

Chicago woman dragged out of her car after colliding with ICE demands accountability The arrest of Dayanne Figueroa highlights growing concerns about the use of force against U.S. citizens and due process. She was released after a few hours without charges.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

The fact that Epstein introduced Donald to Melania on Epstein's jet and Melania and Donald had sex for the first time on that jet makes me wonder if Melania was procured by Epstein for Donald.

Mike Johnson’s Christian Values: Children Starve, Pedophiles Skate On Saturday, November 1, the real pain of the shutdown starts for people. Donald Trump and the Republicans have screamed: We. Don’t. Care.

These are Mike Johnson’s Christian values, as Paul Krugman put it on his Substack: β€œIt sounds crazy to say Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.”

Idk how many times I've watched this, but it's some of the best stand-up ever done on Trump. Except maybe the line "I think we're gonna be ok," that hasn't aged so well. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JhkZ...

Trump & his lapdogs in Congress pushed through a $186 billion cut to SNAP/CalFresh over the next 10 years in their budget this Summer.

They chose that. Cruelty.

He’s turned his back on the American people.

It only ends when Trump gets on a plane & returns to the US to negotiate with his own party

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?

We voted for their farms because we know Democratic policies are better for farmers. Unfortunately, farmers didn’t vote for their farms.

And they’ll keep voting Republican.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.
