Trump threatens to withhold SNAP funding until shutdown ends The president’s Truth Social post Tuesday appears to contradict his own administration’s actions and violate a federal court order.

www.politico.com/news/2025/11... #ProudBlue. Trump will not release funds to pay partial SNAP benefits. Republicans goal is to make American suffer as much as possible. And to give Dems a Sophies Choice of food or health care when the government can and should pay for both. This is sadistic torture

The Black Panthers are distributing food to those who have dire need due to suspension of food assistance programs. Are Turning Point USA doing the same?

The evilness of trump and MAGA is beyond comprehension.

Do it Canada! Don't have anything to do with the US!
Don't trade, don't allow tourists, don't send tourists, don't
allow anyone from the Trump Reich to visit, just turn your back on this godforsaken country and make that son of a bitch pay thru the nose!
Many of us will applaud you!

Ex-national security adviser John Bolton indicted in classified documents case The charges come two months after the FBI executed a search warrant at Bolton's suburban Washington home.

Read paragraphs 3&4 and then tell me this doesn’t exactly describe Pete Hegseth and his use of the Signal App with classified defense material 🤷🏼‍♀️

Omg

So disgusting!

Beachfront home of South Carolina judge, ex-senator burned to ground, injuring 3 Ex-senator Arnold Goodstein, along with two additional people, were rescued by several neighbors and paramedics from a marshy, remote area behind the home after jumping from the fist floor.

No indication yet from major media that the FBI has any interest whatsoever in investigating this apparent attempted assassination of a well-known judge openly targeted on social media by the far-right activist—Harmeet Dhillon—currently calling herself Assistant Attorney General of the United States

Stay away from this country if you’re a tourist. It isn’t safe here. Not for citizens, and certainly not for visitors or foreign workers. We are a lawless nation under siege by its own government, and at war with itself. The United States as you knew, no longer exists. You’d fare better in Sudan…

You cannot get more un-American than this.

I refer to the State Department edict.

Remember, this new policy curtailing free speech is brought to you by the very people who spent the last decade whining like children about their free speech being abridged and Democrats allegedly hating free speech.

Lisa Murkowski is beyond pathetic.

You republican assholes!
Break it then send bandaids.

They’re nail biting because there’s a supposed election coming up

We Are Not the Generation That Lets This Die After 250 years of sacrifice, we won’t let apathy be our legacy.

Some generations were asked to storm beaches. Ours is being asked to stay engaged. That’s not too much to ask.

I wrote this piece not just as a veteran or former congressman but as a dad. We are not the generation that lets this flame die. Not on my watch

Trump is simultaneously insisting that the economy is red hot BUT ALSO interest rates need to be cut. The math ain't mathing.

He is a sick bastard

BARRASSO: We have over 5 million people sitting at home who are able to work who are on Medicaid and choose not to work

WELKER: 92 percent of people who are on Medicaid are either working or would qualify for an exemption

Maybe I’m weird, too. 🤷🏼‍♂️

Good Trouble Lives On On July 17, five years since the passing of Congressman John Lewis, communities across the country will take to the streets, courthouses, and community spaces to carry forward his fight for justice, v...

If you are using undocumented immigrants' tax records to find and kidnap them, then it was never about them paying taxes. If you are showing up at their place of employment, then it was never about them not working. If you are showing up at courthouses, then it was never about getting them to "do it the right way". If you are kidnapping women and children, then it was never about criminals. If you're refusing to give them due process, then it was never about the Constitution. If you are building concentration camps in Florida to keep them here in cages, then it was never about the border. If you're spending billions to do this, then it was never about the economy. And if you're doing all this in the name of a 34 time convicted felon, then it was never about following the law.

The mass deportations won’t save money. They won’t get bad guys, protect citizens, curb fentanyl, or help our economy.

But if we let them, they will inspire more racism and fear, and prepare us to accept a police state. Don’t let yourself become numb to this.
