Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Wondering how long before they actually come to work. I assume these are paid days off for them. Kids are about to go hungry and the air traffic controllers are working for no pay rn, but pay the House members to sit at home. This isn't a working Democracy anymore. It's shameful.

YouTube video by Reagan Library President Reagan's Radio Address on Free and Fair Trade on April 25, 1987

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

He's a monster.

A tweet from Tim Walz reads: “18,000 Minnesota federal employees are facing unemployment while you’re sitting on your ass. Get back to Washington.” It quotes a tweet from Pete Stauber that says: “No better way to end a beautiful weekend in Northern Minnesota!” with an attached photo showing a cozy outdoor fire pit surrounded by chairs, wood stacks, and string lights at sunset.

The GOP-led Congress has been out of session for too long. The House is not shut down. They’re getting paid and should be working.

Got buried in the news this weekend, but President Jesus said the F word on CNN at like 2pm in the afternoon. The next day he posted a poop-filled scat video, but tell Me more about the dignity of the office of the presidency.

REAGAN: “When someone says let’s impose tariffs, it may look like they’re doing the patriotic thing… but over the long run trade barriers hurt every 🇺🇸 worker.”

🇨🇦 Ontario just ran this👇🏽powerful ad using Reagan’s voice against Trump’s trade war during game 7 of the ALCS ⚾️

Comey unleashed. Love to see him bringing the receipts.

Oh my goodness. I hope it isn't anything serious. Feel better soon!

This WH pic is a very, very sad photo to me. Everything he touches really does die. All of it just....ruined forever.

It hurts to see his destruction of the people's house.

Q: Why are my electricity bills going up?

A: You are likely (a) in a region impacted by Trump tariffs and retaliatory price hikes in electricity from Canada, or (b) in a region subsidizing billionaire-owned data farms for AI or crypto mining.

It’s not because of immigrants or drag queens.

American farmers are hurting. Trump's trade war is making it worse Farmers are struggling this fall despite a bountiful harvest. Production costs are high, crop prices are low and the trade war has closed off one of their biggest markets.

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Amy Schumer says she voted early in NY for a name that rhymes with "duomo" so yeah, she's not one I'll watch anymore. Kevin Hart and JoKoy going to do that comedy show for the bone-saw killers in Saudi snatched them out of my enjoyed watching them list too. Ugh. This is awful.

MSNBC captured the crowd from the Boston "No Kings" rally:

A friend in Corvallis, Oregon sent me this one 🤣 #NoKings

Hell yes, Pittsburgh. Love Yinz. No Kings.

When the Birmingham, Alabama, march is packed, you know something is up in America!

Every state with a Democratic legislature and Democratic governor could do this right now — they wouldn’t even need to do a ballot initiative. They could do it RIGHT NOW — so please pass it on and spread the word 👇

Los Angeles came out in droves. #NoKings

Trump Orders Santos to Be Freed From Prison ‘Immediately’

Is anyone keeping track of cost of Trump's pardons in lost fines and restitution payments?

Santos "will also no longer be required to pay more than $370,000 in court-ordered restitution to his victims"
