“We need food, we have no food”: desperation takes hold in Jamaica after hurricane - BBC News

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

So many people felt good about voting for trump because bad things would only happen to others. Now they expect empathy.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

We knew this was coming.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

This is the third U.S. Attorney found to be unlawfully appointed. The other two are Sigal Chattah and Alina Habba. Their indictments stand because they were signed by other prosecutors. Not true for Lindsey Halligan.

Ditto. Plus a special virtual hug from an experienced grandmother.

Hell yeah!

🚨 NEW: 22 states, DC, and 3 governors just filed a legal challenge over a $5 billion “contingency fund” meant to keep SNAP benefits going.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states: “FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine. They do not have large cocaine factories. They do not produce fentanyl either. What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

The Next Golden Age of the Death Penalty Is Beginning - The Atlantic

Trump enjoys this killing part. Blowing up boats in international waters. Bringing back the death penalty. No food stamps…

Keep this in mind.

Do you really think we’ll have another election?

Congress doesn’t really exist any longer as trump usurps its role. The constitution no longer applies.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
