And For Funding SNAP.......

Poking a rabid bear is not a good negotiation. It just isn't. PM Carney is a stand up guy who does not operate from "feelings." Thank goodness. If he thought saying mea culpe to Dumpy was necessary to calm the psycho down. PMMC can put his ego aside for Canada. That's enlightened leadership.

Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.
βIf theyβre so poor how did they buy an iPhone???β
Because theyβre trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is luxury, survive a month without it.
Speaker Johnson: Federal employees arenβt being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.
End the 6 week paid vacation youβve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.
Karoline Leavitt is a consummate sychophantic liar for hire.
In more vulgar terms...a whore for $.
Remarkable how an individual can stand there and boldly lie so egregiously to the American people and world.

The slowed down video of puppy Minnie & Pippi playing is a delight to watch, it certainly reveals the little nuances that you miss in real time. π
THIS is why all Establishment Dems need to retire/resign.
They LET this happen, choosing to triangulate with their βgood friendsβ,
Listening to weak, poll-tested consultants.
DNC is STILL failing to communicate the truth.
Mamdani, David Hogg, AOC, Crockett, Casar, THEY are the future of Democrats.
We need more discussion of civics in school and town newspapers.

Such cruel, craven men terrorizing Chicagoland and elsewhere.
Random acts of compassion like this say more about who we are and where we are than any speech ever could.
No one in America should be one purchase away from going hungry.

Alex Berenson argued in federal court that the unvaccinated are a βprotected class,β akin to racial and ethnic minorities and other groups who have historically faced discrimination.
The judge disagreed.
