made the conscious decision some months ago to stay in Atlanta and fight like hell against fascist insurrection. having a hard time seeing this news and not concluding America is a failed state.

They are hoping this shut down kills the SNAP program, the ACA, and HEAP to name a few. I hear older adults programs are next.

Disgraceful.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered.

This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

2 dogs and a cat here, can attest best vacuum ever.

State-by-state guide: what happens when SNAP benefits stop Nov. 1 NPR's state-by-state guide shows how 42 million Americans will be affected when SNAP benefits end November 1st.

Remember they are doing this not only because they do not give a shit about us but because they are full of hatred, cruelty, greed and lust for power. The republicans could stop this anytime they want since they control the majority.

That is awesome. I love it for Mike.

This. Exactly. SNAP benefits have not run out due to the shutdown. They haven't run out at all. MAGA is just refusing to pay people so they can eat. Violating the most minimal level of civility brings joy to MAGA

It takes 51 senators to steamroll the filibuster and end the shutdown. That's it. There are 53 republicans in the senate.

Anyone blaming the democrats for this is lying.

This is a *great* quick thread. I wrote about Deciding to Win yesterday as a case study in bad data interpretation:

but this thread has multiple little examples of screw-ups that completely change what you're supposedly measuring.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

😡

As a disabled person this really ruffles my feathers...😡

Good luck getting me to shut up there tRump.

Puppy Killer Ice Barbies lips are moving so she is lying, hateful and cruel. In other words, screw the kids, in her twisted mind.

Oh for an edit button, *fucked up

Banks and Retailers Run Short on Pennies as The US Mint Stops Making Them The United States is running out of pennies.

Just another thing tRump fucked for the economy, the people and especially small businesses.

Blah, you never beat him you orange turd. And you just described yourself, projection much.

Okay taco terrorist tRump.

Sorry but 47 million Argentinians (whom I have complete empathy for) vs American elderly, disables and children starving and many many people without health insurance...

Please do *not* circulate this story that the NC GOP does not want circulated.

Please, they have threatened you nicely, please.

SCOOP: Trump Swaps Decorated Admiral With 33-Year-Old DOGEr The highly unorthodox personnel change affects a critical government research role.

“Usually the head of Naval Research is a very senior member of the military or the senior executive service with an extensive experience in technology, science, engineering,” Sen. Mark Kelly said in a brief interview. Not a DOGE staffer. www.thebulwark.com/p/scoop-trum...

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
