BREAKING: DOJ goes to SCOTUS trying to stop a district court order that USDA pay out full SNAP benefits this month.

The First Circuit denied an administrative stay, but has not yet ruled on the stay request. And, CNN reported that USDA is already processing payments.

DOJ went to SCOTUS anyway.

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

basically every 2024 truism is dead. Trump did not build a lasting multiracial coalition or turn young men into committed Republicans. You don’t need to cave on trans rights to win. The pundits have nothing left to tell you.

These elections really should be easy Republican wins since Trump said his approval ratings are at record highs, prices are down, he’s ended 29 wars, there is no inflation, nobody likes Democrats, and everything is better than it has ever been before.

A tweet from Ruben Gallego (@RubenGallego) reads: “Just got this message from a constituent: ‘Holy crap. My ACA health insurance premiums jumped from $763 to $1195. This is a 64% increase. It’s 23% of my income.’ Holy crap is right. Republicans CHOSE THIS.”

I’m sure there are many horror stories about sudden spikes in premium rates. This was totally avoidable and exactly why Democrats drew a hard line.

Most of my former colleagues on the right now wanting to kick the white supremacists, fascists, & antisemites out of the MAGA tent are the very same folks who either looked the other way or welcomed the white supremacists, fascists, & antisemites into the MAGA tent to begin with.

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

Jury selection begins in the trial of D.C.'s 'sandwich guy' Sean Dunn went viral this summer for throwing a salami sub at a Customs and Border Protection agent.

NEW: Jury selection begins in the trial of sandwich guy today. The prosecutors are accusing him of "throwing a meat sandwich" at "point-blank range."

If you’re rarely surprised, you’re rarely learning.

Not something to be proud of.

Find more people or writers who make you say “Ohh…. Hmmm” more often.

James Earl Jones, the old former baseball player with the big dog from the Sandlot.

You are not a patriot if you have contempt for people who use SNAP benefits to eat while simultaneously not caring about a $300 million dollar ballroom, you are exactly what they molded you to be, a pawn in their game to divide us and enrich themselves. Congratulation, you lose.

If your newspaper is giving Donald Trump softer headlines and gauzier coverage than People Magazine, that should be a bit of a wake up call.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Surely an aircraft controller working two jobs keeps us all safer. This country is toppling over because we bend over backwards to feed 200 greedy psychopaths instead of being a country for 350 million people.

@katmabu.bsky.social has put herself on the line to protect our communities from ICE and now she’s being prosecuted for daring to dissent.

We’re proud to stand with Kat and the rest of the “Broadview Six” against these trumped-up charges. And we’re proud to support Kat for Congress.

We don’t need to become them to beat MAGA. We can still fight fire with fire without sacrificing our values. Platner isn’t who we need in this moment and he can still volunteer and help out others in campaigning if he wants to make a difference and make up for past transgressions.

This was one of the horrifying videos I’ve ever watched. Grayson deserves to rot and there is no doubt in my mind that he deserves the maximum sentence. Sonya Massey we will remember you.

Watching ‘The Last Republican’ tonight. Everyone should also watch this not only to support independent media but for democracy and preserving the truth.

"To any governors or state legislators out there... if you are in a position where you have the power to redraw your maps... if you have the ability to meet this moment with the urgency that it deserves, I'm calling on you to do exactly what we're doing in California and to fight fire with fire."

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

BREAKING: The full bench of the 9th circuit has agreed to take up the Portland National Guard case and vacated the panel decision that had blessed Trump’s deployment.

Now it’s finally time for the age of the steam farm.

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.
