NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

US consumer sentiment drops to near record low as shutdown persists Economic concerns felt by Americans of different ages, incomes and political affiliations, survey finds

Every day it becomes clearer that Trump has no interest in improving people's lives.

“His economic mismanagement has left households buried under record debt & rising prices. It’s no surprise consumer sentiment is at its lowest point since 2022,” @alexsjacquez.bsky.social told @us.theguardian.com.

Yes! My local fox affiliate had 4 episodes from 5 - 7 pm and it was the best!!

Also, they had this crazy promo that I found recently: youtu.be/LuaQqa2odu8?...

One horrific thing to me is that the president- a man who has gotten away with everything including literal murder up to this point- seems extremely nervous about anything regarding Epstein coming out. Like how bad does it have to be

States Should Use TANF to Help Families Meet Their Basic Needs and Thrive, Not to Balance Budgets In recent months, Kentucky and South Dakota have cut cash benefits under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, reducing support that families need for essentials like rent,...

Kentucky and South Dakota have cut #TANF benefits, citing fiscal pressures — but TANF is meant to help families with children and very low incomes meet their basic needs, not to fill holes in state budgets. www.cbpp.org/blog/states-...

The U.S. lost an average of 11,000 jobs every week in October, per CNBC.

Lucky to have employer-subsidized healthcare, but even with it costs are increasing so much.

Can't imagine what folks who lost their ACA benefits are feeling.

The woman on TikTok calling the mosques and asking if they’d help her with formula and 100% of them asking nothing but what kind do you want and where are you is the Muslim I am, the Muslim I know. And it really makes the hate that much more unmooring.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

if they were going to cave anyway they should’ve done it a week ago to spare SNAP recipients the agony.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

The number one way you know the whole "the Democrats are controlled by the far left!" thing that centrists and Republicans like to talk about is 100% bullshit is just watching literally everything Chuck Schumer does.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

SNAP benefits are under attack during this government shutdown and food banks are picking up the slack.

But they need your help. Here are the best ways to do that:

Q: A federal judge ruled that the administration has to fully fund SNAP. DOJ said they're gonna appeal. What's your message to folks as we're headed to Thanksgiving?

Government Shutdown, Trade Wars Hit Farmers' Bottom Line Hard | The Daily Yonder For Wendy Johnson, a livestock and organic grain farmer in Charles City, Iowa, October is usually the time she visits her local Natural Resources

The shutdown, combined with loss of USDA staff under Sec Rollins, is making it hard for farmers to plan for next year. Tariff and trade uncertainty + no Farm Bill making it even harder.

As SNAP funding lapsed, a top official called the program 'corrupt' The comments came as federal courts ordered the Trump administration to resume food assistance payments.

"The Democrat Party has turned its back on working Americans and built its entire strategy around protecting illegal aliens. They know if the handouts stop, those illegals will go back home, and Democrats will lose 20+ seats after the next census."

Despite shutdown, SNAP work requirements go into effect this week. What to know Trump's OBBA made big changes to SNAP's work requirements and exemptions, which go into effect this week.

Thanks to the Republican budget bill passed over the summer, it’s not just SNAP benefits that might be turned off.

New work requirements are also going into effect, meaning more people will go hungry.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Trump still has not followed a court order to release SNAP funds for millions of people.

Meanwhile, he hosted a "Great Gatsby" themed party at Mar-a-Lago this weekend.

And he posted seven times about renovating a White House bathroom with marble and gold.

Priorities.

As SNAP delays hit millions, Americans wastes up to $400 billion of food a year As SNAP benefits lapse, a startling statistic reveals that the U.S. risks wasting billions of dollars in food every year

Nearly $400 billion worth of food is wasted in the U.S. every year — according to food waste non-profit ReFED.

“Socialism doesn’t work” say the people who are stripping people of health insurance, food benefits, and busting unions fighting to institute a living wage. Who have us drowning in debt.
