Banks are probably donating to Trump to make this happen

This is batshit crazy… it’s not a solution, it’s a financial ball and chain.

Also not really sure who's going to underwrite a 50-year mortgage when the average stay in workforce is far shorter and retirement means a substantial drop in income, which is supposed to be offset by... not having a mortage.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving.

Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:

The greatest moment for this Supreme Court was the day Justice Katanji Brown Jackson joined.

So she is forcing the Supreme Court to hear the whole argument as to why snap is being withheld or literally cancelled.
This prevents the plan 2 keep kicking the can down the road.
Brava Ma'am.

Republicans are pumping billions of dollars into Trump's deportation force while slashing the programs that actually help American families...

It would cost $38 billion to extend ACA credits next year and prevent millions of people from losing their healthcare.

Reminder: Trump sent $40 billion to Argentina for no reason.

This is good, and should actually make us feel better.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson temporarily blocked a ruling that required Trump to fully fund SNAP because she’s playing chess, not checkers. She sent it back to the lower courts for a reason. 👀

Teachers in US military schools abroad who have been working without pay during the government shutdown received letters this week telling them they owed money to the government, CNN has learned.

On Thursday, the DoDEA told employees that the letters were sent out in error due to a glitch.

if this had been the mood in 2021 we'd have 52 states and 15 SCOTUS justices right now

This might be read as dooming, but it actually gives me hope. We, as a society, *can* just all decide to call this all a load of horseshit and get rid of it. It's not impossible. There was a time before all of this, and there will be a time after it.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune rejected a Democratic offer to reopen the government and extend expiring health care subsidies for a year. Thune said he thinks the offer is an indication that Democrats are “feeling the heat.”

USA Today: "Trump administration asks Supreme Court to stop order requiring SNAP benefits be paid"

Donald Trump is now going all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court to take SNAP food benefits away from Americans in need.

California won't back down in court from supporting the tens of millions of Americans the Trump Administration seemingly wants to starve.

Look I’m just a local idiot, but from where I stand this is the worst set of political maneuvers I’ve ever seen grown adults make.
