ICYMI — They lied about why they assaulted the WGN producer (then rammed a car for no reason)

Starting today, 2.4M Americans, including kids, lose SNAP food benefits. Stores like Freshly’s Market in Mississippi that serve low-income communities expect a 35–45% drop in sales.

Children will go hungry & employees at Freshly's lose jobs.

Welcome to trickle-down starvation.

"The Trump administration’s broad threats to science—climate science especially—go far beyond the potential closure of the Mauna Loa Observatory... What would be lost is staggering...The whole world will pay a price for this recalcitrance, not least America."

To put it nicely, I don’t give a fuck what the average layman has to say about climate change or its effect on air turbulence.

Alan Cumming on bathroom bills:

Is this meant to imply that somehow these camps are intended to preserve human life? Because that certainly isn’t the impression I’m getting. Those lives are being very intentionally and publicly tossed away. We should call the camps what they are.

Trump is a FASCIST with Dementia. Yet corporate media will not use either word to describe him.

To the entirety of the Republican Party: be it ordained that your first day in hell lasts 10,000 lifetimes and may it be the shortest fucking day you all ever spend there. The end.

You can cancel the 4th of July; we are no longer free. If there are any rights that the Republicans haven’t gleefully stripped from us, it’s only because they haven’t figured out how.

A VERY LARGE DOOR HAS BEEN OPENED FOR YOU TO STEP INTO. THAT WAS DONE BY US.

For nearly a decade, since Election Day 2016, the media and politicians have had a choice: Recognize that we were in a crisis like no other in our lifetimes, or pretend that we aren't. Nearly all politicians, and too many in the media, have chosen the latter.

BREAKING: ICE has ‘kidnapped 6 roofers’ in South Florida, abandoning the roofing truck by the road and telling no one.
Locals say those men have no criminal records, have families here and are living in America legally with valid work permits.THIS is why people are protesting…

Don’t know how else to say it: you should care about other people, because you are other people.

not the main issue here but i'd really appreciate it if democratic politicians spoke out in support of big-city life and culture with the same energy and reverence that all politicians have for small towns

los angeles is "real america" and so are all the other big cities the president hates

Direct File is 'beloved by its users,' internal IRS report says The IRS is reportedly ending the Direct File, but a report obtained via the Freedom of Information Act says that 94% of users rated their experience as “excellent” or “above average.”

Got my hands on an internal IRS report on how Direct File went this season. TLDR: pretty well. 94% of users said their experience was excellent or above average.

That said, the IRS is reportedly killing the free tax filing service.

Yeah, every time I see Bill Kristol acting surprised about where all this came from, I want to punch him in the face.

I gotta say, either he has some hardcore dementia or some massive fucking balls to pretend he wasn't one of the cheerleaders of all this shit during his entire pre-Trump career.
