The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary β€œRovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Trump’s trying to intimidate voters by sending the DOJ to CA to β€œmonitor” the election.

Here’s the thingβ€”over 5.9 million ballots have already been returned in the Prop 50 special election. Most folks, like myself, are dropping theirs off and couldn’t care less about the scare tactics. #YesOnProp50

If you can, drop it off directly to your county election office or other official polling place rather than just a drop box to minimize the risk of shenanigans.

Also sign up for ballot tracking.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.

House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025 Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.

Technically they are not even my cats they have just convinced theirselves that they are because their owner doesn't feed them as often as I do....I fully admit I created this monster.

Honestly, anyone complaining about what people on food stamps buy probably has never had to rely on food stamps.

Jokes on you, they tipped those dancers in food when they were done.

They just told them to open their mouths as Trump and Rubio threw spoonfuls of caviar at them.

Trickle down home economics.

Frankly it would be unwatchably boring.

It would just be, to paraphrase John Oliver, hours of watching a millionaire in a button down deciding whether or not to throw a ball.

100% the cat will be on the roof meowing at my window at the crack of dawn.

Don't ask why she has decided that is better then meowing at my bedroom door.

That's an insult to potatoes.

A potato has the ability to power a clock, I doubt Trump's brain can even clear that low bar.

I'm pretty worried when they turn their attention to state legalized cannabis businesses. Will they go in guns blazing ready to murder some veterans?

I caution you from using such definitive language, because it most assuredly can get stupider.

Has Barron Trump launched an OnlyFans called BarrIt? Not YET...

That's just one way it could be even dumber.

Can't wait to lease my Lex Luther-owned space pod and receive my Prime oxygen ration, hoping the subscription rates on air don't go up again. It's so convenient; it just pipes right into the pod. Or, you know, not.

Just saying for those not aware, but it being bigger then Hempfest pretty much means it's the biggest event in Seattle ever.

Seattle loves its hemp but hates kings even more.

Yea, Bush withdrew the US, which is why I think the options for justice seem limited.

That SCOTUS immunity decision only applies to US Federal laws, because that is all SCOTUS can impact (not state, military, maritime, or international law).

The UN/ICC would be the appropriate venue but they have virtually no enforcement powers.
