im sorry you cant have food but we gave all our money to one guy who “invented” 2 day shipping and another thats promising robot butlers so you can see how our hands are tied

“A screenshot of a webpage from fns.usda.gov showing a warning message in a brown box. The message claims Senate Democrats voted 12 times not to fund the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), states there will be no benefits issued November 1, and accuses them of holding out for healthcare for illegal immigrants and gender-related procedures. The USDA Food and Nutrition Service logo appears at the bottom, along with a blue ‘Menu’ button.”

The official USDA site is blaming trans people for SNAP benefits expiring.

Congress is rapidly proving itself irrelevant, and the only person who benefits from that is Donald Trump.

Man...this guy played on SO many dates, lived and breathed jazz, was NEVER satisfied to be one of the all-time greats but always kept looking for the next step up & out & into the music...we will not see the likes of Jack DeJohnette again soon. Deep gratitude for a lifetime of dedication to the art

Hunger, Bribes and Sociopathy As food assistance runs out and a billionaire offers money for troops, Trump dances in Malaysia

“While Trump could be seen dancing like a fool on a red carpet in Kuala Lumpur over the weekend, actual patriots at food banks and other grassroots organizations were bracing to serve large populations in need.”

Let this sink in…

“At least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.”

📌 The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days.

His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest.

If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara.

It’s time to #FreeMario now!

Tylenol has just released a study connecting Donald Trump with adultery, lying, rape, and pedophilia.

I seem to recall the right storming the Capitol on January 6th and beating police officers with the U.S. flag.

So fed up with Republicans and their sick firearm fetish and their useless, performative prayers after each mass shooting they facilitated.

DJT: “I have the right to do anything I want to do. I’m the President of the United States.”

This would have been considered a pretty shocking statement under any other circumstances.

Republicans:

Mass shootings: “it’s the price of freedom. Send thoughts and prayers”

Homelessness: “Deploy the National Guard”

Draft of White House Report Suggests Kennedy Won’t Push Strict Pesticide Regulations

Gosh, turns out the things repeatedly cited for "RFK Jr makes some good points" were all bullshit, he's not doing squat about pesticides nor ultraprocessed foods, nor will he make fresh food more accessible and affordable.

Huge surprise from a sociopathic con artist in a GOP admin, I know.

The International Criminal Court issues an arrest warrant for Putin The ICC has issued warrants for the Russian president and his children's rights commissioner for alleged war crimes involving accusations that Russia has forcibly taken Ukrainian children.

Trump and Putin are meeting on US soil because a country lawless enough not to arrest Trump is lawless enough not to arrest Putin.

🚨 The DeVos family is building a new political war machine, fronted by washed-up Trumpers like Shane Hernandez and Ronna McDaniel, and backed by a mountain of billionaire cash. Their plan? Flood the state with dark money and flip Michigan red in 2026.

This isn’t democracy; it’s oligarchy in action.

Cult of personality

Better yet, we'll happily engrave "Never got the therapy he so desperately needed" on your gravestone, Elon.

And there you have it.

They have nothing but hatred, fear and malice.

The Founders anticipated the possibility of a corrupt criminal president.

What they did not anticipate is that Congress would willingly hand over so much of their Constitutional authority to him. They thought people ambitious enough to win Congressional seats would jealously guard their own power.

Yesterday I shared w/ my students their rights should ICE come on campus. "Of course," I said, "that's just the law." Here's a woman who knew her rights. They protected her twice, because she knew they needed a warrant. The third time ICE came, the agent said, "“I don’t need to show you the order."

Judge orders White House ban on AP lifted U.S. District Judge Trevor N. McFadden said the Associated Press is likely to win its lawsuit on First Amendment grounds.

“The judge got it right,” @seth-stern.bsky.social told @washingtonpost.com about yesterday's order lifting Trump's ban on the AP, “but it should never have taken this long.”

America's academic brain drain has begun As the Trump administration targets universities and teachers, educators are eying greener academic pastures overseas — and other nations are taking notice

The Administration is waging war on our nation’s universities. JD Vance calls them the”enemy.” Our universities are the envy of the world and spawn innovation that boosts our economy and country.

Former HHS Secretary: ‘I cannot tell you how dangerous’ RFK Jr. would be at Department of Health and Human Services Former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius breaks down the drastic effects of RFK Jr. leading the Department of Health and Human Services, particularly for immunocompromised…

Former HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius on the potential impact of RFK Jr.: "Putting up fake science against real science, and saying to people, ‘Just make up your own minds.’ I think could lead to disaster."

South Carolina is on fire.

Always empathetic Donald Trump responds by golfing.

The image is a screenshot of a post on X by a user named Chicano Marine (@elchicanomarine ), with Mexican and U.S. flag emojis. The post reads: "Ahh… WE have hit the disappearing Union leaders phase of authoritarianism." Below this, there is an image with the text: "ICE detains farmworker union leader Lelo Juarez Zeferino." The image shows a person in a denim shirt against a background split between blue and yellow colors.

Our immigration policies should not be wielded as union busting, political cudgels. Or as ways to suppress freedom of speech or assembly.
