With a “WOW!,” President Trump posts a claim about DOGE and “royalties linked to Obamacare” that originated on a satirical website. That site’s own About section reads: “Everything on this website is fiction… If you believe that it is real, you should have your head examined.”

The Big Beautiful Bill has a SNAP Poison Pill How states will get the blame for massive cuts to food stamps

The Trump admin fucking up state administrative capacity to provide SNAP benefits is not just a feature of the shutdown. This is their long-term plan to reduce SNAP.

I’ve been learning a lot about football lately because it’s one of the only topics my MAGA dad who has stage 4 cancer and I can discuss without him losing his shit. I’ve never been into sports, but I’ve learned to appreciate how it can bring people together.

Shit like this leads to violence against women. This puts this idea in men’s heads that women are a type of robot or servant whose sole purpose is to validate you. When they are confronted w/the reality that we are human beings with our own opinions, things can go south.

One thing that strikes me is just how fake all of our problems related to government are

The filibuster isn't in the Constitution, and every single Framer would be apoplectic that it exists.

The government shutdown was invented in 1980

The 9-justices limit was invented to stop the New Deal

Claim: My uncle says Mamdani will abolish the entire NYPD. True: Your uncle does say that.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

"When I picked up my granddaughter from the federal agents, she had a dirty diaper, a bruise on her face, and was developing a rash. She was exhausted and cried… My heart aches knowing this could happen to others, to my kids, or even me, despite being U.S. citizens.”

Yeah but I love that he’s unrelenting in his hate of the filibuster, which really is a scourge.

My MAGA dad told me the reason why healthcare is so expensive in the US is bc of Medicare/Medicaid. 😂

This video is making me start to reconsider the whole lizard people theory. Maybe there’s something to it …

How long til SCOTUS overturns this?

Immigration Agents Arrest Man in L.A. Raid and Drive Off With His Toddler The child was later reunited with her grandmother, but the episode alarmed immigrant rights groups. The father, a U.S. citizen, faces a gun possession charge.

After federal agents descended on a Home Depot parking lot in Los Angeles this week, they arrested a U.S. citizen they said attacked them — and then drove off with the man’s toddler. Advocates say it underscores how agents have pushed legal boundaries across the U.S.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.

They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

Trump Wines Sold At Coast Guard Stores On Federal Property Exchanges in Washington, D.C., and Virginia have stocked Trump-branded wine and cider, allowing his family’s business to earn revenue from sales on federal property.

During the first Trump administration, selling Trump Wines on federal property would have been a scandal (as it should be).

But this time around, it’s just yet another piece of a corruption tidal wave. 🧵

with success like that, one wonders why she even stayed in congress. but i guess it shows just how committed she was to public service

Trump is appealing the judicial order to pay full SNAP benefits by tomorrow.

He’s spending tax payer dollars going back to court to try and avoid giving folks money they are legally owed.

He’s starving 42 million people because to him they are leverage.

It’s enraging.

Good Lord, what is wrong with RFK‘s voice/breathing. I know throat cancer patients who sound healthier than he does.

It’s amazing how starved we are for this kind of leadership.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have just authorized a massive strike.

Union Starbucks baristas voted to authorize the strike by 92%.

Now baristas in over 25 cities could launch an unfair labor practice strike on Thursday, November 13th.

That’s what I thought. Very chilling terminology. It assumes the default is imprisoning people who are undergoing a civil court proceeding. Maybe it should also be the new default for CEOs of companies undergoing civil proceedings over unsafe working conditions or wage theft.

YouTube Quietly Erased More Than 700 Videos Documenting Israeli Human Rights Violations The tech giant deleted the accounts of three prominent Palestinian human rights groups — a capitulation to Trump sanctions.

“The move came in response to a U.S. government campaign to stifle accountability for alleged Israeli war crimes against Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank”

Actually I would suggest either going to journalism school with an emphasis is video, developing excellent writing skills, and studying actual policy. Also learn Spanish. The vaaasst majority of jobs “in politics” are roles other than the person talking at the podium.

That was pretty artful, framing herself as a victim, but in the same way as her interviewers. It’s funny how they can always find a way to make the media the enemy, even of people in the media. 😂
