WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

A tweet from Andrew Holness, Prime Minister of Jamaica, says: “Our country has been ravaged by Hurricane Melissa but we will rebuild and we will do so even better than before.” He addresses Jamaicans directly, encouraging hope and promising rapid mobilization for relief and recovery efforts. Below the text is a CNN/Today broadcast screenshot showing Holness speaking remotely with “Tracking Hurricane Melissa” and “Breaking News” banners on screen.

Please keep the people of Jamaica in your thoughts and hearts today. And may the world come together in this moment of devastation to come to their aid.

...The greatest nations are defined by how they treat their weakest inhabitants...

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️

Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you.

Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No.

As SNAP benefits come under threat, a Detroit farmer is stepping up to help fill the void The federal shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Urban farmers like Travis Peters are stepping up to ensure their communities can eat.

'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

The fact that Republicans get upset about tearing down confederate monuments, but not demolishing the White House, says a lot.

UPDATE: Trump is freaking out about the (very effective) anti-tariffs ad Canada 🇨🇦 is running in 🇺🇸 (during baseball playoffs), saying trade negotiations are now “terminated” — so here it is again 👇🏽

Reagan’s audio is, of course, VERY REAL. He is lying: www.youtube.com/shorts/Mj6N-...

Wait till MAGA realizes SNAP and food stamps are the same thing.

Their heads are going to explode like when they found out the ACA and Obamacare are the same.

This is such a great callout…

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

If not, you’re at the wrong church.

You need to see this…

Just so we’re all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the People’s House.

Pardoned Capitol rioter charged with threatening to kill Hakeem Jeffries at NYC event this week A pardoned Capitol rioter was arrested last weekend for allegedly threatening to kill the top House Democrat.

It looks even worse by video 😢

Seems like a reasonable request

So no terrorism then?

😍 Boston, you are beautiful. #NoKings

Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

Finally, some common sense from Oklahoma education.

Ryan Walters turned classrooms into culture war battlegrounds. Reversing his Bible mandate isn’t “anti-religion,” it’s accepting the fact that the Bible is not a history book!

Schools should teach, not preach.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.

Pay attention and act!

A tweet by Robert Reich reads: “The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.
