Breaking on MS NOW:

The full grand jury never reviewed the indictment it handed up against Comey.

Prosecutors said, instead of presenting a new indictment after the grand jury declined to approve one of the counts, Halligan simply brought an altered version for the grand jury's foreperson to sign.

Hello @support.bsky.team

I heard from Sarah Kendzior @sarahkendzior.bsky.social that her account was suspended.

Can you please look into this and reinstate her account? She’s a published author and scholar on authoritarianism. Her presence here is valuable.

Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says β€˜yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: β€œHow long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: β€œIt’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Congress has provided a contingency plan for SNAP to keep the program going for years in case of a shut down. The USDA sneakily took the plan down. Now blue states are suing to continue benefits for their constituents.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Nearly half of those who receive SNAP benefits are employed. Most who don’t work are older adults, have disabilities, or are busy providing care for others. The impending loss of SNAP benefits is exposing what happens when employers aren’t paying workers a living wage.
