U.S. hits $38 trillion in debt, after the fastest accumulation of $1 trillion outside of the pandemic This rapid debt accumulation is the fastest outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the debt having reached $37 trillion in August.

We are $38 trillion in debt, millions are about to go hungry, and he's busy building himself a gilded ballroom.

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.


BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

They literally don't care. It's been said out loud for more than a decade.

The future is looking kinda dumb if we're being honest.

Or literally anything

Imagine believing Republicans about reality. It's baffling.

IMO democracy becomes impossible in the absence of any social or political norms against lying.

But hey, sometimes management of things literally doesn't care. Supporters have said this for LITERALLY years. This is absolutely dumb that they're considering leaving town. But hey, go put up a Philly stadium near the airport or whatever at this rate. What a disgrace.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Your annual reminder that US streets and vehicles are generally not designed to keep pedestrians, especially small ones, safe.

So wonderful Halloween is the most likely day you’ll kill a child with your car, and someone will kill a child you care about with theirs.

Tried to reorder tea from a French company that we really like, and not only will they no longer ship to the U.S., if you try to enter a U.S. address, it returns an "invalid country" error message.

Which ... yeah.

Two Die in NYC Basements as Squall Brings Massive Rain Burst to City Two men, one in Central Brooklyn and another in Upper Manhattan, were found dead in flooded areas after intense rain arrived late on Thursday.

I’m heartbroken to learn that two New Yorkers have drowned as a result of today’s torrential rain and flooding. Their families and loved ones are in my thoughts tonight.

This kind of sudden and intense rain has become the new normal—and our infrastructure isn’t prepared for it.

Zohran with his hand on his chest leaning into the passenger side window of a taxi, talking with the driver.

Zohran extending his hand to shake hands with a taxi driver through the window.

An airport worker showing Zohran something on his phone, both are smiling.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

I bought some in central America and had the same thing at LAX, it was great. The handler was literally excited about what I had. So random.

the people watching videos of long lines of cars at food bank events asking “why do people with ‘nice’ cars get free food” need to look inward and shut the fuck up

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

@DineshDSouza In a career spanning 40 years, I have never encountered this type of rhetoric. The Right never used to talk like this. So who on our side has legitimized this type of vile degradation? It’s a question worth thinking about.

@bethanyshondark This is a day of clarity. Truly a turning point moment. When people tell you who they are, believe them. I’ll certainly never forget it.

What is this with these people suddenly realizing the crowd they they hang out with are who they always said they were.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

This might be the best line from a courtroom since "I'm... I'm not a cat"

TOASTED. Bagels & Coffee says it has received nearly $25,000 in donations in the last 24 hours since announcing the "neighbor's tab" to provide breakfast to those impacted by the SNAP benefits cliff on Nov. 1, no questions asked, at its U-District, South Lake Union and Bellevue locations.

Look, if you run for government and aren't on Trump team you are literally physically assaulted.

This needs to end. For good.

Indicting Democratic candidates on transparently pretextual charges is the latest sign that things are getting very bad.

I think that's what it is but my landlord had it before that software. 🤷 Either way posting a fee is dumb without a card.

Vote Katie!

Opinion | $149.57 Is Going to Have to Feed My Family Indefinitely I rely on SNAP benefits. That requires constant trade-offs.

In @nytopinion.nytimes.com

“Conversations around SNAP benefits are often fraught, dominated by the simplistic refrain that recipients should ‘get a job,’” Elizabeth Austin writes in a guest essay. “My experience illustrates why this response misses the mark.”

This is genuinely a huge waste of time, effort, and budget.

I want them to sue him so fucking hard that they end up owning the letters "RFK".

Oh boy

Maybe they would move because people speak more

nevermind. Shut up you jerk.
