Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

I think it was tearing down part of the White House. That was such a visceral gut punch. No planning. No warning.

And is Hamas still assassinating civilians?
Not defending Israel, but the one-sided condemnation is misinformation.

If you have the means and the ability, I would like to strongly suggest that you donate to Meals on Wheels, and your local food bank(s) right now, and for Thanksgiving, and in lieu of buying shit you don't need and others don't want for Christmas.
Please consider, if you are able.

Whoever decided to have the military saunter past the president with the band playing Fortunate Son in the birthday parade deserves a medal too.

Kudos to the news orgs that walked out of the pentagon. It’s long overdue for the msm to stop enabling the 🤡-show. It’s a 24/7 operation with the cabinet secretaries competing to put on the best show. Pepper-bomb the protesters. Assemble the generals. Indict the enemies. Abuse everyone.

If I remember correctly, constitutional amendments don’t have to originate in Congress. Let’s get some going!
End lifetime tenure. Enlarge the court. Allow recall elections at the federal level. Put an end to the political bribery of Citizens United.

It’s clear the feds won’t stop this. Can they be arrested and brought up on state charges for criminal assault?

This administration is willing to inflict maximum pain on anyone that doesn’t comply with their purity test for what constitutes a “Real American“. At this point we’re all human shields and they don’t care who gets hurt.

When you talk about these increases, make it personal. If you’re on Georgia Access your rates will more than double. If you’re on KYNect your rates…
People don’t necessarily realize these changes will impact them.

Not sure why any foreigner would risk coming here. I’m shocked that the upcoming World Cup and the Olympics haven’t been moved. There is simply no guarantee that everyone will be given entry or treated appropriately.

So Brian Kilmeade can call for the homeless to be executed and keep his job, but you’re fired for basically saying we reap what we sow. Make it make sense.

Absolutely. They pay Dowd to have an opinion. What he said wasn’t wrong. Kirk’s career was based on racism, misogyny, and demonizing the gay and trans community, and higher education. It’s meant to inflame. Dowd’s comment wasn’t inflammatory. It was honest.

Encouraging that they’re expanding habitat. Apparently they’ve been dying out elsewhere. I read that we would be the last generation to see them.

The plan is to bleed the opposition dry. Instead of one case to finance, there’s now at least 50. And if the next court upholds a decision, that doesn’t mean the other 49 cases are also approved. Those need to continue litigating as well. Are the Supremes litigating each case separately as well?
