One of my students asked to take home an extra breakfast for her mom and an extra lunch for her dad, in case you’re wondering how the loss of SNAP benefits is affecting kids.

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. People yelled as vehicles honked their horn — a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area — and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, “You hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

someone invited people magazine to the kitchen and they brought their own knives

Thank you Michael Che for speaking the truth.

Trump's asinine tariff policy, erratic behavior, and mass firings of patriotic public servants have crushed families, skyrocketed the cost of living, and produced uncertainty for businesses both large and small, as he destroys at lightning speed the economy Biden had rebuilt.

Would there be untold ecological disruptions from kangaroos coming to the Americas as an invasive species? Yes.

Would it maybe be the best thing ever? Also yes.

Imagine if @govbilllee cared as much as this NC5 reporter does

This is an incredible LIE being told by the guy that manages the agency that oversees the ACA. It's obscene how easily, how frequently and how dramatically these Trump folks lie to us.

✅Fact check from the extremely reliable @kff.org (& no, KFF did not retract this.)

So that Mellon guy who gives away cash from his inheritance doesn’t have any left for SNAP?

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Take them down.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

NEVER FORGET: In July 2025, the GOP passed the BBB with $75B in additional, multi-year funding to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

BUT the GOP Congress will NOT negotiate to EXTEND ACA Subsidies for 20M+ Americans for $32B. #GOPPriorities

Everyone should be listening to Heather.

PAYCHECK $0.00

A single dad holding back tears on national TV because his federal paycheck can’t cover food and rent, while Trump’s building a $350 million ballroom at the White House.

Is America great yet?

This
Is
Fucking
Illegal

In Chicago, an ICE Goon violently shoved a woman to the ground near a moving van.

Trump’s un-functioning government just increased the national debt $1T in two months. Inflation is up, now at 3%

Dems are trying to save tax credits for OUR healthcare, while the GOP extended tax credits for THEIR rich

The GOP House just took another week of vacay🤬

Republican Barry Goldwater predicted years ago that someday there would be a dictator like Trump as president.
Watch:

Good morning and happy Saturday to everyone. Anyone who will execute people at sea, do a flyover as victims speak out, send troops into cities he feels threatened by, deport people to third-country prisons, or illegally fire members of agencies ... will do anything to stay in power. Anything. 🚫👑

Yes to this! And you go, dog walker! 👏👏🔥

Exactly this. Every damn day.

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

🚨USPS mail carrier terrorized by ICE. A federal worker carrying mail over his shoulder suspected of being an “illegal immigrant? The worst of the worst?” No. He was existing while black. 1/2

You might have seen these young U.S. citizens on Fox describing what ICE and the FBI did to them and their mom last weekend at a family event in Idaho.

If they had blond hair and blue eyes.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

This is not a joke. It actually happened.

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed
