In the most predictable development ever, Mike Johnson is not committing to hold a House vote on ACA subsidies

I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling out the GOP for pushing to slip a nationwide backdoor abortion ban into the government funding bill. This is dangerous for women’s health care. We’ve already seen the consequences in states like TX, but I guess the GOP is intent on The Handmaid’s Tale.

🚨I had a grocery list ready to go. I have to get my food delivered. I just spent 1/2 my months worth of SNAP benefits (of course it does NOT help when orange juice is ALMOST $7). But my UNDERSTANDING is that they CANNOT take back your SNAP benefits if you SPEND them. But they CAN from your account.🚨

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

the fury i feel is indescribable.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

BREAKING: The USDA tells states funds will be made available later today to pay November SNAP benefits in full.

This has not gotten much attention, but it should.

Virginia under Youngkin returned to an insanely harsh system where people convicted of any felony lose their voting rights FOR LIFE.

Dems' win this week mean they'll get to advance a constitutional amendment to end lifetime disenfranchisement.

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Even as we’re fighting to get the government reopened and SNAP benefits released—we’re here with Roadrunner Food Bank at the food distribution at the International District Library.

And, we’ll at Albuquerque High later for our community resource fair. Join us! We’ll be there 4:30 pm - 7:00 pm!

We should have updated jobs numbers today.

But Trump’s government shutdown is leaving us in the dark about our economy.

And he won’t release the already prepared jobs numbers from September.

Trump needs to release this critical data NOW.

The Trump administration has filed an emergency request with the First Circuit Court of Appeals to block U.S. District Judge John McConnell’s order requiring it to fully fund the SNAP program using alternative funding sources by today.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Scoop: Inside DHS's vast college football surveillance effort If you go to a college football game, the feds have cameras on you.

"According to documents obtained by FOIAball, the Ole Miss-Georgia matchup was one of at least two games last year where the school used a Department of Homeland Security information-sharing platform to keep a watchful eye on attendees."

Crazy reporting from @foiaball.com:

Guys…I appreciate your letting me know that the title is a Great Gatsby reference (thank you, I have read that too!) I was just driving home the point that they are in fact awful.

A family friend was telling us about what her husband shared about his experience in Broadview before he was deported back to Mexico. She's been sharing to friends and family because she's just in disbelief & horror what her husband told her. She wasn't able to talk to him until he was in Mexico.

The Wildest Democratic Wins You May Not Have Heard About Elections for school boards and public service commissions aren’t as sexy as a governor’s race, but they matter — and Democrats swept them everywhere.

i’m at damen/belle plaine in chicago’s north center neighborhood for an emergency anti-ice rally.

around 7 a.m. this morning, masked federal agents chased a preschool teacher *into* nearby rayito del sol and abducted her—in front of traumatized children, parents, and coworkers.
