House Democrats Respond to Trump's Illegal SNAP Cuts YouTube video by House Democrats

Let’s be clear: The Trump Administration has the resources and the legal authority to fully fund SNAP benefits. Not only do they have the ability, but they have also been ordered by a court to do so. And they are still choosing not to.

My subtle anti-Trump kit arrived today.

THIS is how you reject a faulty premise. Don’t rush past the facts to argue with a straw man. Remind everyone of the facts first!

Where are you Michigan?

What about The Parable of the Sower? A more realistic view of what may happen here. What about Prophet Song? A book that depicts maybe 2 years in the future. The point is there is more out there that is more relevant then 1984.

YouTube video by Sen. Elissa Slotkin Intel Briefing: Shutdown update, health care stories from Michiganders and Trump's secret wars

In our Intel Briefing this week:

An update on the govt shutdown and the stories I'm getting from Michiganders on the health care premium increases they’re being told about.

I go deep on Trump's playbook to declare secret wars against secret enemies and label Americans as domestic terrorists.

I feel like this photo of masked, armed men pepper spraying a pastor protecting his community is going to be a defining picture of this moment in America for a long, long time.

Barbie Anderson is trying to conserve the milk her three young children drink in case she doesn’t get her WIC benefits on October 15 as scheduled.

Disgusting

Most of the power authoritarians have is freely given. We should not comply with them in advance.

Trump is far weaker than he looks. So is the GOP. We should draw them out, drain them at every opportunity, and fight for people’s wellbeing at every turn.

We have been sent here to fight for people.

Jimmy Kimmel Returns: ABC Ends Suspension Starting Tuesday Jimmy Kimmel will return to late night on Tuesday

"Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that."

Looking forward to seeing Jimmy back on the air.

David Letterman on Jimmy Kimmel’s suspension:
“You can’t go around firing somebody because you’re fearful, or because you’re trying to suck up to an authoritarian— a criminal—administration in the Oval Office.

This is what courage looks like.

Newsom: "He doesn't play by a different set of rules. He doesn't believe in the rules. As a consequence, we need to disabuse ourselves of the way things have been done. It's not enough to just hold hands, have a candlelight vigil, talk about way the world should be...we have got to meet fire w/fire"

I listened to that all through college in the 80s. Great prog rock.

When I was little, the U.S. military came to our home at gunpoint and took me and my family away. We were imprisoned for years in barbed wire camps simply because we were Japanese American. I have spent my life telling that story, hoping it would never be repeated.
