I looked it up...over 48,000 of those SNAP households are in Clay Higgins' district.

That's around 126,000 of his constituents, or 16% of the entire population of LA-03.

Texas sues Tylenol for the dumbest reason Attorney General Ken Paxton beclowns himself to get Trump to endorse his Senate run

"The once-innocuous pain medication has become a symbol for misogynists of how women are evil, disobedient harlots.

"It’s also a narcissitic fixation for Trump, who has not recovered from being told, by women no less, that he is not the smartest man who ever lived."

Q: What did you mean when you said you're prepared to send 'more than the National Guard' into American cities?

TRUMP: if I want to enact a certain act, I'd be allowed to do whatever I want. The courts wouldn't get involved. Nobody would. I could send Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines -anybody I want

10 Years Ago, We Pledged To Help Haiti Rebuild. Then What Happened? Hundreds of millions in aid went to U.S. corporations and the U.S. military. A fraction went to Haitian institutions.

2020
Haitians consistently call for NGOs and them to leave, and tell people not to donate to those NGOs

Most of the aid that goes to Haiti, goes to foreign corporations and the US military not to Haitians

Another pro tip for @cnn.com guests: Remember never to say on air that Scott Jennings is lying on air and that network management is paying him to lie on air when, in fact, he is lying on air as the network pays him to do 🀣

Hegseth also says that we’re going to β€œnetwork” these groups, which is bullshit.

If he really wanted to roll up the networks, he would be interdicting these boats and exploiting them for intelligence, not destroying all of it in kinetic strikes.

White House pressed U.S. Navy officials to launch 2,000-pound live bombs instead of dummy explosives during an elaborate military demonstration for the service’s 250th anniversary celebration that Trump attended, two people familiar with planning for the event told the AP.

A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report. Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

Trump wants to steal 2 House districts in Indiana.

Will Indiana hold the line?

Right now, Trump and Vance don’t have the number of votes they need.

WATCH…

What can you do to help support the effort to stop the steal in Indiana?

An ex-Intel CEO’s mission to build a Christian AI: β€˜hasten the coming of Christ’s return’ Patrick Gelsinger, executive chairman of Gloo, has made it his mission to advance Christian principles in Silicon Valley

There is a lot going on in this sentence:

"On 17 October, Gelsinger delivered his β€œGutenberg moment” stump speech at Liberty University’s CEO Summit, which also featured Liz Truss, Michael Flynn and Dan T Cathy, the Chick-fil-A chairman, as keynote speakers."

In the first half of this year, the income of President Trump's family business soared 17-fold to $864 million, based almost entirely on new crypto ventures that have been a magnet for overseas cash, a Reuters investigation found.

Three men β€” Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos β€” now own more wealth than 165 million Americans combined.

They own the media.
They own the algorithms.
They own politicians in both parties.

The system is rigged β€” but We the People can take it back.

Democrats didn't campaign on LGBTQ rights. Trans people weren't even permitted to speak at the DNC. This is the most persistent lie about the 2024 campaign, and it keeps being pushed by grown adults who should know better.

The Strategist’s Fallacy in American politics The average American voter does not think about politics the way elite strategists and pundits do

The GOP has been extremely effective at shaping perceptions of the Democrats, claiming they support policy positions they don't actually support

If your strategy, as a Dem, for winning in 2028 *STARTS* by buying their spin and lies, then you've already lost

This nearly total retconning, by Dems themselves, of what the Democratic Party was actually doing between 2017 and 2024 is becoming really pervasive (esp in policy world) and I honestly don't have a good explanation for why the party is treating the babies (ARP, BIL, IRA) as if they're the bathwater
