SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

On this day 225 years ago, John Adams moved into the still-not-quite-complete White House, becoming the first president to occupy it. His blessing was carved into the State Dining Room mantel in 1945: "May none but Honest and Wise Men ever rule under This Roof.”

Republicans control the House.
Republicans control the Senate.
Republicans control the White House.

This is their government shutdown.

On October 18th, millions of brave Americans will stand up and peacefully protest against the authoritarian disease metastasizing under Donald Trump.

No Thrones. No Crowns. No Kings. @gtconway.bsky.social

Hey @jaketapper.bsky.social, I'm no expert on cognitive illnesses, but it feels a bit detached from reality for a sitting POTUS to forget that he was in power during an attack on the U.S. Capitol, doesn't it? Do you know anyone in journalism with experience covering dementia-like symptoms?

Their complaints that Dems oppose the “rural hospital fund” are so hilarious.

Kind of like: “I’m going to burn down your house and give you a chocolate chip cookie instead.”

“That sounds terrible.”

“What you don’t like chocolate chip cookies!?”

@sanders.senate.gov: "No, Speaker Johnson, the #NoKings Rally on October 18th is not a 'hate America' rally. ... It’s a rally of millions of people who believe in American freedom and are not going to allow you and President Trump to turn us into an authoritarian country."

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

Vicious authoritarianism built on a pretext of shameless lies under the cover of scolding Christianity.

The Attorney General of the United States has set a new low for this committee.

Johnson and Lauer are stalling.

If Grijalva isn’t sworn in, it gives them time to pressure one of the 4 Republicans who signed the discharge petition to flip.

The reason they’re working this hard to shield the Epstein files is because Trump’s name is all over them.

Partisan gerrymanders may be legal, but only because SCOTUS said so. They are anti-democratic measures used by a party that fears losing power to hold onto control, a mechanism that lets parties choose their voters instead of letting voters choose who will represent them.

Trump didn’t send his criminal defense lawyer to hook up Ghislaine Maxwell with a minimum security cushy Club Fed because he was innocent.

Donald Trump’s plan is one that’s been repeated over and over again by dictators across history — inciting the local population before sending disrupters.

That’s how you convert a democracy into something else.

Illinois won’t fall for this ploy.

The crazy part is how obvious it all is, and how dumb they think we all are.

🚨BREAKING: Donald Trump announces he will issue an unconstitutional and illegal executive order purporting to ban mail-in voting and certain voting equipment for the 2026 midterm election.

Such an effort would violate the Constitution and is a major step to prevent free and fair elections.

Trump Plans To Steal the Midterms Trump intends to undo the will of the voters in next year’s midterm elections. But there’s still time and a way to stop him.

Trump and the GOP aren’t planning to steal the 2026 midterms using voting machines—they’re rigging the system itself. From gerrymanders to power grabs, the strategy is already underway.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%.
