"Hi, I'm Sandwich Guy. The only thing I'm guilty of is enjoying this fresh, cold, delicious, turkey-filled... cold-cut combo from Subway. I eat three every day to help keep me strong!"

Not for nothing, but I still think the president admitting on 60 Minutes that he has no idea who the hell he's pardoning should be the biggest story in America today.

And yet... the media has barely covered it.

A 34-year-old as a politician: My god he's like a baby. It's like they just elected an infant to be their mayor.

A 34-year-old as an athlete: You have to admire the bravery of him attempting that dunk, knowing full well the grim reaper is right behind him.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Thank you for calling out the lies & sharing the facts. Did anyone journalists challenge her at the presser?

Here is a comprehensive list of why people on SNAP, are on SNAP:
1. They need food assistance.

Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

i cannot believe that “mamdani calls a close adult relative an ‘aunt’ even if they are not literally their parent’s sister” is what counts as a “scandal” these days

So why is the board making statements like he helped boost their sales +1M and suggesting Musk receive a $1T bonus?!

This. Man. Doesn’t. Need. More. Money.

Make it make sense

Food bank director: “for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

This is a DC area food bank that has helped laid off and unpaid government workers. They need help. If you have a few bucks to spare consider this charity. www.capitalareafoodbank.org?utm_referrer...

Here's a photo of my friend and colleague, Jorge Bautista, getting shot in the face with a flashbang grenade. The ICE Agent is so afraid of Jorge (who was posing no threat) that he has wet himself. Please share this photo. Everyone needs to know what cowards ICE agents are.

Laying plain the lies of the Speaker of the House.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

More military families turning to food banks as government shutdown wears on Armed Services YMCA food banks are seeing a 30%-75% surge in demand across the country as the government shutdown continues.

Food pantry visits by military families are up over 30% since the #TrumpShutdown began. Our troops defend our country. They shouldn't have to worry about feeding their families because of Trump's political games. Fund our government. Pay our troops.

This Shit Has Got to Stop Now.

"Muslim Americans have a long and proud history of service to this country, and when we allow people like Mr. Cuomo to endorse such a racist ideology, we dishonor not only Muslims Americans but the central idea of what we want America to be."

A not insignificant number of people knew the demolition was coming, including people at the White House Historical Association, and did nothing to stop it.

By my admittedly rough math, that would fund the U.S. military for about an hour and eighteen minutes

I've got a newsletter that goes out 5 days a week, is free on Fridays, and has subscription plans starting as low as $1.01 per month. PLEASE support independent journalism. We're out here with few resources doing our best to keep media honest.

"The fact that Trump is adorning his office with gold and doubling his net worth is all the proof you need that he was perfectly content to say whatever he needed to say on the campaign trail to manipulate his fans. But now that he's got what he needs from them, he's done helping them."

basically all this shit is Roberts' fault, because the immunity made Trump feel like he could break the law as much as he wants without consequences. bsky.app/profile/jayw...

The way I’d explain this to students was always “the cloud is just someone else’s computer”

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

45 yrs of US history, in 25 words:

It's not "budgetary Twister," it's willfully violating Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 of the Constitution.

Just because President Trump chooses to ignore Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 does not mean that the NYT should pretend Article I, Section 9, Clause 7 does not exist.

This photo, taken on April 1, 1941, shows First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt sitting in front of a fireplace, accompanied by her staffers Malvina Thompson and Edith Helm at the White House in Washington, D.C.

The East Wing was where Eleanor Roosevelt welcomed all visitors to the White House.

That must have kept this administration up nights until they could knock it down. To build a ballroom we can't afford, during a shutdown, for a president who just posted himself dropping shit on the country.

🚨 ALERT 🚨 It is now officially babies in tiny jackets with ears on the hoods season. Please be on the lookout for babies in tiny jackets with ears on the hoods at all times.

the Muppets have been real quiet since the Louvre heist

Oct. 15, 2025 PENTAGON PRESS ASSOCIATION STATEMENT Today, the Defense Department confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America. It did this because reporters would not sign onto a new media policy over its implicit threat of criminalizing national security reporting and exposing those who sign it to potential prosecution. The Pentagon Press Association's members are still committed to reporting on the U.S. military. But make no mistake, today, Oct. 15, 2025 is a dark day for press freedom that raises concerns about a weakening U.S. commitment to transparency in governance, to public accountability at the Pentagon and to free speech for all. PPA

“The Defense Department has confiscated the badges of the Pentagon reporters from virtually every major media organization in America,” the Pentagon Press Association said

Yes, and…

What I notice upon first glance at this chart is that the group with the largest increase in votes for Trump from 2020 to 2024 *were* voters from large urban areas.

There is absolutely a divide in this country. But we can’t ignore the shifts within those subsets, either.
