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.

Republican politicians can commit all the crimes they want and victimize as many people as they want because right after they are convicted Trump pardons every single one of them. Every Republican politician is above the law and can do whatever they want. Total immunity.

The hypocrisy!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Americans have gotten more than $21 billion back in their bank accounts after being cheated and scammed by big corporations, thanks to the CFPB.

But Trump and his Administration love grifters and scammers.

So they're trying to kill the agency holding them accountable.

Screenshot from Farm Bureau article on farm bankruptcies. It shows farm bankruptcies climbing steadily 2014-2020, falling by half in 2021, & continuing to fall through 2023.

Farm bankruptcies are back in the news, so it's time to pull this chart out again.

Hey look they kept rising during Trump's first term. Then they went way down under Biden.

Now they're up again? So weird. Thanks Farm Bureau for the graphic

The shameless GOP lying about the No Kings gatherings scheduled for next Saturday reveals how deeply hostile much of the Republican Party is to “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” I look forward to our local No Kings event, and urge my fellow Americans to attend in their communities.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

Core 1A speech.

With cameras rolling, they’re sniping priests for sport.

10 days until the biggest peaceful protests in modern American history. A No Kings Day event is likely happening near you wherever you are. Please join us to show we won’t cower in response to Trump’s authoritarian takeover: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

America is in the midst of a self-inflicted economic damage, federal government shutdown, and daily humiliation on the global stage.

All within just nine months of Donald Trump returning to the White House with full GOP control of Washington.

Argentina drops their tax so China can buy all their soybeans instead of ours AND we give them $20 billion.

And our farmers will still proudly fly their Trump flags as he uses our tax dollars to keep them afloat.

Twenty One Pilots prove rock's not dead atop the 'Billboard' albums chart Rock and roll is alive and well atop the Billboard 200 albums chart this week, as Twenty One Pilots' Breach hits No. 1.

What is happening is that a thoroughly corrupt man is getting away with everything.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

We need to call it what it is: a president using government coercion to silence voices he doesn't agree with is authoritarianism, plain and simple.

It's the Orbán playbook, the Putin playbook, and now the Trump playbook. And it should alarm every American.

Stephen Colbert's Emmys acceptance speech: "I have never loved my country more desperately. God bless America. Stay strong, be brave, and if the elevator tries to bring you down, go crazy and punch a higher floor."

Anyway, I refuse to be silenced. Washington Post can fire me, but, my pen and my voice will only get sharper from here.

The Washington Post Fired Me — But My Voice Will Not Be Silenced. I spoke out against hatred and violence in America — and it cost me my job.

Some personal news:

I've been fired from the Washington Post in the aftermath of the Charlie Kirk shooting.

If we flew the American flag at half-mast for every murder of an American who deserved better, who deserved to be heard and respected and live in peace, we’d never raise the flag to its full height again.

Today in 1963, 4 young girls are killed by white racists as a bomb explodes during Sunday morning services in the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, AL: Addie Mae Collins, Cynthia Wesley, Carole Robertson & Carol Denise McNair. Hateful thoughts lead to hateful words lead to hateful actions.

My, my, my. How the tone has changed.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

They may not be competent at their jobs, but they were extremely prolific at praising Trump, which was the most important job qualification.

Our Supreme Court is a wreck, now they’re okay with racial profiling. The Court has lifted restrictions on immigration-related stops by federal agents in the Los Angeles area, which amounts to blatant racial profiling. Agents have been stopping people solely based on their appearance,
