We know the House GOP was extensively involved in January 6. We know this more because of reporting than the official investigation. talkingpointsmemo.com/feature/mark...

As a New York voter, I am sadly not counting him out yet. The latest poll shows Cuomo within 5 points of Mamdani and Sliwa voters are abandoning him to vote for Cuomo.

A friend of mine in NJ just got the news that the insurance premium for her and her husband is going up to $4,700/month. This is insane.

Trump administration tells judge it will partially fund SNAP benefits using contingency funds A federal judge ruled Friday that the Agriculture Department must disburse funding for SNAP, also known as food stamps.

NEW: The Trump Administration said it would use "all $4.65 billion in [SNAP] contingency funds, which will cover about half of each eligible household's benefits this month."

Why? Because two federal judges told him he has to.

This is why we fight in court.

At least three news outlets had photo/video stollen by DHS to make an ICE propaganda video this week. (Also a Coldplay song?)

Was your IP stolen by DHS? Get in touch!

I'm with @freedom.press and we're concerned.

Also, anyone work with content ID tools that do copyright matching at scale?

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

HISTORY REPEATS: This 1905 illustration, From the Depths by William Balfour Ker, is going viral again for a reason. Then, it captured a gilded elite dancing above the suffering of workers β€” their wealth literally built on the backs of the hungry below. Today, as Trump throws lavish Gatsby-themed parties at Mar-a-Lago and builds a $300M gilded ballroom at The White House while millions fear losing SNAP benefits and health care subsidies, the parallels are haunting.

The year is 2025. The champagne still flows, the sequins still shimmer, and the powerful still dance just not to the same tune as the rest of us.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Interesting. My husband works the polls near us, so I always vote in person because the workers are so happy to see people show up. One election, I was voter #15 in my district at about 2 pm. Yeah, that line at the Armory was insane, so I just waited until Election Day.
