Disgusting. You engaged in political gamesmanship using them as pawns knowing they would get harmed and now you question *their* patriotism because some of them aren't wealthy like you and didn't want to work a high stress job for no pay?

German Food Banks Feed 37,000 US Soldiers US soldiers stationed in Germany and civilian employees of the US armed forces are not receiving any salary or other payments. German authorities are compensating the civil employees, but not soldiers

US soldiers stationed in Germany and civilian employees of the US armed forces are not receiving any salary or other payments.

They are being fed by food banks and charities in Germany.

@reuters.com also just reported that US military base workers in Italy are being fed by charity too.

What to know about the nationwide FAA-mandated flight reductions The FAA has ordered a 4% reduction in operations at 40 major airports starting Friday, which will ramp up to 10% by Nov. 14.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants air traffic controllers who are not being paid to "show up because it's their job." How about Congressional Republicans show up and do their job by ensuring all federal workers are paid, travelers are safe, and our healthcare is protected? seiu.co/482c2SH

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Democrats make a new offer to end the shutdown, but Republicans aren't buying it The offer, crafted by Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., and championed by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, would also extend expiring health care subsidies for one year.

idk who needs to hear this but the President of the United States of America is APPEALING a judges order forcing him to fully fund SNAP.
Yes — DJT is appealing a ruling telling him to NOT starve his own people. Let that simmer.

From Lawrence O'Donnell: SCOTUS heard oral arguments on the Tariffs. The Regime lawyer admitted that Tariffs are taxes that WE THE PEOPLE pay and not the counties and that Congress has the authority to regulate Tariffs not the President. There is a good chance for them to rule against the Tariffs.

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July?

Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

NORAH O'DONNELL: Looked at this, the government at the time said that C.Z. had caused "significant harm to U.S. national security", essentially by allowing terrorist groups like Hamas to move millions of dollars around. Why did you pardon him? PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: Okay, are you ready? I don't know who he is. I know he got a four-month sentence or something like that. And I heard it was a Biden witch hunt. And what I wanna do is see crypto, 'cause if we don't do it it's gonna go to China, it's gonna go to-- this is no different to me than AI. My sons are involved in crypto much more than I-- me. I-- I know very little about it, other than one thing. It's a huge industry. And if we're not gonna be the head of it, China, Japan, or someplace else is. So I am behind it 100%. This man was, in my opinion, from what I was told, this is, you know, a four-month sentence. But this man was treated really badly by the Biden administration. And he was given a jail term. He's highly respected.

The full CBS interview with Trump about the pardon of Binance's Changpeng Zhao is shocking. "Why did you pardon him?" "I have no idea who he is. I was told that he was a victim ... They sent him to jail and they really set him up. That's my opinion. I was told about it."

people like this get security details to make themselves feel important

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

THIS! 1000%

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?

What he said: 💯 🎯

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

Trump’s Latest Milestone: Forcing 211,000 People Out Of Their Federal Jobs “The performance of our government across the board is being diminished,” warned Max Stier, CEO of Partnership for Public Service.

Trump's latest milestone: Forcing more than 211,000 people out of their federal jobs since January.

A near-decimation of the federal workforce in nine months.

Patel's girlfriend performed at Penn State last weekend. A government jet arrived at State College Regional Airport, according to its FAA registration, with an address listing the FBI HQ. The plane then flew to Nashville, where his girlfriend lives.

All on the taxpayer’s dime.

Judge Has To Tell Border Official That Kids In Halloween Costumes Are Not A Threat Gregory Bovino now has to meet with the judge daily to report on immigration operations in Chicago.

“Kids dressed in Halloween costumes, walking to a parade, do not pose an immediate threat for the safety of a law enforcement officer,” Ellis said, according to Reuters.

“They just don’t. And you can’t use riot-control weapons against them.”

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

So that Mellon guy who gives away cash from his inheritance doesn’t have any left for SNAP?

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples
