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.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @deadder.bsky.social )

Tylenol, Kleenex, Band-Aid and more put under one roof in $48.7 billion consumer brands deal Kimberly-Clark is buying Tylenol maker Kenvue in an approximately $48.7 billion cash-and-stock deal, creating a massive consumer health goods company.

Very suspicious timing between the false claims being made, leading to a devaluation of the brand, back peddling on those false claims, followed by a quick purchase at the lower price. Smells a lot like collusion and market manipulation.

‘If it was anybody else, we’d arrest him tomorrow,' Justice Department aide said of Trump A handful of documents found by the FBI at Mar-a-Lago were so sensitive that even a senior Justice Department official didn’t have authorization to see them.

If I get any madder I’m gonna explode. I spent my life protecting these documents only to have this fucking two bit con man shit next to them and show them to uncleared civilians. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...

Robert Reich The Secret Behind High Gas Prices

Big Oil spent nearly $450M backing Trump & Republican candidates last year.

Now, during one of the longest government shutdowns in history, Senate Republicans voted to gut a policy protecting millions of acres in Alaska from oil drilling.

Talk about a return on investment.

The hubris of Jennings, won’t even look David in the eye…is it disrespect or cowardice? Yes, all those (his words) “communist/socialist” programs wasted on the tax burdened working class…shocked his posing, prancing self didn’t fumble with his sleeve trying to push that Rolex out of sight🎯

This is it

I was laid off from Teen Vogue this week, alongside multiple other phenomenal team members.

At our Summit, I was asked how it felt to be 1 of 2 Black women left and what that meant for representation. Now, there are no Black women at Teen Vogue and that is incredibly painful to think about.

No more Black or trans staffers. No politics of any kind. The cowardice of mainstream media isn't just insulting, it's *boring.* Now TV is just like any other beauty rag. Why not just kill it quickly? Why the slow-motion pretense?

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand.

There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise.

Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

For those living where there is an opportunity to vote tomorrow, GO VOTE if you didn’t do so early.

GO VOTE!!! Local elections, propositions, governors, you name it. VOTE!!!!!

I started a trend!

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

This Man Is the Face of the Future Greg Bovino is next.

Genuine fascism always has an air of ridiculousness.

IF YOU THINK YOU LOVE FREEDOM BUT YOU DON'T CARE IF IT APPLIES TO EVERYONE, WHAT YOU ACTUALLY LOVE IS PRIVILEGE

to live through the Trump administration is to be inundated with news 24/7, story after story of absurd and horrible scandal

unless you are Mike Johnson, who lives in an idyllic world full of puppies and rainbows in which nothing ever happens

Unbelievable.

As in, literally, not credible.

The American dream feels impossible for many young voters, who see no political fix We asked readers whether young Americans today can still have a better life than their parents. They responded with stories of economic hardship and growing disillusionment with leaders in Washington.

Trump’s ‘real numbers’ on private sector job growth are neither real nor numbers The president claimed that the private sector has generated a “record number of jobs” this year. Reality tells a very different story.
