CHATTANOOGA: β€œWorkers at Volkswagen voted to authorize a strike… paving the way for a potential walkout. UAW and automaker have been in contract negotiations for more than a year, after workers there voted 73% in favor of joining the union.” www.yahoo.com/news/article...

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

β€œI can’t see another reason,” Grijalva tells Rolling Stone. β€œIt doesn’t change the majority; Democrats are still in the minority. That seems to be the only outstanding issue that I can see."

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: β€œHow long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: β€œIt’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.


BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

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.

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions β€” not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

The current homepage of USDA. This is deeply and profoundly fucked up. And illegal. People need to go to jail.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I found it easier to understand Speake Mike Johnson once I realized he's not just a "flawed Christian."

He is the new Roy Cohn, another duplicitous closet case always eager to advance the agendas of genuinely awful people.

Trump is boasting China will buy a β€œtremendous” amount of Soybeans (25 metric tons/year)

REALITY: That’s less than 2024 (27MT)

He’s counting on you not knowing that.

Yes, It’s better than 0. Yes, Farmers need it.

But putting out another fire he started does not a hero make.

As government shutdown persists, ICE agents are among the still-paid employees receiving β€˜super checks’ including lost pay and overtime | Fortune Public finance expert Linda Bilmes says the β€œarbitrariness” of who gets paid and who doesn’t during shutdowns exposes the β€œdysfunction” of the budget approval process.

They found money to pay the ICE thugs, but not to feed the kids…

We are now learning how much oppression and abuse Americans will tolerate. The day will come when enough Americans will decide enough is enough and this lawless regime must be stopped. But right now too many are willing to let the lawless abuse continue.
