Just in case you were expecting something wild tonight, this viral screenshot was fake.

You can’t even use SNAP to buy a hot rotisserie chicken unless you live in a state with a special waiver.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

Here’s #FoxNews, admitting that Friday’s outrage story about the alleged SNAP recipient demanding that the taxpayers feed her children was, erm, fabricated.

Immigration Agents Clash With Chicago-Area Residents on Halloween The state’s governor had called for a pause in the federal immigration crackdown over the Halloween weekend, citing concerns for children’s safety.

Federal immigration agents fanned out across Chicago and its North Shore suburbs on Halloween, chasing suspects through front yards, driving SUVs onto sidewalks and using chemical agents during confrontations with furious residents.

Unreal. The casual reader of this @nytimes.com hed and subhed will have no inkling whatsoever that Trump's "characterization" is wildly false and that it's a bad faith *pretext.* Time to get better at conveying the fundamentally pretextual nature of these authoritarian decrees already.

HAPPENING NOW: At 2:00 p.m. ET, Judge Paula Xinis is set to hold a telephone conference regarding Kilmar Abrego Garcia's newly-filed lawsuit challenging his removal to Uganda.

Abrego was detained by ICE earlier today.

I plan to live-post the hearing for @lawfaremedia.org.

'They chained me to the ground': Detainees at Alligator Alcatraz allege harsh punishment by guards While the new Everglades migrant detention center fends off complaints about its living conditions, some detainees claim guards are also doling out discipline for questioning rules β€” including standin...

β€œThey chained me to the ground," a Nicaraguan migrant seeking U.S. asylum told WLRN in a phone call from inside Alligator Alcatraz.

"I was in the sun, like, from one o’clock to seven o’clock in the evening β€” without no water.”

I agree with Ted Cruz that now isn’t the time to politicize any deaths.

I just wish Ted Cruz would agree with Ted Cruz the next time something happens in a blue state and he decides to be a partisan fuckwit.

Somebody tell trump that if he forces an end to the Israel-Iran war and achieves a nuclear deal with Iran, he might actually get that Nobel Peace Prize after all.

Genuine Question because I Do not understand… so if these men roll up in plain clothes and masks, grab a human being… even a child, and throw them in an unmarked vehicle I am just supposed to look the other way and say nothing ?? Ask Nothing ?

Within two paragraphs, the New York Times Editorial Board says Zohran Mamdani, a thrice-elected assemblyman, doesn't have 'the experience' to be mayor, and suggests voters choose Whitney Tilson, who has never held elected office.

It's almost like they have an ulterior motive...

Senator Duckworth: If you wanted to celebrate the Army's 250th birthday and spend $60 million, you could have spent it on tuition for our troops, funding for military families. You could feed all the homeless veterans in this country

I'm sorry but the largest protest of my lifetime is not the 7th or 8th biggest news story in the country behind "what does Gen Z want from Instagram?" This shit is humiliating. Rearrange your layout to meet this moment. Omitting the thing happening in every American city is malpractice.

The day started with tragedy with political violence in MN and instead of being scared, neighbors SHOWED UP to stand together at No Kings Twin Cities. We packed the Capitol Mall all the way to the Cathedral. Estimate 80,000+ right now. So proud of our state. #nokings #indivisible

Donald J. Trump & @realDonald Trump
Our great Farmers and people in the Hotel and Leisure business have been stating that our very aggressive policy on immigration is taking very good, long time workers away from them, with those jobs being almost impossible to replace. In many cases the Criminals allowed into our Country by the VERY Stupid Biden Open Borders Policy are applying for those jobs. This is not good. We must protect our Farmers, but get the CRIMINALS OUT OF THE USA. Changes are coming!

This is remarkably incoherent even for him. But I especially like the notion that these evil criminals are applying to pick crops and mop hotel bathrooms.

I have a hard time mentally processing any claims that Los Angeles is a β€œdistraction” given that deploying the military if he gets pissed off and also expansively cruel immigration crackdowns were like the top two things he ran on in 2024

A few words about β€œpeaceful protests.”

1. At least 5% of people are uncontrollable assholes and will behave badly in any situation, let alone a high-tension one. So a large protest without ANYONE throwing shit, yelling slurs or for violence, etc. is likely not achievable.
