For every one meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. Food banks cannot bridge the gap if SNAP benefits aren’t available.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

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.

Denver Mayor Mike Johnston is advocating for Flock surveillance cameras, sometimes using false or misleading claims. His claim that Flock cameras solved a missing woman's murder is not true. Her mother tells our @spencersoicher.bsky.social she is "shocked and appalled" by the Mayor's claim.

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head Exclusive: ‘Devastating consequences’ now inevitable but emissions cuts still vital, says António Guterres in sole interview before Cop30

Yesterday, the UN SG António Guterres said the world has failed to prevent overshoot of 1.5°C of warming, the Paris Agreement limit.

This is a massive political failure.

Urgent action is needed now to limit the magnitude and duration of overshoot.

Keeping the House Absent, Johnson Marginalizes Congress and Himself

House GOP is very happy to get paid to do nothing but praise their dear leader & push propaganda.

“It has all created a strange dynamic on Capitol Hill: Mr. Johnson appears to be using the considerable power of the speakership to render the House irrelevant.”

He's absolutely worthless

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Taxpayers don’t owe Donald Trump a dime for his legal battles. While he’s trying to get $230 million from the federal government to pay his own lawyers, families across this country are struggling to keep up with grocery bills and rent.

Let's be clear. The shutdown won't end until a deal is made with House & Senate leaders. The House needs to be in session for that. If the House in session, Johnson will have to swear in Grijalva. Which will approve the release of the Epstein files.
So we are shut down because of the Epstein files.

An amazing picture taken by the ESA's Sentinel-2 Satellite, that was directly over the eye of Hurricane Melissa as it was making landfall in Jamaica on Tuesday... #SpectrumNews1 #ncwx #Melissa #ESA

Its called untreated schizophrenia but we’ll take the vote

They'll do whatever they want to do. There are no consequences.

Worth remembering…

Still awaiting my George $oros payment for showing up at #NoKINGS_Day & staying until noon.

Somebody slipped this 20 under my door, but something about it seems fake.

crazy it is almost as if weiss has been promoted beyond her ability

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'"

I've saved her some time.

Good morning from Vermont my friends ☕️🫶

May your coffee be warm, your mood be easy,
and the day unfold a little kinder than expected 🩵

U.S. military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission: Reuters Lawmakers in Congress say they are being kept in the dark about key aspects of a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

NDAs can’t be used to cover up illegal activities. If the person asking you to sign one is doing something illegal, you can break it & sue.

Lawyers & government folks chime in here, but hey are usually only used in business deals. Also, this shows just how horrible, incompetent, and evil they are.

Jeffries: "The so-called chairman of the House Oversight Committee, James Comer, continues to behave like a malignant clown."

Jeffries: They got out of town in September and have refused to come back. So Mike Johnson has resorted to holding these daily press conferences, which are like a Republican family reunion—featuring crazy aunts and uncles talking gibberish to the American people.

It’s an embarrassment.

Trump building himself a new gold-plated ballroom at the White House shows what he really cares about - which is definitely not you.

😡

Yes!yes!yes!yes!

Impeach. Remove. Convict. Imprison.

Trump was absolutely right when he said that he is both President and Speaker of the House.
