Food for thought:

This tracks:

I believe this:

@fetterman.senate.gov You lied to us when you ran for office. If your opponent wasn’t such an obvious fake Pennsylvanian, you would never have won. I wish you all the fortune that liar’s like you deserve.

What Pete says:

Exactly:

I guess the Trump economic plan is for him to just make up a bunch of numbers and lie every single day about them and hope at some point people will believe him instead of their bank accounts.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

Yes!

I guess the plan to have Mike Johnson lie in shutdown press conferences every day for 3 weeks didn’t work out.

I really missed this feeling. 💙💙💙

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

California – this Election Day, vote yes on Prop 50.

California’s Prop 50 says that if Republicans are going to abuse the system to try and hang onto power, we’re going to counteract that abuse and create a level playing field in the midterm elections.

Make a plan to vote yes on Prop 50.

Look! They forgot the “R”

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

@rbreich.bsky.social or anyone. Real question:

What recourse do folks have if they’re affected by the cuts?

It seems there’s gonna be a lot of angry people…

A statement from AFM President Tino Gagliardi:
