The Trump administration is drastically cutting the number of refugees it will admit to the U.S., rejecting thousands of people fleeing war and persecution while reserving the record-low number of slots for mostly white Afrikaner South Africans. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/u...

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

this is insane.

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.

It looks a lot more like preparation for war.

Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Jason Kander posts: “Dems: We’ll vote for a budget if you let sick people go to the doctor. Republicans: Let us take doctors away from sick people or we’re gonna take food away from poor families.” He ends with the hashtag #shutdown2025.

Essentially it is this, yes.

As we hit Day 31 of this Republican government shutdown, I wanted to put a few websites here that can serve as resources (some of which are regionally specific) to those in need and those who want to help:

feedingamerica.org/find…
cityharvest.org
foodrecoverynetwork.org

Says the guy who’s kept the House out of session for months. He’s lying. Again. I’m fascinated by proudly public, self-professed Christians like Mike Johnson. Where does it say it’s okay for Christians to lie like this? I bet he gets down on his knees every night & prays to his god for forgiveness.

Judges order the Trump administration to use contingency funds for SNAP payments during the shutdown Two federal judge have ruled that the Trump administration must continue to fund the SNAP food aid program using contingency funds during the government shutdown.

BREAKING: Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

I renovated the Lincoln Bathroom in the White House. It was renovated in the 1940s in an art deco green tile style, which was totally inappropriate for the Lincoln Era. I did it in black and white polished Statuary marble. This was very appropriate for the time of Abraham Lincoln and, in fact, could be the marble that was originally there!

sure, you might not be able to eat or go to the doctor, but check out how nice Trump's new marble shitter is

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Is Justice Done? You’ve probably seen or read at least something about the story that is the subject of tonight’s post.

Prosecutors are facing discipline for telling a judge the truth in a sentencing memo. This post traces the case, its facts, the sentencing process, and helps us understand why this completes the cycle of corrupting the Justice Department Trump has set us on.

Trump administration gave GOP senators secret details about strikes on alleged drug boats, leaving Dems on outs The Trump administration gave Republicans a legal rationale and secret target list on its military campaign against drug cartels in the Caribbean, icing out Democrats.

A telling absence:

"On the House side, the administration briefed both Republicans and Democrats on Thursday from the House Armed Services Committee, although lawyers were not on hand to discuss the legal rationale."

Prosecutors Who Called Jan. 6 Attackers a ‘Mob of Rioters’ Are Punished

Two prosecutors are placed on leave after referring to the Trump supporters who attacked the Capitol on Jan. 6 as a "mob of rioters" and seeking a stiff sentence for a pardoned attacker who later turned up armed near Obama's house. @alanfeuer.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/u...

Except for the ones that were.

It's been 37 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
