3/3 at its current levels through November 21, 2025. Despite this being the same CR that passed 13 times under President Biden, the Senate has failed to advance the measure 14 times.”

2/3. "Over a month ago, I, along with nearly every Republican House member, voted to pass a short-term continuing resolution (CR). There are no extraneous partisan policies attached to the resolution. This CR is a clean and nonpartisan resolution to fund the government

1/3 My bro lives in a red dist & he wants help refuting this claim from his member of congress. I think this statement is oversimplified. How would you rebut this?

Today in life under competitive authoritarianism

A $30 million "fine" for no crime. Politically-motivated extortion of private institutions.

Donald Trump must follow the law and give people their full SNAP payments.

Trump is using hungry children, veterans, and seniors as a political tool. It’s fundamentally wrong.

It’s sick yes.
But there is a consistent internal logic to it if you understand that ableism and eugenics are deeply rooted in modern Silicon Valley.
The deaths of or harm inflicted on vulnerable, struggling or disabled people will always be an β€˜acceptable’ cost for the β€˜progress’ of the tech

I have unsubscribed a couple times but always seem to go back because of literary coverage (book reviews ) …. But it’s getting harder to tolerate the reckless headline writing

The question being asked by the NYT after an election that promoted MANY women to power.

It’s not a question.
It’s a comment.
An attack.

Foreign Food Safety Inspections Hit Historic Low After Trump Cuts The dramatic shift in oversight comes at a time when the U.S. has never been more reliant on foreign food, which accounts for the vast majority of the nation’s seafood and more than half its fresh fru...

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year.

The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices.

But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low.

These quotes are hilarious. Years from now legal scholars will reference them. They'll be in history books.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

If George Floyd's life and death kinda sorta mattered, Amir Locke's life sure the fuck did not matter to the voters of this city. That is abysmal when you think of it.

@indivisible.org what's going on with your donations system? i got charged three times today for one donation. (I have requested refunds).
It's the "indivisible unlimited action fund". Is someone leaning on a keyboard key or something?

ICE/CBP is active in Lincoln Park right now, has been spotted near Damen/Clybourn at Costco + Jewel (this is in addition to a morning abduction reported at Costco earlier).

People believe grocery delivery drivers are being targeted and are asking folks to alert other vulnerable workers as well.
