I guess if their magic populist candidate doesn’t swoop in and give them everything they want all at once, they’re ready to fight anyone actually working on making real progress.

He is ridiculous. They really don’t realize they’re naive and dangerously misinformed. Also it reminded me of this discussion about “incrementalism,” which we could also term “progress.” Real progress.

Donald Trump Approval Rating at Second-Term Low With Conservative Pollster

The president's approval rating has fallen to 45 percent, according to Rasmussen Reports.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:

I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

SNAP Will Stay Partially Funded Through November—But Benefits Could Be Significantly Cut The administration said it could cover “50% of eligible households current allotments” through November with the $4.65 billion in a contingency fund.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

72%

Several New Jersey polling places receive threats similar to ones that disrupted voting last year Law enforcement and election officials in New Jersey have acted swiftly to secure polling places following a series of bomb threats later determined to be unfounded.

He keeps saying he doesn’t know anything about anything. He’s the see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil Speaker.

Or just the “evil speaker” for short.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Whose secret boyfriends keep falling off their Miami balcony

"almost exactly one year after Thiel’s boyfriend Jeff Thomas fell to his death"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

They mistake pragmatism for weakness and it's contempt that will and already has cost much.

Someone was finger wagging about "people being tired of incrementalism" earlier tonight and...I don't know what to tell you but the patience and resilience of Black people during the Civil Rights movement and well before is the reason there have been progress at all.

O'DONNELL: You'll put forward a healthcare plan?

TRUMP: No

O'DONNELL: Since 2015 you've said you've said you fixed it

TRUMP: We almost did it

Of course they didn’t air this part.

Btw I can’t watch Norah O’Donnell without being reminded how she jumped during Harris explaining Project 2025 to say how Trump said he had nothing to do with it. 🙄 When she could’ve just let Harris answer (without her interruption which was a disastrous lie)

People who force their religion on others will force their politics on others. It’s why we separate church from state.

Obama: "They never miss a chance to scapegoat minorities and blame DEI for every problem under the sun. You got a flat tire? Must be DEI. Your wife kicked you out? DEI. Who knew?"

Good God what darkness in the world...

Close the wallets - no big box spending.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

How to answer a loaded question.

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor.

Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree
