On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime has:
-Cut $1 billion from USDA programs supporting food banks
-Enacted tariffs that have caused food prices to rise
-Made the largest cut to SNAP in history
-Canceled the annual food security survey
Shameful.

This is a classic form of voter intimidationโmaking people feel like itโs not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

โSpeaker Johnson, many Americans are wondering why youโre unable to see or hear any developments in the news. Some are speculating that you were kicked in the head by a horse; others theorize that youโve been huffing spray paint. Which is it?โ

Bernie the Beagle is lying among the fall leaves, taking a break on our walk. He is a tricolor beagle, with a chocolate nose and an old white face. His harness is red, his tags are red and green. The leaves are shades of yellow and brown, on green grass.
My sweet boy, chilling among fallen leaves.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions
"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

From MeidasTouch Legal AF: The Convicted FElon DOJ is now deleting court documents on J6 terrorists who have been in trouble with law repeatedly. The DOJ was caught when a judge noticed a document missing on a J6'er, who wanted to bomb Obama's home & was convicted for it. I bet these are ICE now.

The government is shutdown, and millions of Americans are about to go without food and/or medicine because of him.
So what does Donald Trump do? Keeps bragging about his $300,000,000 golden ballroom and throws a Great Gatsby party at his private resort.
He is so stupidly tone-deaf.

A path through the woods, with trees on either side. The leaves are turning colors, mostly shades of yellow.
A beautiful day, with lots of fall color on the Kal-Haven Trail. Bernie was a happy boy!

Bernie the Beagle snoozes on the couch. He is a tricolor beagle, with a chocolate nose, but mostly we see his face: white with age, some dark and light brown areas. His ear is folded up. He is on a brown couch, snuggling with a pieced quilt. We can see red with flowers, green with branches, a darker green with holly leaves. One square has a winter scene, and we can see horsesโ feet.
On this rainy morning, Bernie was in no hurry to get up.
