Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

Federal employees like air traffic controllers are not being paid. Food aid is being cut for our neediest citizens. Republican Mike Johnson has adjourned the House for weeks. Why are they getting paid when hard working federal employees aren’t?

Dayanne Figueroa was on her way to get coffee before heading to work when she encountered a chaotic scene in West Town: heavily armed, masked federal agents making arrests on a residential street. 
People yelled as vehicles honked their horn β€” a sign now used to alert neighbors that immigration federal agents are in the area β€” and witnesses said federal agents had arrested several landscaper workers presumed to be in the country without authorization. 
As Figuero tried to drive through the 1600 block of West Hubbard Street on Friday, Oct. 10, an unmarked vehicle driven by federal agents collided with Figueroa’s as it tried to speed away from a hostile crowd, multiple videos reviewed by the Tribune show. 
Seconds after the crash, agents abruptly stopped their vehicle and exited with weapons in hand pointing at Figueroa, a U.S citizen. Agents then forcibly opened her door and pulled her out of the vehicle by her legs without identifying themselves, presenting a warrant or informing her that she was under arrest. As bystanders yelled, β€œYou hit her! We have it on video!” agents ignored the crowd and forced Figueroa into a red minivan and drove away. 
Her car was left behind in the middle of the road, her coffee still in the cup holder, and her keys in plain view.

In Chicago, a woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her car. Armed agents jumped out of the vehicle, yanked her door open, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges.

What if the analysis that says Dems are in trouble because of weak brand and having lost in 2024 is totally wrong? Dems barely lost last year. There are more Dems than Republicans. Young voters skew heavily Dem and by 2028 the majority of voters will be under 40. Trump's approval rating is terrible.

California fights Trump's attempt to steal the midterms The state can strike the first blow against the president’s plan to subvert democracy.

Prop. 50 is one of the most important votes on the ballot in November, with Democrats’ hopes of retaking the House in 2026 hinging on its approval.

Its supporters hope its passage will inspire other Democratic-led states to make similar moves.

The Trump administration found $40 billion to bail out Argentina.

But Republicans are unwilling to spend a dime to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits.

The extremists will always put their billionaire donors first.

And America last.

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying β€œwe have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

Trump to the Poor: Let Them Eat Ballroom Millions of Americans are about to lose food aid from the government, but the man in charge is focused on his β€˜MAGA-Saddam,’ multi-million-dollar White House ballroom.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just won’t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

I wrote that Trump's destruction of the East Wing was to build a palace for him to be a king.

The Washington Post editorial board wrote that Trump is "pursuing a reasonable idea."
