I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing." John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

"The agency's announcement came after more than 200 Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives on Friday called on USDA to draw on its emergency reserves to fund November food benefits.

However, according to a memo seen by Reuters, the department indicated that it would not do so."

Damn yeah I can’t imagine what it was that made you so angry at this

The advances in the use of evs worldwide should be sign of solid hope. If China can achieve 50% new sales, there is no reason America cannot amp up its efforts - except that Trump is trying to keep Americans shackled to his cronies’s gas pumps.

“the president got mad at a television commercial so now your maple syrup is more expensive” is no way to run a country

In Earnings Calls, Private Prison Executives Revel in Profiting Off ICE Arrests “Our business is perfectly aligned with the demands of this moment,” CoreCivic CEO Damon Hininger said on the call.

Private prison executives casually discussed the "3,000 arrests per day" quota in earnings calls—despite the Department of Justice previously denying any quota exists. This is fueling immigration raids nationwide while companies rake in record profits.

Hadn’t seen this update but Nazi guy got booked for assault after this incident. Here’s hoping it gets significantly worse for him from here!

Politico Magazine: "The Theory Behind Trump's Gunboat Diplomacy"

The "theory" is "I've got big guns and the Supreme Court said I'm immune from any criminal prosecution, and Congress lets me get away with everything, so I'm gonna murder brown people with big explosions and tell the public I'm saving them from drugs."

Saved you a click.

Mayor Trent Staggs O @MayorStaggs Follow For those New Yorkers planning to flee to Utah with Mamdani likely being the next mayor. I beg you, don't bring the voting history that led to it with you. 5:28 PM • Oct 24, 2025 • 116.6K Views

Lol no one has fled New York to Utah since Brigham Young

Either this ends with some sort of truth and reconciliation process where a very large number of people go to prison for a very long time or we will take a short pause and then start doing it again, but worse.

Anyone can become disabled.

Anyone can lose their job.

Anyone can become homeless.

Anyone can go hungry.

These are not moral failings. They can happen in an instant.

Most people are far closer to living in poverty than they realize.

We must fight for one another & for the most vulnerable.

Photos: White House East Wing Demolished For Trump’s Ballroom The privately funded ballroom will be approximately 90,000 square feet, much larger than the White House itself.

Washington Post editorial: In defense of the White House ballroom Donald Trump vs. the NIMBYs

I can’t believe there are not one but two articles, in major papers, with this dumb framing. It is not NIMBY to express dismay when a big part of the White House is suddenly rubbled

@gizmodo.com is deleting my bylines. that's awesome.

they say stuff like this and you realize, they believe women just fine. they just don't care when we're hurt and think men should be allowed to paw at whomever they want without consequence.

Bill Maher Slams Mamdani And Endorses Cuomo But Admits 'Maybe He Was A Little Too Handsy' The "Real Time" host also said Zohran Mamdani was born in a country "where they kill homosexuals" and brought up the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.

Always told liberals Bill Maher was a racist piece of shit, especially against Muslims and Arabs, and we were ignored for years.

President John F Kennedy in the Oval Office. He appears to be with some kids in Halloween costumes. He's sitting at his desk. There are green colored curtains behind him, as well as small model ships.

George HW Bush at his desk in the Oval office. There's a single paining on the wall and a bunch of family photos behind him.

President Reagan at his desk in the Oval Office. There are four paintings on the wall, a grandfather clock, and some dark wood chairs.

President Trump in the Oval Office. The wall is crowded with paintings in elaborate gilded frames and random gold things on the wall. The fireplace is full of gold ornaments.

we are witnessing a genuine decline in the taste of american elites

there's a video somewhere of chamath palihapitiya saying that he used to donate millions to democrats but couldn't get a meeting, but is able to with republicans. like everyone, rich donors want to feel special. no better way to make them feel special than a WH ballroom, earning parties more $$$

people chant "we stand with you!" as Letitia James tries to speak outside a courthouse in Virginia

the point of the ballroom obvs has nothing to do with aesthetics. it's to create an architectural structure to honor the patronage networks that currently dominate US politics. previous WH venues hosted maybe a couple of hundred people; this hosts nearly 1,000 rich donors.

it is not doxxing to reveal the name and face of a public official

Fliers include full names, addresses, and images of ICE agents. This is what the media WON'T show you. Disgusting. Bring in the troops. BREAKING: We recovered 15-20 fliers in Portland of ICE agents' names, address, photos @DAVIDMEDINAPDX LIKEISAID, WECAN'T SHOW YOU THIS

Joe McCarthy would be so proud. A J6er now working as a lead MAGA influencer in Oregon says his “team” found flyers in Portland doxxing ICE agents but he can’t show them to you…

“The department declined to answer questions about whether the donor is an American citizen or a foreign national.” Jesus Fucking Christ

Wow! Very impressive for them to do all of this in 2020 while Trump was president and they weren't in the government! Very normal post from the President of the United States!
