Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

HOPIUM!!!!

I'm 72, it's not ageism to desire youthful policy makers. They reflect more accurately our real life needs. They aren't just sugaring up the grandkids and pushing the old paradigm, but actually speaking as those whose children will be the inheritors of the world they shape

I'm old, my ideas aren't

Quite the lede.👇

Tuesday was a brutal night for President Donald Trump and his axis of antidemocratic actors — and a huge night for democracy. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Under the U.S. Sentencing Guidelines, use of yellow mustard would require a 7-level sentence enhancement, dijon 10 levels, and spicy brown 12.

Trump

Trump will forever be known as the president who weaponized hunger and defied a court order telling him to stop.

What a garbage human being.

Lies, Lies, Lies…
Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained. We focus on those who are here illegally.”

60 Minutes Obeys in Advance Read more here.

My wife warned me not to watch. As usual, she was right.

Like many of you, I tuned in to watch Norah O’Donnell interview Donald Trump on “60 Minutes.” Over the span of 40 minutes, I sat in disbelief as Trump was asked a series of softball questions with little follow-up.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Can't argue with this.

It's really not that difficult. Just turn it off and forget it exists.

I can't tell people what to post or what not to post here on Bluesky. Every time I see a CBS posting, I feel that MAGA cringe. Why give them oxygen.

i've been thinking that's where we're heading (Fourth Reich, headquartered in Moscow, using US might as its platform for dominance)

amazing we're even considering that, but yes

anything's possible. thr turning WH into a SWASTIKA

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

So Prince Andrew lost his title and housing due to a Democratic hoax 🤨🤔 Huh 😒🙄😵‍💫😑🙃

This week, Texas filed a lawsuit against Tylenol’s parent company, alleging it failed to alert consumers

Then, Kennedy clarified that “the causative association between Tylenol given in pregnancy and perinatal periods is not sufficient to say it definitely causes autism." trib.al/H3mdDNL

TAPPER: “Trump hosted a Gatsby-themed party while SNAP runs out — I’ve heard Republicans even express concern about the optics…”

BESSENT: “Obama played more golf than any president.” (NOT TRUE 🤥 )

@jaketapper.bsky.social : *does not push back on the lie*🤔

Jeff Bezos rented out Venice for $50 Million to get married. Received 19B in tax incentives from trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. Is cutting 60,000 jobs during the holiday season and you are all mad at Genny from the trailer park buying Cheetos with SNAP benefits.

This is ALL so disgusting

The issue isn’t just remodeling the Lincoln bathroom, it’s doing it in all marble, during a shutdown, and posting about it. It’s not about throwing a Halloween party, it’s deciding the theme is Great Gatsby while millions are scared they’re going to starve. Character is the issue

Several questions unanswered in Georgia response to SNAP funding lapse Gov. Brian Kemp has signaled the state won't be dipping into surplus funds to fill SNAP gaps.

If Kemp’s not willing to use GA’s 14.6 billion surplus (9 bil is undesignated and 5.6 bil is a rainy day fund) to help fund SNAP, what the hell is he going to use it for?? I can’t think of anything more important than keeping people from starving.

republicans are fucked up

If the GOP doesn’t want tax dollars going to food, healthcare, housing, ed, SS, veterans’ care, housing, research, science, art, infrastructure, transit, childcare, the environment, public broadcasting, diplomacy, regulatory agencies, or job training… WTF are we paying them for?

Food banks were ‘operating on fumes’ even before SNAP chaos • Stateline Even before the federal government shutdown posed an unparalleled challenge for food banks, nonprofits across the countr

Food banks were already struggling to keep with demand. Then, Trump slashed $1 billion from crucial USDA programs supporting them.

Now, thanks to his shutdown, food assistance for millions of Americans is about to try up.

The perfect storm of cruelty.

Live updates: Trump administration must fund SNAP payments during the shutdown, judges rule Two federal judges ruled on Friday that President Donald Trump’s administration must continue to fund SNAP, the nation’s biggest food aid program, during the government shutdown.

🚨It’s completely insane that it takes a court order to prevent the Trump regime from starving people.

Insanity is the “norm” in an administration full of psychotic idiots.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

Private equity gave $10M to Trump's inauguration. He gave them greater access to Americans' 401(k)s.

DuPont and Dow Chemical gave $750K. Trump exempted them from an air pollution rule.

Intuit gave $1M. Trump killed the IRS Direct File Program.

Everything is for sale.

Our government is shutdown, and our “president” is willing to meet with Kim Jong Un, but not Chuck Schumer.

America first, right?
