If you delete the SNAP contingency fund language from the USDA site, what you’re really saying is that you know that you could feed people and you’d rather not.

There is always infighting with these clown shows. No loyalty whatsoever, outside of what they can do for one another. I think that applies to a lot of politicians broadly, but it REALLY applies to MAGA. That’s because there was no healthy foundation for those relationships to begin with.

I’ll keep saying this until someone listens: the GOP has no real respect for law enforcement. They just want their guns on their side.

Among the dumber things Trump has ever done was to try to take on a city population that, to a person, have chips permanently affixed to our shoulders. We don’t scare easily. We also despise bullies.

Also, I was today years old when I learned that Greg Bovino was pocket-sized. 5’3” tops.

Just wondering, I mean, he keeps talking about making America great again. When’s that supposed to happen? He’s been President for five years total AND has the House and Senate but never delivered.

I’m starting to think it might be a scam.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no social safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why? Because I'm not a selfish dipshit.

Hey! I’m a divorced (step)dad! (I know you are kidding, or at least wasn’t aiming for me).

Why do these people always talk about civil war? I feel like it might have something to do with the fact that they cannot seem to maintain relationships or get along with pretty much anyone.

Reagan's approach to the world prominently featured two things:

1) Russian aggression bad, Western democratic alliance good
2) Free trade good, tariffs and other barriers to trade bad

Pretending it's the opposite is the sort of reality inversion only someone who rejects truth itself could buy.

The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools.

We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%.

Thirty-two percent...

Not surprisingly, most of the U.S. tariffs are being paid by American companies and consumers β€” NOT by foreign exporters.

β€œFresh mouth.” You know who talks like that? Bullies justifying their actions just before taking someone’s lunch money.

You may have noticed that folks who are from Chicago love this city. There's a reason for that. I walked to the lake with friends yesterday, and when I saw the waves rolling in, I felt something shift back into place inside of me. So many parts of this city are part of me. We will defend this place.

if we are going to have a supreme court that is as powerful as it is, i basically think justices should be forbidden from public comment on their work as well as any supplemental source of income while they are on the bench. (they should also ride circuit again but that's a bit separate.)

Mike Johnson loves the MAGA game of β€œlet’s see how many buzz words that puss off our base I can fit in one sense.”

Probably going to try to tell us to β€œbe best” again.
