I received this email about Democrats caving to end the shutdown from one of the SNAP recipients I spoke to:

The coordinated nature of this—none are facing voters in 2026—means that either Schumer approved it or failed in his job as Senate Majority Leader to stop it.

Dems voting "no" get zero credit until they demand a change in leadership. Schumer out as Leader, Durbin out as Whip.

Shout out to the spineless fucks out there trying their hardest to double my health insurance costs.

i think this is key. taking the deal would amount to taking the blame. it would turn a clear political victory into an unambiguous defeat.

Know this, @schumer.senate.gov — if you cave, we will not rest until you are primaried and wrested from your seat. When kids on SNAP aren’t being fed, we’re even more hungry for justice. New York has shown you the people’s power just days ago. You *could* join with us, still, and do the right thing.

Every single exciting player the Giants have this year has suffered massive injuries.

Just a cursed franchise at this point.

It's not even poor leadership like the Jets have, just curses.

"World's first potential trillionaire has killed 600,000 people, including 400,000 children" is the only headline that anyone should ever read about Elon Musk

Big day for people who care about other people

why is this mayoral election different than all other mayoral elections?

in all other mayoral elections, we get to see andrew cuomo lose but once. but in this mayoral elections, we get to see him lose *twice*.

Zohran was polling at six percent in January. Nothing is impossible

thank you @nymag.com !!

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

"Not enough people are starving" is a hell of a message.

The most insanely frustrating thing about the #ClimateCrisis is how the breakthrough we so clearly need isn’t technological. It’s just a collective willingness, a determination even, to change in ways that would clearly be SO MUCH BETTER than the clear and obvious consequences of NOT changing.

Here's the USDA's contingency plan to keep SNAP funded during a shutdown. The USDA just deleted it from their website.

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

The actual finding here is that a huge percentage of the population believes things that are not true. Democrats objectively did not spend significant time on climate change or LGBTQ issues in the last election campaign.

This response from the White House is somehow dumber than I could have ever expected.

I’ve hesitated to weigh in on U.S. domestic issues — but with climate breakdown and authoritarian regimes undermining democracy worldwide, it’s time to embrace our shared global citizenship and stand for democracy, pluralism, and the rule of law everywhere.

Public servants do just that, serve the public. It’s in our character. Thank you, furloughed Feds, for continuing to give back.

SNAP benefits expire in one week.

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

By US standards I'm solidly "upper middle class."

I have far more in common with a migrant farmworker than I do with a billionaire. And I'm far more likely to find myself destitute than independently wealthy.

Billionaires understand class solidarity. We need to understand it too.

He’s taking healthcare away from 15 million Americans and making it unaffordable for 22 million more

And using the shutdown as an excuse to deprive up to 42 million citizens-including children-of SNAP benefits

Yet is on the verge of directing the DOJ to pay him $230 million

It’s just so lawless

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.

It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.

It started with intolerance and hate speech.

It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.

Remember.

Department of State v @StateDept g.. The United States has no obligation to host foreigners who wish death on Americans. The State Department continues to identify visa holders who celebrated the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk. Here are just a few examples of aliens who are no longer welcome in the U.S.: 5:55 PM • Oct 14, 2025 • 34.1K Views

BREAKING: Marco Rubio's State Department announces publicly that it is exercising unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in revoking people's visas based on comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

📣Protesting is important. It is a visible reminder that we are not alone and that we are not powerless. It sends a message to those weak men in DC: that we will not give up our freedoms without a fight 🇺🇸

See you on Saturday. Bring friends 💪
