Food insecurity is ALWAYS a political choice. Famine is ALWAYS manmade. People go hungry because of other people’s decisions. We have more than enough food for everyone, and enormous amounts of it are wasted—literally thrown in the garbage—on purpose.

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this.
But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

It feels all kinds of gross to plea for food at a holiday like Halloween. It deliberately aims at kids, as opposed to the elected adults who put them here.

But I’ll be fucked if any kid on my street goes hungry. And I won’t shame a single person who takes what they need from my Halloween bowl.

🤷🏼

I tell my kids that it’s their chance to be special elves for Santa, and that he gives them something extra special. Worked well so far for the last 4 years. 🤞

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

“oh so you think the east wing being demolished is worse than-“ it’s a synecdoche, man. a visual metaphor. there’s a reason the aliens in Independence Day don’t aim a huge laser at SNAP benefits

ICE raided fields in Oxnard, CA back in July, and they most certainly used cans of different gases at responders who came to help people being kidnapped. I can guess where the budget for them came from easily. 😡

34 people killed in 50 days. Their guilt or innocence unknown, for an alleged crime that doesn't carry a death sentence. That's a lot of death.

Updating my LEGO White House

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Whatever you think of the White House as a building or a symbol, the fact is that the image of it being torn apart on a whim two days after 7 million people hit the streets against autocracy is going to make a HUGE amount of people really, really angry, and that's an energy that should be harnessed.

The president of the United States posted a video of him defecating on the American people. Many in my profession normalized it. This is a big reason why we are where we are.

First World Series between two cities threatened with invasion or invaded by a U.S. president.

My feelings, exactly.

Thank you to the organizers of today's wildly successful (and peaceful) "No Kings" rallies. You did an amazing job. And thanks to all the millions of people who showed up to give us faith. And a special shout out to the White House regime and the Speaker of the House for all the free publicity!

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Never in my life will there be another athlete like Shohei Ohtani. The man is just on a level we can barely dream of.

Go Dodgers!

Of course! I was a Freddie Freeman fan even when he was on the Braves. A good player is a good player. 👏

The Santos commutation is a prelude to a Ghislaine Maxwell pardon.

Mark my words.

OHTANI! 👏👏👏

Would you look at that - my rage IS bottomless. Fucking fantastic.

The rage inside is officially bottomless. Who fucking knew.

THANKS, OBAMA.

AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.

Federal resources aren’t campaign tools. Secretary Kristi Noem's new TSA video crosses the line, violating the Hatch Act with blatant political messaging.

We’re urging California airports to stand firm against this unlawful federal pressure and refrain from airing the video.

Brewers are gonna be a great team for this series. As a Dodgers fan, I can’t wait!
