President Trump’s administration asked a federal appeals court Friday to block a judge’s order that it distribute November’s full monthly SNAP benefits amid a U.S. government shutdown, even as at least some states said they were moving quickly to get the money to people. https://to.pbs.org/3LtvAqj

America Needs a Mass Movement—Now Without one, America may sink into autocracy for decades.

On Neighbors Reporting Neighbors. Or How I Lost a Job In High School Sports Because of My Politics... So two weeks ago, I received a very casual voicemail from the Athletic Director at the school where I was a volunteer lacrosse coach.

So I started a Substack. Take a look if you are interested in the long form ramblings of a Gen X liberal! It’s free!

Charlie Kirk, fiery voice in conservative politics, killed at 31 Charlie Kirk, 31, built one of the most influential organizations on the right, turning viral debate moments into fuel for Turning Point’s rapid growth.

This is quite possibly the most sanitized, white-washed hagiography of Charlie Kirk.

You can and should condemn his murder AND accurately describe his life devoted to hate, division and bigotry. It's all there. He didn't hide it.

The president went on TV to attack political opponents and blame them for the killing of Charlie Kirk, even though we don’t know who shot him.

If there is anything this man can do to worsen the situation, he will do it. Despicable.

I abhor guns and the violence they foment. No one deserves to be killed for speaking their opinion, however flawed and ignorant and hateful as I may think it. That being said, in the name of not speaking ill of the dead, I will let Mr. Kirk speak for himself…

As we look toward the start of a new school year here in Virginia, it’s important to remind ourselves that @glennyoungkin.bsky.social and Linda McMahon are truth-denying clowns with no business interfering in the education of American students.

@glennyoungkin.bsky.social is a pretender to the crown who is an embarrassment to the commonwealth of Virginia. He has presidential ambitions. Don’t feed them. Send him home and lock the door.
