Monday night football abc broadcast was at the bottom of the fm dial in Philly when I was a kid in the 70s so when my mom sent me to bed at halftime I’d listen to Cosell and try to picture the game

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

No health care, no deal.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Thank you Bernie
I wish our whole Vermont delegation would be voting against it

What to know about the nationwide FAA-mandated flight reductions The FAA has ordered a 4% reduction in operations at 40 major airports starting Friday, which will ramp up to 10% by Nov. 14.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy wants air traffic controllers who are not being paid to "show up because it's their job." How about Congressional Republicans show up and do their job by ensuring all federal workers are paid, travelers are safe, and our healthcare is protected? seiu.co/482c2SH

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.

Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.

The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.

Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

I understand completely

No leeks? Sigh

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Women should have jobs, but Ross Douthat shouldn’t.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

It's not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities. [Cartoon by Jesse Duquette]

During the shutdown, Trump could find $40 billion to bail out Argentina & $300 million for a ballroom to host dinner parties with billionaires, but he won’t tap emergency funds to prevent millions of American kids from going hungry?

How cruel is that?

Today is Larry Itliong Day in CA, honoring the Filipino American labor leader whose union members began the Delano Grape Strike on 9/8/65. They asked Cesar Chavez’s National Farm Workers Association to join their picket lines. The rest is history.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).
