What's especially funny here is, Trump has no idea how Congress works beyond "me tell sissies do this," and they frequently don't do it anyway (see failed 1st-term ACA "reform").

Hospital leaders in CT made it clear โ€” the expiring ACA subsidies & cuts to Medicaid & Medicare will leave people uninsured & increase healthcare costs.

People will come in sicker & emergency departments will overcrowd. Iโ€™m fighting for healthcare because lives are on the line.

โ€œIf this is an opportunity for Democrats to win back lost ground โ€” and it is โ€” then it is also a warning to a Republican Party that has tied its entire identity to the man from Mar-a-Lago,โ€ our columnist Jamelle Bouie writes.

How far has former NY governor Andrew Cuomo fallen? Cuomo has been endorsed by two of the most loathed people in the world, Trump and Elon Musk โ€” as well as a person many consider to be a full-blown Nazi, Stephen Miller. Zohran Mamdani is going to be New York City's next mayor.

UPDATE: Karoline Leavitt said that USDA will in fact be paying out the partial SNAP payments in compliance with the court.

Trump "does not want to have to tap into this fund in the future, and thatโ€™s what he was referring to in his true social post," she said.

Another shameless lie.

Trumpโ€™s own lawyers at USDA posted (then deleted) the guidance below that SNAP continues during a shutdown.

Can someone ask him to explain why he disagrees with Trumpโ€™s own lawyers?

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

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

O'DONNELL: Americans have been watching videos of ICE tackling a young mother, tear gas being used in a Chicago residential neighborhood, and the smashing of car windows. Have some of these raids gone too far?

TRUMP: No. I think they haven't gone far enough.

Woman sits in car for 14 hours to get food during New Birth Baptist church food giveaway More than 2,000 people waited in their cars in line Saturday morning in order to receive food.

Some people waited in line up for 14 hours to receive a food box from a church giveaway.

500 people volunteered to help and they still ran out of food.

Remember for every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds 9.

By turning off food assistance the regime is starving Americans.

Rememberโ€”we dropped Disney's stock 7% in 24 hrs & they went back on their big decision.

We need to do it to every one of them during the peak of their money-making season, the holidays.

They don't think we can make a difference.

Let's prove them wrong.

Fight back in whatever way you can.

I can't be the only one noticing that rockist old curmudgeons grousing about how "No one makes great music anymore" are often the same ones trashing new artists who either ARE making great music that doesn't sound like classic rock, or trashing new artists for sounding TOO MUCH like classic rock.

They will price people out of healthcare, a living wage, and now even basic necessities. Millions will starve without funding for SNAP benefits. Now, the Republican Party has started interfering with private businesses. They want to prevent them from being able to help the communities they serve.

Donald Trump said, โ€œI do not want Americans to go hungryโ€

That was a lie - If SNAP benefits are needed for millions of people, heโ€™s prepared for them to die of hunger

It's time Republicans take a long hard look at their cruel attitudes and begin to focus on regular Americans

Important reminder that programs like SNAP benefits only came to exist because their was a lack or need not being met in the communities. This just shows you how the affordability crisis has continued to shape our politics. We, as a country, have to stop half measures and tackle income inequality!
