TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

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.

Angus: They banned all American wine and beer sales in the province. David Eby told Donald Trump, “You can keep your watery beer.”

We’ve seen an 85% drop in American spirit sales to Canada and a 97% drop in wine exports. Canada’s basically wiped out the market

Democratic Senator Destroys John Thune Like He's The White House East Wing On The Senate Floor Sen. Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) brought a bill to force Trump to fund SNAP to the Senate floor, where he was blocked by a whining Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), and Luján hammed the GOP complaints.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going.

@nicolefoy.bsky.social is the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents.

She did it because the government isn’t.

This is what she found.

Political parties must shift immediately and dramatically to the left to avoid alienating these frustrated and abandoned young women. Am I doing this right?

Pritzker: Throughout history we've learned that tyranny doesn't arrive with dramatic proclamations. Most times it comes quietly wrapped in the language of law and order, with fingers pointed at someone who doesn't look like you, promising safety while demanding that we sacrifice our neighbors.

Recently in Chicago, there was a high profile military style raid by ICE of an apartment building in the middle of the night, breaking down doors, taking everybody outside out of their beds, including little kids and zip tying them.
