Trump says he wants to resume nuclear testing. Here's what that would mean The U.S. has not conducted a nuclear test in over 30 years. Experts say doing one now could make America less safe.

Kind of seems like we know how they work.

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

“He was very strong on congratulating me.”

We all just want to go about our lives but if we go full dictatorship, we'll have to forego what we want our lives to be about.

He's giving Bovino the green light too ramp up his efforts and do more raids. Bovino even threw a gas cannister at one raid himself. Trump, yet again, has found another Nazi to do his bidding. When this is finally over, I wan't them all in jail, but Trump will pardon them all before he leaves office

Dudes dressed up as ICE agents will be out everywhere on Halloween. Nothing can go wrong

They are already outside my daughters school this morning

No we should all dress as ICE to fuck with ICE.

Appealing to the compassion and empathy of a man who purchased a bespoke Gestapo overcoat seems a little Quixotic, but I guess you have to try.

You might not be living your life right when a sitting governor of a major US state has to ask out loud for you not to TERRORIZE CHILDREN ON HALLOWEEN.
Seems like Greg won’t even need a costume-because he is already a monster.
Is that how his mother raised him?

Pritzker makes a direct appeal to Greg Bovino to not terrorize kids over the Halloween weekend

AJ is a dumb MF’er

Birdie by JP Rose

Day 30 of sharing my favourite Black authored books and today is one of my favourite kids books Birdie. This is about mixed heritage identity, pit ponies and families, all set in 1950s Yorkshire. It’s just stunning.

@cbsnews.com what the fuck is wrong with you

The 2019 shutdown set a precedent that contingency funds can be used to keep SNAP running in an emergency. Even if a judge rules the same, the $5.5B available would cover only part of the $9B need. States could issue partial payments that will still be delayed, but its progress.

BASH: You all found ways to pay the military and WIC. But why are you drawing the line now on 40 million Americans who literally will not be able to eat with govt assistance?

MIKE JOHNSON: If we had a contingency fund we could use, that would be done.


BASH: They say that's not what the law shows

What IS the June 2024 special grand jury?

WTF America , is this what you have become . Testing nuclear weapons again , So is the new bunker some kind of Dr Strangelove thing. In the movie "bunkers war" refers to a post-nuclear attack survival plan where a select group of people would be sheltered in deep mine shafts to repopulate the Earth

RUBBLE.
I have no idea where to ask this, but *what happened to the rubble that used to be the East Wing?* It must have been packed with sensitive electronics, including security & surveillance.

What happened to all of it?
How concerning is that?

Propped up with the chemical equivalent of a steel pole up his rear end, fitting wheels to his shoes and trundling him out to burble some prerecorded gibberish.

Heritage Foundation is in charge.

I'm going to be PISSED if a half-assed AI-slop video ends up saving the world.

"Look, Mr. President, here's our latest nukular test! As you can see, it was just a tremendous kaboom. The biggest you ever saw!"

I suspect his kids aren't stepping in because 1) they have no idea how, and 2) the longer he stays ambulatory, the longer they can keep on grifting with his protection.

Ivanka and Jared already got out of town before the music stopped, but I doubt Eric and Junior will see it coming.

Great idea! And tell him we won and it was the best biggest ever

Naaaah. Just have whoever's running the Whitehouse-47 account show him a video of one of the Bikini Atoll tests and tell him it was last week. It'll be fine.

Keep calm and carry on (with ruining the nearest ICE agent's day).

No, he’s not fucking OK. Now he’s talking about nuclear testing Americans are freaking out. Congress is got to do something about him. They have got to remove him and Hegseth and that asshole Miller now.

Everything he’s done in life has been *Grandiose* so his fall should follow suit!

It should be done in front of the world and for those who he has offended, persecuted, tortured, raped, stolen from, bullied, chastised, lied to, mocked, and abused!!!!!

He knows the EPSTEIN FILES are not going away, he's f*cked when it comes out he's a sex trafficker & everywhere in them.
Maybe setting up the notion that's he's "too frail" physically & cognitively to withstand any trial, just like most powerful crime bosses & rich folks do.

He’s definitely NOT OK.

He does look like he’s had a stroke. Probably the reason for the MRI.
