Trump cuts hit struggling food banks, risking hunger for low-income Americans Food banks across the country, already strained by rising demand, say they will have less food to distribute because of at least $1 billion in federal funding cuts and pauses by the Trump administration, according to Reuters interviews with organizations in seven states.

"Food banks are handling unprecedented demand as U.S. hunger rates climb after years of decline. In 2023 13.5% of Americans struggled at some point to secure enough food, the highest rate in nearly a decade...In rural America, the hunger rate is even higher at 15.4%."

Watching Trump and his MAGA hacks trying to do their best to discredit Jeff Goldberg's reporting has been sloppy, infuriating and should be embarrassing for those taking part in it but this wasn't some story he was working on. They added him to a text thread then gave him top secret war plans!

President Putin Occupies The White House It's clear to Europe and our allies that President Trump and Republicans are now thoroughly compromised by Putin, an anti-American dictator. The question remains: who will step up and speak out?

My latest. I bring receipts. Please read and share.

Govt workers support their local schools, non-profits, and fellow neighbors. Their earnings churn in communities through purchasing local goods and services and paying property taxes.
Not only are we losing what their jobs provide, but we are losing economic, social, and community development.

I keep saying Dems need to do a daily briefing on Capitol Hill and fill the void, fact check the WH. Hire Pete Buttigeig and give him a staff to do this.

Raskin: "Elon Musk, you may have illegally seized power over the financial payments systems of the Treasury, but you don't control the money of the American people. The US Congress does that under Article 1 of the Constitution ... we don't have a fourth branch of government called 'Elon Musk'"

A tweet by Michael McFaul (@McFaul) that reads: "In 2012, when I was the US ambassador to Russia, Putin shut down USAID inside Russia. Why? Because their work supported free markets, democracy, human rights β€” ie causes that threatened Putin's dictatorship. Shutting down USAID is exactly what autocrats all over the world want."

Putin is full out celebrating our idiocy.

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.

I know. I was there in those camps.

Auschwitz is liberated | January 27, 1945 | HISTORY The Soviet Red Army enters Auschwitz, Poland, and liberates the survivors of the network of concentration campsβ€”and finally reveals to the world the depth of the horrors perpetrated there.

A grim but essential memory: 80 years ago today Auschwitz was liberated. That there was an Auschwitz to liberate is unspeakably tragic. . .
