Where is all the money going?

They axed all the government services.

Federal workers aren't getting paid; the military isn't getting paid.

So where is all the money going, and why aren't Dems demanding to know?

40 million people are about to go without food assistance and it's going to be a major crisis moment for the US that the far right are intentionally provoking.

Nothing is a more consistent predictor of mass unrest than mass hunger

On November 5th, we set the clocks back 50 years. Women will lose most of their hard won rights, black and brown people will dissappear before our eyes and, and vaccines will disappear allowing measles and polio to flourish, just like the good old days we long for in our nostalgia.

Three nights ago, I had dinner with friends at an upscale restaurant. Tonight, I devoured the latter half of a bag of Flamin’ Hot Cheddar & Sour Cream Ruffles. I don’t know where this places me on the political spectrum, but I’m open to interpretations.

The UK's King Charles hasn't destroyed an entire wing of Buckingham Palace or tried to shake the government down for an extra $230,000,000β€”because he knows he lacks the authority. AND HE'S A REAL KING.

Judge Andrew Oldham sounded frustrated by the UnitedHealthcare lawyer arguing 15-year-old Emily Dwyer no longer needed residential treatment.

United’s approach, the judge said, essentially boiled down to β€œWe’ll just gamble with her life.”

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedβ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

there are a bunch of smart people correctly saying that we can’t replace SNAP with food banks, and that’s true, because we can’t replace SNAP with anything that doesn’t basically look like SNAP, and we certainly can’t do it in a week
