No. Not in Maryland. I don’t know where you got this photo but it’s either fake or somewhere like Sweden.

CBS announced they are shifting toward more "apolitical" programming & fired 8 news people. All women. 4 of them women of color.

I'm not sure who needs to hear this, but exclusively firing women and people of color is not apolitical.

Byyyyyyyyeeee CBS.

This is what’s wrong with our society. The people controlling the money find ways of falsely altering its worth and then stealing it from the rest of the people.

U.S. hits $38 trillion in debt, after the fastest accumulation of $1 trillion outside of the pandemic This rapid debt accumulation is the fastest outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the debt having reached $37 trillion in August.

We are $38 trillion in debt, millions are about to go hungry, and he's busy building himself a gilded ballroom.

#PPOD: Called Seyfert's Sextet, this galactic vista was captured by the Hubble Space Telescope in its 13th year. The galaxies are so tightly packed together that gravitational forces are beginning to rip stars from them and distort their shapes. πŸ§ͺ πŸ”­

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

A large planetary nebula. The nebula’s central star is hidden by a blotchy pinkish cloud of dust. A strong red light radiates from this area, illuminating the nearby dust. Two large loops extend diagonally away from the centre, formed of thin ridges of molecular gas, here coloured blue. A huge number of bright, whitish stars cover the background, also easily visible through the thin dust layers. Credit: ESA/Webb, NASA & CSA, J. H. Kastner (Rochester Institute of Technology)

He is so obviously mad and unfit it's just incredible there isn't a national conversation about his need to step down.

The Trump Administration pulled $1.2 billion from California’s hydrogen hub. Even without federal funding, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power is pressing ahead with clean energy retrofits anyway.

If they don't care about feeding hungry kids that are already here, stop calling them pro-life.

Cutting SNAP benefits is atrocious.
