Folks, please note this. The top military official overseeing Trump's boat bombings recently resigned with no explanation, and now Republicans in Congress are refusing to press for his testimony even in a classified setting.

Lots of new behind-the-scenes reporting in this piece:

This is really appalling: Rep Adam Smith tells me that in a briefing, Pentagon officials said they reserve the right to kill people who are "affiliated" with their list of "narco-terror groups."

But under questioning, they wouldn't define what "affiliated" means!

‼️ On SNAP, very significant here:

A federal judge rules that the Trump admin is "required" to spend the $5.5 billion in contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits.

But there will still be a gap in benefits; she gave the admin until Nov. 3 to share if/how they will issue payments.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

I don't see a legal argument in light of the clear intention of the 22nd Amendment.

NCGOP spokesman appears to be threatening @propublica.org's @dougbockclark.bsky.social with retaliation by the Trump administration for reporting on a state Supreme Court justice www.propublica.org/article/paul...

Art of the deal 🤷🏼

This is horrific. I am so ashamed of my country right now.

Randall Gamboa in Nazi Noem custody for 8 months then died when deported back to Costa Rica.

🧵This horrific story is being reported all over Latin America, but not the US.

Randall Gamboa, a Costa Rican, was deported from the US in such a critical health condition it required an ambulance flight.

He then died upon his return to Costa Rica after being detained for 8 months by DHS.

America 2025.

This will go down as the week that the @WhiteHouse and the absent and on vacation (paid) @GOP have decided to starve American citizens.

For the editor and author to claim ignorance that phrases like "Germans for the German, America for the Americans" and "blood and soil" mirror Nazi slogans is to admit that they both lack a basic education and aren't exactly Harvard material...that or they are bigoted liars....

Powerful warning from Judge Luttig, listing Trump's offences like an echo of the Declaration of Independence.

Donald Trump has amassed the powers of a king, J. Michael Luttig writes. He won’t give them up easily.

Dozens of States Sue Trump Administration Over Planned Food Stamp Cuts

Dozens of states just filed a lawsuit to compel the Trump Administration to follow the law and fund SNAP.

Virginia was not among them, thanks to Attorney General Jason Miyares, who once again put his support for Trump above Virginians' wellbeing.

Trump is now threatening to withhold contingency funds for SNAP, which could make millions of Americans go hungry.

Many of those on SNAP are children, seniors, or people with disabilities. Rural communities depend on SNAP.

The Administration must release these funds. 1/

Calif. Republicans' big promised push against Prop. 50 is falling flat Republicans donors appear to have given up on fighting Newsom in California.

An excerpt of George Retes's story.

Example #2: U.S. citizen and Veteran George Retes:

“They broke his window, they pepper sprayed him, they grabbed him, threw him on the floor."

Mr. Retes was wrongfully jailed for three days by Trump's federal agents. Three days.

This is how Trump treats our heroes.

One in eight Americans will struggle to put food on the table if the Trump shutdown extends through next week.

Yet Republicans in Congress are nowhere to be found.

For the past year I've been doing focused reading on medieval literature, English history, the folklore of Scotland and Wales, and I can't express how just learning things changes a person. It will make you more interesting. You will fall in love with this world.

Democrats, stand strong. Stand up for working families like mine who are just trying to stay covered.

People are about to get priced out of healthcare in the richest country on Earth. And yes, I blame Republicans 100% for this mess.

The Fred Trump treatment. Give him a fake job while Miller draws up missile strike plans on fishermen.
