it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Signs of Fascism.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.

For the first time in 25 years, Major League Baseball has a repeat champion, and of course it’s California’s own Dodgers.

Congratulations!

It's reassuring that a new-found enthusiasm for nuclear weapons is in the hands of a crooked property developer with dementia and a drunken former presenter on a far-right 'news' channel.

Judges Order Trump to Pay for SNAP, Killing His Shutdown Strategy Two federal judges in different parts of the country ordered the Trump administration to use emergency funds to pay for the nutrition program.

White House officials had refused to fund SNAP from a $5B contingency fund that existed precisely in the event of something like this. trib.al/Y9NOimD

Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Reverse trick-or-treating comes to West Chicago amid the growing presence of immigration enforcement Audrey Luhmann collected about $900 worth of candy in 72 hours to deliver to children around the Timber Lake and Main Park apartments Friday evening.

In light of immigration enforcement operations in the West Chicago area, Audrey Luhmann got together with a team of rapid responders to deliver candy to two area apartment complexes that she said were recently hit by immigration raids.
