Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

the tone deafness is beyond parody

FBI: "We didn't zip tie children."

REPORTER: "Here's a photo of a zip tied 14 year old."

FBI" "OK, we didn't zip tie YOUNG children."

The law is clear.

As USDA’s own staff earlier agreed.

And now the law is upheld.

Donald Trump cannot withhold SNAP food assistance to inflict even more pain during his shutdown.

And there it is...

Announcement is made that the US House will be out of session again next week

They haven't voted since mid-September

Trump’s refusal to release $6 billion in SNAP funds is crazy enough.

What makes it even more insane is that Democrats *and* Republicans created this fund PRECISELY FOR SITUATIONS LIKE THIS!

This has nothing to do with the shutdown. It’s illegal, unconscionable, and cruel.

RELEASE. THE. FUNDS.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

This is exactly why they’re dumbing down schools in red states…

Federal judge suggests Trump admin should partially fund SNAP U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said she planned to issue a ruling later Thursday on Democrats’ lawsuit to keep food aid flowing during the shutdown.

A federal judge appeared to lean toward requiring the Trump administration to use emergency funds to at least partially fund SNAP.

U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani said she planned to issue a ruling later Thursday on Democrats’ lawsuit to keep food aid flowing during the shutdown.

By a vote of 51-47, the #Senate passed S.J.Res.88, terminating the national emergency declared to impose global tariffs.

GOP Senators Collins, McConnell, Murkowski, & Paul voted in favor.

Senators Schmitt & Wicker did not vote.

The GOP would rather drag us back into a nuclear arms race than stand up to a demented pedophile squatting in our White House.

I’m speechless, I am without speech

Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin.

Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered.

BREAKING: In a 51-42 vote, the Virginia House advances a measure proposing a constitutional amendment that would allow the state to redraw its congressional map until 2030 “in response to actions taken by another state.”

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.
