Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile title screen

The Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile title screen

A very big Onion announcement:

The Onion has spent the last two months working on a masterpiece.

It's a documentary titled Jeffrey Epstein: Bad Pedophile.

It's so good, in fact, we were set to release it in theatres nationwide on October 2nd.

Then two weeks ago, Charlie Kirk was shot.

Oh god no. Our state is in enough turmoil without adding Marsha to the mix. She will destroy us.

We’ve got enough problems in TN. No need to add this asshole to the mix.

Went to high school with Burchett and can confirm your description of him.

Hopefully you inspire other Democratic leaders to stand up to fascism. I’ve been so disappointed that our leaders are just lying down and taking it.

When a reporter asked him about the missing troops in Lithuania, he claimed he hadn’t been briefed about them.

My congressman lives in fear of standing in front of his Knoxville constituents. Spending a solid hour in a safely red space.

Hey @aoc.bsky.social,
I’ve been begging my former classmate Tim Burchett to come stand in front of his constituents in Knoxville, TN, but he’s refusing. Heard he was even in town yesterday but not a word. We’d LOVE to have you here in his place!

Zelenskyy: "It's not just that the war began somewhere between our countries. The war began when Russia brought this war to our country. They're not right. They didn't respect our territorial integrity. They brought the war to our families. Ukrainians want to hear a position of the US on our side"

Tim Burchett is my Rep. I went to high school with him and know him well. I’ve emailed and called his DC and Knoxville, TN offices to request he hold an in-person town hall. He has no problem jumping in front of cameras so he shouldn’t have a problem standing in front of his constituents.

If only you knew this was going to happen when you were the leader and could’ve done something to prevent it. Ohhh wait …

Elon Musk: "Not officially."

It isn’t that he believes it. He’s performing for the MAGAts who are programmed to believe anything he says.

Then she said — a smidge quieter — she’s just getting a little concerned now because “those people” really don’t like people like her at all (a trans person who just moved to a rural community in East TN). Then she brightened and said it’ll be okay as long as he fixes the economy… /2

At the nail salon today a beautiful woman beside me is talking loudly to her nail tech and to everyone around her. The election comes up and she said she didn’t vote because she really “didn’t know enough about it.” And honestly she didn’t care as long as he fixed the economy. 1/2
