"These breaks come in addition to the roughly $4 trillion package of tax cuts that President Trump signed into law in July..."

Senate update: Republicans are now trying to sneak a backdoor national abortion ban into their government funding bill. Republicans will stop at nothing to control women's health care decisions.

Trump wants health insurance premiums to spike right after he allowed medical debt to adversely affect people’s credit ratings, while rolling out 50 year mortgages.

But he loves you, MAGA. That’s why he’s building that ballroom for you.

A majority of the days the government has ever been shut down, Donald Trump was president. www.howtoreadthisch.art/red-versus-b...

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

"Republicans are keeping the government closed, starving kids, and making you miss your Thanksgiving flights because they want your healthcare costs to go through the roof" is actually a pretty effective message for Democrats

Democrats asked for ONE THING today to reopen the govt: Keep health insurance subsidies where they are at now for one year. That is IT. Nothing else.

Republicans said no.

So all the lies they tell every day about things Dems are asking for is BS.
Republicans OWN this shutdown.

Speaker Johnson is officially keeping the House in recess again next week. This will be the eighth consecutive week the House has been out of session. The chamber hasn't met since Sept. 19. Adelita Grijalva, who was elected on Sept. 23, has not been sworn in.

The loud part out loud

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

And he just stands there...

NYT headline: Judge Orders Trump Administration to Fully Fund Food Stamps This Month The Justice Department later said it would appeal, leaving the program known as SNAP in limbo.

The Trump administration is now literally *fighting* to deny food to 42 million people, more than a third of them children.

Read that again.

How wicked is the Trump presidency? A court just had to order Trump to feed starving people.

Trump taking a victory lap because Walmart made their Thanksgiving meal smaller and crappier (and hence cheaper) is such a perfect encapsulation of his hucksterism

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.

12 days of work in 106 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

SCOTUS TODAY

NEAL KATYAL IS ARGUING FOR SMALL BUSINESSES SCOTUS

TRUMP'S ATTORNEY ADMITS THAT AMERICANS DO PAY THE TARIFFS

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Dick Cheney shot his friend in the face the right way.

I will venmo any reporter $400 to ask trump "what does SNAP stand for"

U.S. citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents about children gathering at bus stop, lawyers say Lawyers for Carlos Jimenez said he was in fear after an agent threatened him with chemical spray, then pointed a gun at him.

US citizen shot from behind as he warned ICE agents children would be coming to get bus, lawyers say

The Trump '60 Minutes' interview appears to be heavily edited

He shut the government down for a month to hide files establishing the extent of his fraternization with the most infamous serial child rapist of the last century, and now he is threatening to invade Nigeria to protect members of a religion he pretends to practice but has never actually belonged to

Johnson sets record refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva for 36 days after she won election | Arizona Mirror Speaker Johnson sets record with 36-day Adelita Grijalva swearing in delay as lawsuit claims constitutional violations

For the rest of the world, the single case of Mike Johnson refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva after her special election win, because Johnson knows her vote will tip the scales for the release of the Epstein files, is enough evidence by itself that the U.S. political system is broken and lawless.

YouTube video by PBS NewsHour Top researchers consider leaving U.S. amid funding cuts: 'The science world is ending'

The United States was the leading destination for top scientists from all over the world.

That is ending. Politicians ended it. It will cripple our future competitiveness.

And it’s such a bitter tragedy. Almost no Americans, Conservative or Liberal, grasp what is now being stolen from them.

Trump Administration Live Updates: Government Ordered to Pay Food Stamp Benefits During Shutdown

So the Trump administration lied to federal courts about its ability, authority, and willingness to continue to fund SNAP because it wanted to spend Halloween and Thanksgiving using hungry kids as pawns.

These people are monsters.

And none are Christian.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

In case you don’t know: the regime has already broken the law to pay for the Pentagon’s payroll. What Johnson is really saying is the regime won’t break the law to feed people.
