So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

News coverage of this has focused on the pardon of those involved in the fake electors plot.

But the pardon also extends to key figures who participated in the unauthorized breach of voting systems in Coffee County, Georgia

Here’s something you can do that actually helps Democrats and yourself…PREPARE YOUR HOUSEHOLDS AS BEST YOU CAN FOR THE NEXT REPUBLICAN ONSLAUGHT.

I keep seeing sooooo many people that helped get us to this place tell you to do everything but the obvious thing.

The GOP knows people

Trump pardons top allies involved in effort to overturn 2020 election President Donald Trump has issued pardons for numerous allies and alleged co-conspirators in his efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.Justice Department Pardon Attorney Ed Martin posted document...

The President of the United States pardoned 75 criminals that participated in crimes the President himself ordered, and it's not considered the scandal of the century.

And he conveniently did it before Jack Smith testifies.

Having to go on 60 Minutes to defend the concept of public funding for scientific research is WILD.

Publicly-funded science has been THE most successful thing produced in the US for 50+ years.

Like, what next: are we going to have to go on television to plead for the value of literacy & numeracy?

BREAKING:

Trump has just issued pardons to dozens of conservatives who tried to overturn the 2020 election results, including: Mark Meadows, Kenneth Chesebro, Jeffrey Clark, Rudy Giuliani, Sidney Powell, John Eastman, Boris Epshteyn, and more — per pardon attorney Ed Martin.

Trump wants to end the ACA & give money to us in the form of HSA to buy our own insurance.
Multiple issues here, but here’s 3 right off the top:
1. Corporate Greed will cause price gouging with no oversight, or gov’t controls.
2. Pre-existing conditions will no longer be protected as they are now

The voices of SNAP Recipients have become political pawns. They explained, in their own words, what Trump withholding funds has been like.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks.

I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

‘How is this possible?’: a new film looks inside the appalling abuses of the Alabama prison system In the year’s most shocking documentary, The Alabama Solution, prisoners share astonishing footage in a plea for help

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.

State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women

🧵

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.

A young Bob Fletcher who save his neighbors farms when they were taken to Japanese internment camps

🧵While 120,000 Japanese Americans were imprisoned without trial, while their property was stolen and their lives destroyed, while a nation turned its back on its own citizens, one man in a small California town said:

"Not these farms. Not on my watch."

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

Lawless goons. Racial profiling isn’t just something they do, it’s all they do.

BREAKING: The United States economy posts its worst year for layoffs since 2009, with layoffs surging 183% in October compared to September of this year.

If your flight is canceled and you no longer want to take the trip, or have found another way of getting to your destination, the airline is legally required to refund your money, even if you bought a non-refundable ticket. You can thank Pete Buttigeg.

Europeans recognize Zohran Mamdani’s supposedly radical policies as ‘normal’ Critics of New York City’s mayor-elect have said his pledges of free bus service and universal childcare are unrealistic, but in Europe it’s a given

"Europeans recognize his vision about free public transit and universal childcare. We expect our governments to make these kinds of services accessible to all of us,” said Verbeek. “We pay higher taxes and get civilized societies in return."

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

US Army Tells Soldiers to Go to German Food Bank, Then Deletes It The initial 'Shutdown Guidance' for the US Army Garrison Bavaria included instructions to go to German food banks.

NEW: The US Army website for its bases in Bavaria, Germany told its soldiers and employees that it might need to obtain free food from the German government during the US government shutdown.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

Texas Banned Abortion. Then Sepsis Rates Soared. ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis is the most detailed look yet into a rise in life-threatening complications for women experiencing pregnancy loss under Texas’ abortion ban.

Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to our analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%.

(Published February)

Also word around these parts is that a faction of the GOP wants the government to remain shutdown for all of November, possibly even until the New Year.

But these election results might make them change their minds.

Americans want sane, stable leadership that is focused on lowering the cost of living.

People are already fed up with the chaos and corruption of the Trump administration.

Republicans should LISTEN and work with us to reopen government and save the ACA tax credits.

This election is an absolute indictment of Donald Trump’s indifference to the lives of working class Americans.

When working people can get ahead…America is strong 🇺🇸💪!!!

The President who threw a Gatsby-themed party the night before he cut off SNAP benefits is now vowing to break a court order so that he can force millions of children, seniors, and veterans to go hungry.

It's sickening. I won't stand for it. Time to speak up and push back.

Again, really appreciate all the centrist pundits who whitewashed Charlie Kirk's proud legacy of putting teachers in the crosshairs of psychos.
