@jaketapper.bsky.social what’s happened to you?

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Trump makes it so easy to forget the last catastrophe he created. Remember USAID? “The Lancet estimated that [it] had saved 92 million lives over two decades.” It cost $24 per American per year. Its dismantling has already cost 400k kids their lives. And he thinks he deserves a peace prize.

If we don't test for COVID, then there's no COVID! If there's no flights, then there's no late flights! Brilliant!

Really? You're gonna make me do this one?

Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People.

There you go.

Pope Leo calls for ‘deep reflection’ about treatment of detained migrants in U.S. “Many people who have lived for years and years and years, never causing problems, have been deeply affected by what is going on right now,” Chicago-born pope says.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world:

'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..."

Only Trump is allowed to be mean. 🙄

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

AOC: Trump is a 34 time convicted felon, and he is endorsing a a sexual harasser that has multiple accusations against them. Birds of a feather, you know, they flock together.

Dear Mr. Trump:

If you're amazed a socialist could win the NYC Mayor's Office then just wait for the midterms. America is going to wipe the fucking floor with you!

Waiting for it.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I don't agree with Bernie on everything, but I do agree with him that we need Universal Healthcare. A message that he took across the country in 2015-2016. If you were 18 and went to a Bernie rally then, you're 28 now. If you were 28, you're 38. Life moves fast. It's time to do this. Destroy Trump!

St. Peter at the Pearly Gates: Did you live by the Ten Commandments?

Mike Johnson: I have no idea. I have not seen those

Don't forget: Election Day is TOMORROW in NYC and other parts of the U.S.

I was delighted to speak to @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social about building a more affordable future for New York.

He is getting a new generation of young people excited about politics — and charting a path for Democrats.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Obama: The weird videos of a U.S. President with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet and dumping poop on protesting citizens… All of that is designed to distract you from the fact that your situation has not gotten better.

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."

You were great in the “Life of Chuck”! #IToldYouNotToGoInThere

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

'An Unprecedented Hunger and Health Crisis': How the Big Beautiful Bill Could Devastate Vermont

“People think Medicaid is poor, lazy people skirting the system. But it’s teachers, firefighters, police officers, neighbors. It’s people that are part of the community.”

The Trump regime is turning its back on more than 40 million hungry Americans The administration will not leverage $5 billion in available contingency funds to cover SNAP in November.

"When we turn back the clocks this weekend, the Trump administration will simultaneously turn its back on nearly 42 million people in this country—those who rely on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) to make a warm, healthy meal."

Pete Hegseth just murdered more people and we have to take his word for it that they deserved it.

Excedrin, NyQuil, and Theraflu all have the same drug (acetaminophen) that Tylenol has in it, and yet Trump only doesn't want you to take Tylenol and Paxton is only suing Tylenol.

Same drug, folks. Different trade name.

This isn't about science.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

I’ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling I’d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but I’d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?
