Dr. Paul Farmer believed the moral test of our actions is whether they serve the most vulnerable.

complete batshit insanity

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked.

Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

A former sheriff’s deputy has been in jail over a month after he was arrested (a judge signed the warrant) because local law enforcement didn’t like a meme he shared on Facebook in response to Charlie Kirk’s death, showing Donald Trump saying, “we have to get over it,” 24 hrs after a school shooting

Trump administration won’t use contingency fund to pay November food stamp benefits | CNN Politics The US Department of Agriculture says it will not tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits next month, according to an agency memo obtained by CNN.

The Trump admin says it won’t tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits if the shutdown continues, according to an agency memo

That means roughly 42 mil Americans will not receive critical food assistance from SNAP in November

Rep. Nancy Mace is sending a clear message to every constituent who isn’t Christian: you don’t matter.

We believe every life deserves protection — regardless of religion.

Mace only seems to care about protecting Christians. That’s Christian nationalism.

Mike Johnson is now pretending that it's Rep-Elect Grijalva who is not doing her job, when he's the one shirking his duties.

And even *he* knows this is bullshit. He corrects himself to call her "Rep-Elect" not "Rep" because he actually understands there's a very important difference.

Holy shit! That motherfucker TORE DOWN THE WHITE HOUSE!

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

The same people who lost their minds over renovations to Cracker Barrel are totally fine with the White House getting bulldozed

CZ pleaded guilty to a criminal money laundering charge and was sentenced to prison.

But then he financed President Trump’s stablecoin and lobbied for a pardon.

Today, he got it.

If Congress does not stop this kind of corruption, it owns it.

Thinking about this from a U.S. perspective: If our neighbors have been ripping us off — as Trump insists — then not trading with them must be good for the United States. But when you actually write that down and spend a moment thinking about it, it sounds like an utterly absurd economic strategy 🤔

He’s so “busy.” What is he doing?

Here’s what he’s told us he’s NOT doing.

-reading/watching the news
-negotiating with Dems
-developing a strategy to end the govt closure
- learning the details of the health “plan” he insists Republicans have
-drafting/pushing legislation

What’s left?

Doechii is EXACTLY who she thinks she is.

I love her

Trump administration live updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing

The government may be shut down, but Trump is still managing to get some work done in Washington—like illegally demolishing an entire wing of the White House to build himself a ballroom.

Lifting a finger to lower your health care costs?

Not so much.

Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

BREAKING:

Jack Smith is requesting that Congress and the Justice Dept. let him testify in public.

In new letters to the House and Senate Judiciary Committees, Smith says he wants to testify "in open hearings" because of "the many mischaracterizations" around his investigations.

"Well, I don't think we're gonna necessarily ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. Okay? We're gonna kill them. You know, they're gonna be, like, dead. Okay? Yeah."

Trump has abandoned even the pretext of following the law.

Missouri’s 1st District needs a representative who will answer to the people of St. Louis, not a bought-off politician who waits for permission.

I'm running for Congress to fight for the survival of our families, not the interests of billionaires.

In St. Louis, costs continue to rise while many families struggle to afford the basics.

As your Congresswoman, I'll focus on lowering costs and putting more money in your pocket.
