AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

They caved in March so they could get a better deal now. They’re caving now so they can get a better deal in some indeterminate future. The better deal is always just beyond their reach, but continuing to cave will get them there. And if you don’t agree with that, you don’t understand Politics,

I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago.

Donald Trump has asked his employees on the Supreme Court to overrule lower court orders demanding that he fulfill his duties to feed Americans who are due SNAP benefits

AND

He's demanding that states which just rushed to fill the vacuum created by his cruelty "undo" that work.

it says a lot about the average politician that this guy seems to expect that zohran mamdani only said what he said to get elected and doesn’t actually believe in anything

⭕️ Breaking: Two 16-year-old Palestinian boys were killed after Israeli forces opened fire in the town of Al-Jadra, northwest of Jerusalem, Wafa reports. The Health Ministry identified them as Muhammad Abdullah Taym and Muhammad Rashad Fadl Qasim. Soldiers reportedly fired a heavy barrage of live bullets in the Al-Harah Al-Fuka area near the apartheid wall. Both were killed instantly, and their bodies were seized by the Israeli army. The Israeli military later released a video appearing to show the two throwing an object over the wall.

i still don’t think i’ve seen even close to a single piece of evidence that zohran mamdani is antisemitic beyond him believing children in palestine shouldn’t be killed by israel

The goddamn nerve of Jeff Bezos' newspaper to talk shit about raising the minimum wage at a moment when workers at Jeff Bezos' online superstore -- who are paid so little half of them in one study were on SNAP benefits -- are going hungry.

The fucking arrogance.

Perfect — Trump is touting Walmart’s Thanksgiving basket being cheaper than last year… but it’s because there’s less stuff in it and what’s in it is different and cheaper🤦🏼

@Walmart complicit with Trump lying to Americans 🤝

Jesus I see what you've done for others

Not the Point but it's nice To see that the Affordability Crisis on capital Letters has also been Resolved.

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

No thank you. 🐦

And the present for that matter.

Ok but is that on TikTok though? Hmm?
(Now that I got my sarcasm out: I worry deeply for the future of factual, actionable information.)

They literally ruin everything they touch

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

'Washington Post' editorials omit a key disclosure: Bezos' financial ties Three times in the past two weeks, editorials at the 'Washington Post' failed to disclose that they focused on matters in which owner Jeff Bezos had a material interest.

WTAF! Opening fire with kids in the car!

If this isn’t grounds for termination, nothing will be!

is this good

As Darfur's last city falls, fears grow 'there will be no one left to save' Sudan's army has lost its last foothold of el-Fasher, in Darfur, to the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces. Now warnings are mounting of a second genocide as mass killings unfold before the world.

Awful piece. Just because so many white people are culturally ignorant and don’t know that Aunt, Auntie, Cousin are all terms to describe family members or close friends of our parents - even if that’s not their blood connection. The racism, the desperation, the sheer…..smallness of these attacks!

“mr speaker do you have any concerns about the amount of information your staff is apparently hiding from you” is a pretty obvious question that needs to be asked

Has Mike Johnson ever considered holding his daily presser an hour later to give him time to read a paper?
