REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Republicans think denying food to poor people is a smart strategy because Democrats care more about the poor than Republicans do. Consider what that says about Republicans.

"If we had a contingency fund."

You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

UPDATE: Trump’s crypto pardon delivers immediate payback On Monday, Popular Information reported on President Trump’s October 23 pardon of Binance founder Changpeng Zhao, known as CZ, who pled guilty to violating anti-money laundering laws.

1. On October 23, Trump pardoned CZ, the founder of Bianance. CZ had pled guilty to willfully violating anti-money laundering laws. His conduct, according ot the DOJ "allowed money to flow to terrorists, cybercriminals, and child abusers.”

A week later, Trump is getting his payback.

Gov. Pritzker on Federal agents swarming a Halloween parade in Chicago:

“Don't believe it when they tell you that they're busting the worst of the worst, gangs, or gang members. They're attacking peaceful neighborhoods and terrorizing kids in Halloween parades.”

Trump is pushing private equity and crypto into YOUR 401(k) – putting your retirement savings at risk.

These shadowy markets lack strong guardrails to keep your money safe.

We can’t let Wall Street gamble with Americans’ hard-earned savings.

Where the hell is the pushback and accountability for these lying POS?

Who gives a fuck?

This infuriates me. While breast cancer is much more rare among men, they DO get it. I have a friend who's a male breast cancer survivor. Making people starve/die bc political ideology is what fascists do. #BreastCancerAwareness

Let me be very clear. It is not enough that RFK Jr. was forced to admit today that no causal relationship between Tylenol and autism has been shown.

We know that while disinformation spreads like wildfire on social media, corrections most often die on the vine.

USDA Quietly Deletes Its Contingency Plan for Funding SNAP — NOTUS The 55-page “lapse of funding” document for USDA is no longer available online.

Congress has provided a contingency plan for SNAP to keep the program going for years in case of a shut down. The USDA sneakily took the plan down. Now blue states are suing to continue benefits for their constituents.
Where is the money going?

Sanctions Lifted on a Putin-Backed Autocrat After Lobbying by Trump Allies

NEW: The Trump administration quietly lifted sanctions on Wednesday against the Putin-backed Serbian leader Milorad Dodik after an intensive campaign on his behalf by Trump allies including Rudy Giuliani, Mike Flynn, Laura Loomer & high-priced lobbyists.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

This is how our government has been corrupted:

1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat

We must get big money out of politics.

It is the root of our dysfunction.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has now been waiting 36 days to be sworn in to office — setting a new record that any member of Congress has had to wait following a special election.

Mamdani’s family moved to NYC when he was seven, went to grade school & high school there. He literally represented Astoria in the state assembly for years. I think he’s figured it out by now.

The message couldn’t be clearer: if accountability won’t protect Trump, use force. That’s an explicit call to substitute power for process. A former National Security Advisor advocating extralegal authority to shield a political leader is not defending the Constitution; it's an attempt to replace it

The weaponization of the justice system is escalating - with the DoJ now acting openly and aggressively as the regime’s instrument to go after the political opposition.

It’s not a consolidated autocracy yet. But this most definitely isn’t rule of law either.

The US Is Storing Migrant Children’s DNA in a Criminal Database Customs and Border Protection has swabbed the DNA of migrant children as young as 4, whose genetic data is uploaded to an FBI-run database that can track them if they commit crimes in the future.

yep. this DOJ added approx. 133,000 migrant children, some as young as 4 yrs old, into the Combined DNA Index System (CODIS)

ICE and CBP Agents Are Scanning Peoples’ Faces on the Street To Verify Citizenship Videos on social media show officers from ICE and CBP using facial recognition technology on people in the field. One expert described the practice as “pure dystopian creep.”

New: Videos show ICE/CBP agents are scanning peoples' faces on the street to verify citizenship. ICE has tool to instantly look up unprecedented number of databases with just a photo

“I’m an American citizen so leave me alone”

“Alright, we just got to verify that”

Trump administration uses misleading videos to portray chaos, push deportations Official videos purporting to show the triumph of recent immigration operations used footage that was years old or recorded thousands of miles away, a Washington Post analysis found.

Scoop: The Trump admin's videos boasting triumphs on immigration have used misleading footage from months ago or thousands of miles away

When we showed them the errors, DHS said they make a lot of videos and the White House said it'll keep making "banger memes"

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

This story is insane. A man who posted a meme of Trump saying “we have to get over it” in a discussion about the CK shooting has been in jail for 2 months with a $2M bond. Meanwhile, the man who actually threatened to kill Hakeem Jeffries is out on bail.

The Trump Media & Technology Group, which controls the social media platform, on Tuesday announced it would partner with Crypto.com to introduce “Truth Predict”, which would allow users “to react instantly to developments in major current events”.  Crypto.com previously donated $11mn to Trump causes. Earlier this year the Securities and Exchange Commission closed an investigation into the company, and on Friday, it announced that it applied for a US bank charter. In August, TMTG also signed a multibillion-dollar deal to buy Cronos, the tokens issued by Crypto.com, which sent their price soaring. “For too long, global elites have closely controlled these markets — with Truth Predict, we’re democratising information and empowering everyday Americans to harness the wisdom of the crowd, turning free speech into actionable foresight,” said Devin Nunes, TMTG’s head.

Excuse me? So the company the President currently owns is teaming up with a cryptocurrency company to create a prediction market, which will take bets... on things the President himself has quite a lot of control over?

Gosh, I'm sure nothing bad will happen.
