Rosen: And on Halloween weekend, in the middle of a shutdown where they’re defunding SNAP, where children will go hungry—millions of them—they are gluttonously eating and partying and laughing at their voters, laughing at what they can do to screw the American people.

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

Schiff: "The president -- 'I'm going out to play golf.' One thing that is so shocking to me is that they're appealing to the Supreme Court for the right to cut off food from people. Who does that? Who works so hard to cut food from people who need it right now? The cruelty is part of the policy."

Trump Administration Demands States ‘Undo’ Work to Send Full Food Stamps

Wow! The lengths Trump will go to just to make Americans starve. His administration has ordered states to “immediately undo” any steps taken to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families.

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.

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.

Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

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.

So Trump's plan is just to keep telling Americans that they're actually wrong about the economy, that inflation is down, grocery prices are down, and that we're actually living in a golden age. Proceed, Donald...

Democratic women have made history tonight:

Abigail Spanberger will be the first female governor of Virginia.

Mikie Sherrill will be the first female Democratic governor of New Jersey.

I’m looking forward to seeing these strong, dedicated leaders deliver a bright future for their states. 🎉

DAILY REMINDER: Donald Trump is starving 42 MILLION Americans by withholding SNAP benefits.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

A 2020 study found that Amazon—which shares owner Jeff Bezos with The Washington Post—is one of the largest employers of people on SNAP.

Federal weather data is gutted and people will pay with their lives. Killing surface observations in North Carolina and Maryland is sabotage of public safety.

CNN Speaker Johnson I don’t know montage

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:

I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Good morning, Bluesky.

It’s so blah out that I’m going to share a photo from the magnificent Amy Sherald show that opened yesterday at the BMA, a painting whose title was inspired by the Baltimore poet Lucille Clifton.
