Working late on a Friday night to starve children

Any time you mention Mike Johnson (especially to your rep), immediately follow that up with 'motion to vacate'. Throw in 'derelict in his duty' just to spice things up.

Judge orders Trump administration to pay full SNAP benefits for November by Friday The Trump administration recently said it would not pay any SNAP benefits, but then offered partial funding of the food stamp program after a judge's ruling.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the Trump admin to pay full SNAP benefits for November by tomorrow, rejecting the administration’s plan to only partially fund food stamps for 42 million Americans.

Democratic leaders should not rely on litigating their way out of this. Take action now. Arrest these guys. Throw them in jail.

Make *Republicans* file the lawsuits. Make *THEM* argue before a judge or jury why they were justified in kidnapping a preschool teacher in front of her children.

Rationing food means rationing insulin and vice versa and I think that often gets lost in the conversation. (It's also rationing test strips and other single use supplies but that requires a higher character count)

so it turns out that fascism is unpopular

well I for one am shocked that "every aspect of your life gets worse forever and also look at my marble bathroom" did not turn out to be a winning election strategy

Normal people are just sick to fucking death of the cruelty and meanness

Ready to talk about how open enrollment is just more unpaid labor for workers to do every year because we live in a country with for-profit health system.

BREAKING: Trump has just posted on Truth Social indicating he doesn't intend to release SNAP funds until the government reopens, which would defy both a court order and his own administration's comments yesterday.

If Mike Johnson denies he’s heard about this, someone should hold up a poster-sized print out and ask again.

The ease of suppressing votes by getting polling places temporarily closed on election day is a good reason to go to universal vote-by-mail...

I mean, seriously, what would a foreign enemy of the United States do any differently then Trump in trying to cause harm economically, socially and officially to end our Constitutional democracy?

It's not in this article but the government asserts that the sandwich was thrown at "point blank range", which implies subway sandwiches have defined effective weapon ranges of varying lethality, and I would like to see the government's chart of these ranges.

If you've stopped masking in public for whatever reason, now is a really good time to start again

That.

That. Just.

No.

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?"

OK this is the energy I want to see basically all the time from reps. @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social reach out if you're ready to impeach

Mount Pleasant’s sidewalk astronomer might have to leave his home But Gael Gomez wants people to keep looking up — at the sky and in life.

In Mount Pleasant, a tight-knit D.C. neighborhood where immigrants are deeply embedded into the social fabric, the Trump administration’s targeting of migrants has shaken the community.

From @samdelgado.bsky.social, here's one poignant example of the impact this loss is leaving:

Americans are desperate for elected officials to be truthful. Anyone who says these things will be incredibly popular and have the support of vast swaths of voters immediately:

✔️ Trump is a power-hungry tyrant who is actively committing treason.

✔️ Congress must impeach and remove him immediately.
