I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food.

I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

4 House Republicans have signed the discharge petition on the release of the Epstein files. It would take just one of the 215 other Republicans to join those 4 and all the Dems to reach the needed 218 signatures. Just one. But they’re all afraid of what our Outlaw Prez wd do to them If they signed.

It’s been over 2 weeks since AOC said Stephen Miller was weak and puny. Fox is still talking about it.

a photograph of the interior of a church. Several people are visible sitting in pews. In the pew immediately in front of the photographer, a black human-sized cardboard cutout in the outline of a woman is visible, as though a shadow is sitting in the pew in front of you.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

THIS JUST IN! The Justice Department investigated crimes! I hate our Supreme Court. If it weren't for them, Trump would be in prison right now for January 6th.

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight.

Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

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. That means that roughly...

Choosing not to feed Americans in need is unacceptable.

The Administration knows it can use emergency funds for SNAP payments—it even deleted the memo posted on its website saying it could.

They are choosing to inflict pain on families.

“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so th...

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a man in California wrote.

This really was one of my main takeaways

Seems like an important detail

Pretty wild that the Republican Party apparently now hates Ronald Reagan — and everything he stood for — and is actively trying to destroy his actual legacy.

They said make it great.
Instead, they made it gross.

Donald J. Trump + @realDonald Trump Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the 2020 Presidential Election. These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior! 2.73k ReTruths 7.67k Likes 10/24/25, 22:11

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA

There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

He crazy.

CHUMP'S A TRAITOR........

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Priorities.

Jeffries: "He's found time to demolish the East Wing in the most horrific way possible bc he wants to erect a ballroom so he can be celebrated like a king. He's found time for all of these different things, but somehow can't be bothered to find a dime to extend the ACA tax credits."

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean.

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

The conditions at the Broadview ICE facility are getting worse. This is why we keep coming back.

Our neighbors are not alone. You can join us in demanding transparency + accountability at 1930 Beach Street.

Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast'

10/10 response, no notes

Good evening to all who remember Michelle Obama getting criticized for planting a vegetable garden at the White House.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

If Mr. Art of the Deal really wanted to end the shutdown and cared about federal workers, programs and services, he would be negotiating instead of building a ballroom.

And if he’s too busy with the ballroom, he could allow Thune to do it since Mike Johnson is a useless fool.

We’re sure many of you have seen the video of the protester playing the Star Wars “Imperial March.” He was arrested for no reason. A Washington, D.C., resident who protested while playing the “Imperial March” theme from Star Wars has filed a federal lawsuit against
