The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I have a very bad feeling about this...

I didn't know it was THAT kind of gym!

Day drinking again?

Not true!

Some of them were instead late for their "dates" with twelve year old girls.

It's spelled "That thar" week; and Talk Like a Pirate Day was yesterday.

I admit that when these people started calling themselves "originalists" I thought they meant slavery, not polio and diphtheria epidemics.

When I look at my blue sky feed, I notice that about 80% of the posts are pictures of text.

I guess everybody else hates the 300-character limit as much as I do.

So the right turn signal is a little arrow pointing to the left, and the left signal is a little arrow pointing to the right, and I'm left wondering if anybody in that company actually looked at the design before they started mass producing them.

I was riding behind a Mini car today, and noticed the turn signals. They've got that British theme going, so they split the Union flag down the middle and modeled the turn signals after each half.

You are not alone in this problem.

Congress Has “Moral Obligation” to Impeach Alito, Thomas, AOC Says in Speech “Corruption, without consequence, infects all it touches,” Ocasio-Cortez said.

It's amazing how wearing the Family Drama is.

My amendment requires that ICE assign an agent to ensure that Pete Hesgeth washes his hands after using the bathroom.

I'm going to try and communicate with my Republican colleagues in a new way.

Corporate journalism must change or die.

The first changes need to be small—or change won't start at all.

A good first step: correctly report that Mamdani is a democratic socialist and REFUSE TO PUBLISH any claim that he's a Socialist or Communist because that's false and therefore not newsworthy.

A good constructive job, maybe it will keep them from their life of crime.

Jeannie broke the plane again.

We're passing SLC and the Captain just announced that the lavs aren't flushing and we may have to divert due to mounding. Cabin service is suspended to try to reduce passenger fluid intake and passengers have been advised to cross their legs and clench really hard.

Not an original point but worth saying again - there is not a single element in this picture that identifies any of these folks as law enforcement agents. No badges, no uniforms, no vests. Out of context it just looks like a bunch of random guys are kidnapping a mayoral candidate.

"Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses [...] the Marine Corps [...] as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."

I’m standing up for all of us this weekend. There will be a location near you to do the same. Get out there. It’s time.

The people who believe this stuff, they're not the sharpest tools in the shed. Don't expect too much from them in the way of critical thinking skills.

@mayor.lacity.gov Today your LAPD shot two reporters and kicked and beat a man lying on the ground and trampled him with their horses. Care to comment?

Are these the same ones who think Biden is a robot?

Australia's right to make this transfer is called "habeas corpus".

That seems odd. All I can think of is that maybe they didn't want me choosing an exit row, and went overboard? Why are deaf people not allowed to choose their seats?

When I bought a plane ticket and ticked the "Disability assistance - hard of hearing" box and then went on to seat selection, it offered to let my wife choose a seat, but said that for me seat selection was "unavailable". When I went back and unticked the box, it let us both choose a seat.
