The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

The secretive donor circle that lifted JD Vance is now re-writing MAGA’s future.

With significant funding from tech leaders, the Rockbridge Network is gearing up to deploy its arsenal in the 2026 midterms and in the 2028 presidential contest. https://wapo.st/47WxsRc

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Government shutdown threatens to delay home heating aid for millions of low-income families Millions of low-income families may face delays in receiving home heating aid due to the ongoing federal government shutdown.

So no health care. No food. Now no heat?

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Why Satmar Hasidic leaders endorsed Zohran Mamdani as mayor, stunning many Jewish voters The Satmar Hasidic community’s endorsement of Zohran Mamdani for NYC mayor shows the broad coalition built by the democratic socialist and Muslim.

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?"

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

He chose the patterns and then assisted me throughout.

With inflation rising, unemployment up, and families struggling to get ahead… Trump has decided he will not continue funding SNAP at all, though he has the discretionary funds to do so.

I want to force a vote to make it happen and keep food benefits active.

Things are so mean-spirited right now, this made me tear up. In the gratuitously cruel age of Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and Mike Johnson, it's comforting to be reminded that there still are decent human beings that walk amongst us. Thank you, Heretic Coffee in Portland.

β€œDysfunctional government” doesn’t even begin to describe this.

1.4 million civilian federal employees didn’t get a paycheck. And the part no one’s talking about: even if the government reopens tomorrow, we’ll be right back on the edge by November 21β€”the next shutdown deadline.

Chaos on repeat.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

California Republicans retreat as anti-Prop 50 campaign collapses Opponents of the Democratic gerrymander start casting blame for defeat at the ballot.

Republicans appear to have all but abandoned their efforts to defeat a Democratic gerrymander of California’s House districts one week before it goes before voters.

As Democrats pummel the state with Yes on 50 advertising, the Republican side of the battle has gone quiet.
