I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

This lawsuit, which demands that the House of Representatives finally seat Rep. Adelita Grijalva, has, um, fairly major implications for our democracy's survival in 2026 and beyond. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

What could go wrong?

I’m skeptical that a court can or will do this, but i think it has to be tried, because the GOP has descended to full lawlessness, and we don’t have any kind of government if the majority party can just refuse to recognize others.

🚨BREAKING: The State of Arizona filed a lawsuit accusing House Speaker Mike Johnson of violating the Constitution by refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. The plaintiffs argue that Johnson’s delay has deprived hundreds of thousands of Arizonans of representation.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

This is bad. Very bad.

Battery plants can create advanced manufacturing jobs, help the US compete economically with China, diversify global supply chains, improve grid resilience & provide domestic supplies for automakers. So naturally the DOE is clawing back funding for them.

Petro y Trump, impredecibles y muy proclives a fijar posturas a golpe de redes sociales, han chocado prácticamente sin tregua en los nueve meses en que han coincidido en el poder. Estos son los cinco momentos más críticos entre los presidentes: dozz.es/kcfuk5

As the US faffs about with declining fossil fuels, China has leapt forward to become the uncontested global leader in clean energy -- and not just on the cheap labor/commodity side, either. They're beating us on research, startups, & patents. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Aden Ng has published a deep dive video about AltNPS (& AltYello), the dangers of their money grabs, & how your personal data may be at risk. With background info from @drsturg.bsky.social book, We Are #AltGov, & current watchdog @altwatcher.bsky.social adding context, this is quite informative.

Dramatic photos show construction equipment tearing into the East Wing façade and windows, though the federal agency that oversees such projects has not approved President Trump's 90,000-square-foot, $250 million ballroom. n.pr/48AUON2

Hmm… We'll see. Looks to me like gaslighting; wrapped in threats of extreme Trump carnage to our government and economy; tied up with a ribbon and bow of delusional thinking. We'll see. White House economic advisor Hassett says shutdown could end this week www.cnbc.com/2025/10/20/trump...

Lordy I hope he's better at economics than he is at politics. I doubt it though. "Kevin Hassett, the White House economic adviser, speculated on Monday that Democrats had been reluctant to reopen the government ahead of “No Kings” protests." www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Trump has little to insulate him now. Vought is not some temporary White House employee who’s dabbling in the art of sabotaging the government before he returns to his “job” as the world’s richest man. According to the president himself, he is the Grim Reaper personified. trib.al/J3VF3mU

AWS is being hit by a major outage, which you can learn from going to popular health status dashboards like CNN, Financial Times, or RobloxDb. Interestingly, not, yknow, the actual AWS health status dashboard.

Shockingly, the facts do not support the Trump administration’s claims about its lethal strikes in the Caribbean. www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/1...

Sam Rivers, the bass player and founding member of the metal band Limp Bizkit, has died at 48. The band described Rivers as “the pulse beneath every song, the calm in the chaos, the soul in the sound.” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/19/a...
