How lucky can one family be? Win the presidency and their family business starts booming at exactly the same time!

this is actually one of the least surprising insane things he's done Trump basically turned into Don Quixote because they built a wind farm offshore of his Scottish golf resort, this is one of maybe three things he truly cares about (windmills, tariffs, revenge) of course he told RFK to do this

any effective 2028 platform has to include reigning in, not just tech oligarchs, but the whole industry. they should be able to work unobstructed, but not when it puts society's health and well being at risk. a majority of voters would love to have a referendum on big tech and the harm they cause

I'm not sure making presidential pardons functionally worthless is the smart play here lol

honestly i don't think we're ready as a nation for how unprecedented this disaster is going to be. food banks and mutual aid resource are gearing up to meet demand, but the need will be overwhelming. doing harm is the GOP's MO but this is also about engineering a crisis they hope will cause chaos.

Python Foundation rejects $1.5M grant with no-DEI strings • The Register share.google/Y8IIEmYH6elp...

this would be pretty self serving and threatening to the common man if not for the fact that trump has a terrible track record managing casinos

one of the reasons voters believe the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans is because the democratic party itself believes in the caricatures of the democratic party pushed by republicans

COFFEE PRICES ARE NOW OFFICIALLY UP +50% SINCE AUGUST, DRIVEN BY 50% U.S. TARIFFS ON BRAZILIAN COFFEE AND RECORD DEMAND

I asked Microsoft PR about this—specially the DHS using Halo IP to recruit for ICE—and the company declined to comment.

1. As SNAP benefits expire, 42,000,000 hungry people may turn to the USDA website. Now, the website blames their hunger on transgender people and immigrants. It's a cynical ploy, an an indication that anti-trans measures are a Trump priority for the shutdown. Subscribe to support our journalism.

it certainly hasn't caused him to get a budget passed in PA! pennsylvania has been without a FY budget for 116 days now

usually that's something you say to voters when they realize their SNAP benefits are gone or their ACA health plans are going up 150% or when beef and soybean farmers get shafted. in maria's world, presidential overreach and abuse of power is just the natural outcome of voting for trump again!

As we reported earlier this month, many food banks are already reeling from the Trump administration’s abrupt cancellation of 94 million pounds of deliveries that were already scheduled: projects.propublica.org/trump-food-c...

Dude has a net worth north of **half-a-billion dollars** and will directly benefit from a farm bailout & he's trying to pretend he has to clip coupons to save a buck. The kind of tone deaf comments that Democrats would get crushed for but receive ZERO push back from Republicans.

My man, the stated policy of your administration is that Canada should become an American state, but Canadians running an accurate ad is a threat to American sovereignty?

The Washington Post opinion section is a thing to behold today. (Don't worry, I canceled my subscription, but old habits die hard, and I tend to still navigate to their front page during my news reading in the morning.)

In a nearly illiterate editorial, WaPo defends Trump's ballroom project, without revealing the fact that the paper's owner, Jeff Bezos, is a principal funder of the project. Shameful conduct all around. bsky.app/profile/bgru...

we have a way for guys like this to fund the military it’s called “taxes” and clearly they should go up

The Trump admin says it won’t tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits if the shutdown continues, according to an agency memo That means roughly 42 mil Americans will not receive critical food assistance from SNAP in November

Everyone is fixated on the children’s hospital thing but “children weren’t sick” is by far the more ignorant statement. Children dying used to be horrifically more common, even in America and even in Rob’s time.

Oh wow: "During the fracas, a federal agent fired a pepper round that struck a (UCC) clergyman, Jorge Bautista, near the chin. The impact caked his face and clothing in orange powder. Bautista said the agent shot him in the face from about 5 feet away." "'I’m in a lot of pain,'" Bautista texted…"

don't these guys get some kind of security clearance as a member of the pentagon press pool?

why are they still calling it the "rose garden"? didn't they pave over that?
