A federal judge said the federal government blew its chance to pay partial SNAP benefits and now must pay them in full. "USDA refused to use the congressionally mandated contingency funds.

#nokings rockin' it in Rockville MD! And our Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov spoke to the crowd.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and we’re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so we’ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

Stand up for your rights, your freedoms, your community. Stand against Trump's authoritarianism. Join us on 10/18 - NoKings.org.

Tonight in “war ravaged” Portland… a frog brigade standing guard outside the ICE facility. Trump says there’s “nowhere worse than Portland”… and the frogs magically multiply. They’re showing that he’s not only a liar, but Portland is still safe, still weird and still full of people resisting.

Big picture: Across ABC, YouTube and many social media platforms, Jimmy Kimmel's monologue about free speech in America has reached TENS of millions of people, and the view counts are still rising.

There is no more unctous a toady in the Trump administration than fussy speech police officer Brendan Carr and it is a high bar. But this thirsty factotum manages to clear the bar easily.

From performative Mr. Free Speech to tiresome unctuous toady

Taking out Colbert and Kimmel isn’t so much about what they said as demonstrating their power to do so

Bob Iger, Disney and ABC should be ashamed of fheir decision to take Jimmy Kimmel off the air. You are bowing to the Trump revime's trampling of the 1st amendment. You are rolling out the red carpet for thos authoritarian regime! www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

So much for the first amendment.

The Democratic Party Isn't Coming to Save Us: @tarabuss.bsky.social lays out how MAGA is rigging 2026 today, why resistance must start now, and how the left can speak to its values. Full episode here: 🔗 substack.tcspod.com or youtu.be/sK7-kIDqFd0?... #PoliticalStrategy #TheCampaignStrategist

MAGA has a 24/7 hate-fueled writers’ room. So what are we doing? New episode with messaging maven Anat Shenker-Osorio on messaging that matches the moment—and moves people to action. Listen substack.tcspod.com or Watch youtu.be/K2cCvwBGpAo #NarrativeStrategy #CampaignStrategy #Podcast

Ghislaine Maxwell should not be able to take classes, watch tv, or play sports in prison, but she can, now that Trump mover her to a minimum security prison camp.

I love the framing - wind farms are a middle finger to climate pollution - terrific!

Hermm

Just to reiterate: What this administration is doing right now is orders of magnitude more dangerous for academic freedom and free speech than anything the right has spent the last 30 years complaining about.

So the offer is that a thousand victims of the Epstein-Maxwell child rape ring and trafficking operation should have the only shred of accountability for the horrors inflicted upon them taken away so MAGA forgets they want the files? With a BS claim of Trump's innocence on the side, no doubt.

Netanyahu is a monster, perfectly comfortable starving children, women and men to perpetuate the conflict protecting him from accountability. Clearing a people out by starving them to death is genocide. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/w...

Maxwell participated in and engineered a child rape ring. She's no victim.

Just sayin' - destroying clean energy manufacturing and jobs that reduce climate change, eliminating climate science and research, and helping polluters destablize our climate even more IS right up there with the worst things in our world.

Elon Musk casually, and illegally, dismantled USAID. According to a new study in the Lancet, that action will lead to *14 million* premature deaths between 2025 and 2030. Again: Elon Musk is directly responsible for 14 million coming deaths. 4.5 million will be children.

FACT CHECK: FALSE & MISLEADING. The GOP's bill is the largest tax cut for BILLIONAIRES AND THE ULTRA WEALTHY in American history. Hardworking Americans deserve to KNOW THAT THEY'RE GETTING LEFT BEHIND.

Dems treat digital like Nike: show up right before the vote. GOP? More like car dealers — show up early, often, and build trust. Nick Ahamed breaks it down on The Campaign Strategist. 🎧 substack.tcspod.com #CampaignStrategy #DigitalStrategy #NikeVsCarDealers #PoliticalComms #DemsVsGOP
