*TRUMP LOSES TRIAL OVER POWER TO DEPLOY US TROOPS IN PORTLAND

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

HERO

Just on a personal note, reporting this story broke my heart. Of all the unfathomable things Trump has done this year, putting SNAP recipients through this psychological hell tops the list. My endless gratitude to everyone who spoke to me. To all who who are suffering: I'm so sorry.

“I didn't exactly panic, but here's what was going through my head,” Liz in Wisconsin, 43, who receives SNAP benefits for her and her adult daughter, explained. “We have to eat. This money will not last. What happens in December? What about January? Do I have to make this food last all winter?”

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

#DonaldSlump It'd be a shame if that trended.

18 days later. 🤡

<Whispers> The people who are getting laid off would not have their jobs saved by lower interest rates.

Trump hammering on the filibuster that will not be removed is just another example of being unable to take an L.

Jeffries: "Stefanik is nothing more than a handmaiden for Trump's extreme policies. She's a sycophant. If Elise Stefanik really wants to do something about the cost of living, she should tell her boss, Trump, to end these reckless tariffs which are increasing costs by thousands per year on familie"

Not in Brussels to see this today, but Taiwan's Vice President just delivered a speech at the European Parliament

MSNBC: Where's the urgency to end this shutdown in Washington? JEFFRIES: That's a great question. It should be asked of Mike Johnson. Where's the urgency in actually bringing the House back into session? They have canceled votes for the last 6 weeks.

Nice to see the Australian consul general in Hong Kong stepping up to support the HK pride parade via their Facebook page - HongKongers do love a dress up… might be a bit cool for hot pants and arseless chaps in late November but we can hope 🌈

Building a behemoth on the back of public subsidies, incentives, tax and carbon credits really paid off.

Trump's latest pardons: "The former speaker was sentenced in September to 36 months in federal prison on wire fraud, conspiracy to commit money laundering, using fake names to carry out a fraud and money laundering charges earlier."

What a queen

i’d say “king shit” but this level of petty feels more befitting a queen

Honestly TELL THE STORY. Won’t someone just tell the fucking story of how Brexit created this economic hardship, how a Muslim immigrant just saved the lives of those commuters on that train, won’t someone in politics or even media just connect the fucking dots and TELL THE STORY. IT’S RIGHT THERE

BREAKING: The United States economy posts its worst year for layoffs since 2009, with layoffs surging 183% in October compared to September of this year.

I don't know what is more depressing. That the BBC seems to have no clue what democratic socialism is or that someone who comments on politics for a living thinks it's the same as communism. Jesus wept, indeed. GCSE, Introduction to Politics, Chapter 1, stuff.

Dissonance. 🇺🇸

“.. They may not sound as sexy as a governor’s race, but these are the elections most connected to local communities and reflective of how regular people are feeling there.” @jbendery.bsky.social @deanbaker13.bsky.social www.huffpost.com/entry/democr...

CNN: "A brand new report is out showing layoff announcements hit their highest level for October in over 20 years. It's painting a picture of a job market that is really hurting. US-based employers announced 150,074 job cuts in October, more than any October since 2003."

Why did I block this guy again? Oh that's why.

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

Like you I am celebrating Tuesday's victories. However, my job is not to sugarcoat things and tell you it's all fixed. It is to warning about what to expect next and fight back. That is why I wrote this and why I hope you read and share. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/what...
