Legendary US musician Carol Kaye played on 10,000 famous recording, including Beach Boys' hits, La Bamba, Mission Impossible Theme etc etc and was one of the most in-demand session players of the 1960s #womensart

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

Firing an entire federal arts commission to clear the path for your own triumphal arch? It’s a textbook indicator of authoritarian executive overreach — the exact trend we warned about in our assessment. #authoritarianism #DemocraticDecline #SteadyStateAssessment

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.

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

This incident is spreading through Chicago running circles. A 67 year old man, driving back from a long run with his friends, is pulled from the car and thrown to the ground by ICE (or BP?) agents because he did... something. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWAw...

The Founders knew Congress - especially the House - was the backbone of U.S. democracy. It should be a huge story that Mike Johnson, serving Trump, has all but shut it down From the Reichstag Fire to Putin's toothless Duma, this is what dictators do. My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

More than 100 former top Justice Dept officials, including dozens of former prosecutors, file court brief opposing James Comey's prosecution: "not the judgment of an impartial prosecutor, but rather an expression of retributive animus by the President" washingtonlitigationgroup.org/news/over-on...

This is what corporations should be doing to face this moment!! 🤝 Door Dash now we just need you to pay employees their fair share.

Guess it wasn’t about the price of things for the MAGA folks. Otherwise they would be screaming their fucking heads off with the prices today. Yes, it’s a cult of hypocrisy.

So while even Josh Hawley is willing to bring a bill to the floor to make sure the most vulnerable don’t starve, Thune wants to use hunger as leverage to force a Dem surrender.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children. This is so heartbreaking 💔

MADISON, Wis. (AP) - Wisconsin Planned Parenthood resumes offering abortions after a nearly monthlong pause.

“.. China’s never going to give up its leverage on rare earths,” said Dexter Roberts, a nonresident senior fellow at the Atlantic Council’s Global China Hub. “That would be sheer stupidity on their part.” @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The Fed’s job is like driving a car. Today: Normalize rates to neutral, then watch the data. Next? Tariffs could reignite inflation (brake!), but there are hints of a sharp slowdown (hit the gas!). Plot twist: With no dashboard data, you can’t tell if you’re heading downhill—or off a cliff.

Via Amy Nixon: The top 10% of American households own 87% of all stocks, nearly 85% of all private businesses and 44% of Real Estate Another way of looking at this: The bottom 90% increasingly don’t matter in official economic data #EconSky

I believe this as well. His behavior is simply too erratic and illogical and rife with delusions of grandeur.

www.msn.com/en-us/politi... I bet trump knew all this, at least his crooked attorneys did. In the old west you robbed a bank and then chased off to Indian Territory so the law couldn't follow you. trump . . .

They aren’t elected to govern. They are elected to do the bidding of their donors.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

SNAP, the country's largest anti-hunger program, dates back to the Great Depression and has never been disrupted this way. Most recipients are seniors, families with kids, and those with disabilities.

📌 Kudos Rachel Maddow for breaking this down for us 🐥

PROBLEM!

More Proof That Everything Chump Touches Dies.......

Let this sink in… “At least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.” 📌 The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

Gee, I can’t imagine why…
