The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

You’ve got to be kidding me

This isn’t very hard, folks.

BREAKING: Mark Wolf, appointed to the federal bench by Ronald Reagan, writes that he is resigning as a judge to have the freedom to speak out against the president's assault on the rule of law. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Yikes. USDA sent threatening letter to states telling them that if they sent out EBT money —which many states did during the window when a lower court said SNAP funds had to be released—they have to take it back (?) Trying to sort out what this means and if states even can claw back the funds

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

Tuberville: “We just saw what happened in NY. We lost NY. It will be completely Muslim in 3-4 years. That’s what they want. And it’s going to spread throughout the country.”

Just naked bigotry, they don't even bother trying to hide anymore

Oh great, a 54 character password that has a bunch of different symbols, several characters that look near identical, and needs to be slowly typed in every time I die or stop playing, I'm sure that won't get annoying at all

BREAKING: The USDA tells states funds will be made available later today to pay November SNAP benefits in full.

Like driving at 60mph and then just, closing your eyes.

New York millionaires: threatening to flee the city since 2009

As someone who can't enjoy a series unless I see the movies/read the books/play the games in order, this kills me.

Past isn't just prologue, is a previous book that's been utterly forgotten.

I'm losing my mind over how many reviewers are like "GDT's Frankenstein makes you wonder who the real monster is." THAT'S THE STORY! That's the story Shelley wrote!

"If you can't explain it in a tweet, you don't understand it" History enjoyers:

Hard to think of anything in media that regularly brings me as much pure joy anymore as the headline in The New York Times' Trilobites section.

This is the most projection-y piece of projection from Trump in a while

Hey this is pretty cool! More "just donate $1 & share" fundraisers, please! (How many people do YOU think could easily & happily give $1 but won't b/c they think their measly dollar wouldn't make a difference? A hundred? A thousand?? Take number--MAKE IT DOLLARS!) www.youtube.com/shorts/2JYDW...

Republicans publicly claimed they wouldn’t cut Medicare. That’s why they did it so sneakily.

Immigration judges with prior immigrant defense work make up the largest share of those fired by the Trump admin. NPR identified 70 fired immigration judges. The changes have at least shifted perception of fairness in these courts My latest investigation: www.npr.org/2025/11/06/g...

It was.

BREAKING: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is illegally closing 13 campus buildings (including ~100 laboratories). Report coming from GESTA, the Goddard employee union

Goddard spacecraft engineer: "I think it just kind of speaks to the atmosphere of the agency and the nation, where people are like, 'Well, laws don't matter for the people at the top anymore.'"

What is happening at Goddard is absolutely devastating. We are losing history. We are losing an incredible amount of human talent, skill, and knowledge. Rebuilding it will be impossible same for same. Industry can not absorb the people or the equipment. This is undoing space science in the US.

Really wish this were true lol

My response to the Gremlins 3 news

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Trump to the Novo Nordisk CEO: "Maybe you should give us a piece of the company like I've been asking for."

Getting new details on this now: As the arrest unfolded, teachers pleaded with the agents telling them the teacher had a work permit. The agents went into multiple rooms looking for teachers while children were present. One teacher hid with a child in her care while the agents stormed the facility.

Gutfeld: Democrats sweep blue states, how is that a surprise? They are blue states. Jessica: Virginia literally has a Republican governor

You don’t say: Fox News personalities discuss how the affordability crisis was a bigger issue for NYC voters than crime

"As Parise worries over her 2-year-old suffering from the effects of a chemical agent deployed by immigration officers, several Chicagoans expressed fears that tumultuous deportation efforts could upend their lives and potentially put children in danger..." www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

Also a surprise upset in St Paul, Minnesota as Kaohly Her, who came to the United States at age 4, becomes the city’s first Hmong (and first Asian) mayor. www.startribune.com/st-paul-mayo...
