Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

My daily login to ConnectEBT. My usual drop date is just a few days away, and future benefits are usually listed around the last week of the previous month. This is how it's looked for the past two weeks. Way to go, Ohio GOP. Heartless bastards.

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

Happy birthday to Rebecca Romijn, who plays Number One (Una Chin-Riley) on #StarTrekStrangeNewWorlds, having first played her on #StarTrekDiscovery and in a couple of Short Treks.

Really? You're gonna make me do this one? Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People. There you go.

ATTN: If you were on the Sandwich Guy jury and you'd like to chat, my Signal is in my bio. I'll keep you anonymous! Please share this post!

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

📽️ WATCH: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland. Trump justified the deployment of National Guard troops by calling the city "War ravaged," with an ICE office under siege. That's not what we found. 🔗 Full story: https://propub.li/43fRCmF

I'm wondering if the GOP Reps are as fed up with TrumpCo and Speaker Johnson as is whispered behind the scenes, who's got the spine to step up and file a Motion to Vacate so they can elect a new speaker and bypass this bullshit? All it takes as one. I feel the dominoes are set to unseat Johnson.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning. This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

The woman in this video had just had kidney surgery.

This is brilliant

The next few months need to resemble the 2017 fight to save the ACA. In the end, we won. Call Congressmembers, confront them at town halls, offices, airports & fundraisers. Hold events so Congressmembers look really bad for being afraid of constituents.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670 Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy? You’re doing their dirty work.

Happy Halloween!

HOW CAN WE AFFORD TO INVADE VENEZUELA IF THERE'S NO MONEY FOR SNAP???

@amyactonoh.bsky.social I just made my SECOND political donation of my life to your campaign this morning. I'm a disabled Ohioan living now on SSDI and SNAP. Even with a meager income now, I was compelled this morning to help as I can right now to turn the tide in our country. Go get 'em, Doc!

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

MAGAt made it through my blockade. They make it soooo easy to Mute and Block. I won't even engage in their stupidity any longer...they won't ever listen to reason.

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

In case facts still matter

Tim Walz: "People are gonna be lined up out here to get food, and we're talking about a damn ballroom. Don't lose the plot."

And I'm one of those caught in the middle with NO SNAP assistance in November. Thanks to my GOP senators and my GOP Representative (who's under investigation regarding the Nazi-modified American Flag in his staffer's office) for NO HELP! All of you were elected to support your constituents!

That's no moon...

Now try and tell me that this was suicide.... convince me....... www.fox26houston.com/news/man-fir...

Why do I feel like it's time to re-watch V is for Vendetta? No reason. Just 'cause.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

heh heh heh hope our uninvited guests enjoy this www.cbsnews.com/chicago/news...

Wait until he hears that Reagan didn't trust the Russians.

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Next up, a "renovation" of Capitol Hill and the Supreme Court building. "Pave paradise, put up a parking lot..."

Oh, gods no!

I guess people had short memories.

All I can see is the Robot Chicken version of M. Night Shaymalan popping up from stage left, saying his catchphrase: "Ooh, what a twist!" The horror...the horror...

I can’t make a living writing any type of media but the people who can’t afford to pay me to write the media can still make billions a year selling the media they can’t afford to pay me to write.

Only a few hours left!

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

I've been questioning this for weeks: What DOES Mike Johnson know? I want a reporter to do a follow-up question of this sarcastically: "Speaker Johnson, is there anything you DO know?"
