I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

He shut the government down for a month to hide files establishing the extent of his fraternization with the most infamous serial child rapist of the last century, and now he is threatening to invade Nigeria to protect members of a religion he pretends to practice but has never actually belonged to

Just tied a record high in Denver - 78° at 11a at DIA. Likely gonna crack 80° today, wild for early November. #COwx

We live in the richest country in the world, and our billionaire president has to be forced by a court of law to feed our people.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT? Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money. It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Utah. Mother of 4. Here since 2007.

Obama: I believe in an America where we don't fear each other. But look out for each other. And if we want that story to continue. If we believe in that better story. We need leaders who believe in it too.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

OBAMA: “It’s like every day is Halloween… I will admit it’s even worse than I expected — but I did warn y’all. Check the tape.”

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

WTF. Everyone, cameras out. Get it all on video.

Advocates: ICE kept Durango family in windowless room with only chips and water after mistaking father for someone else

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

Community stepping up

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

It’s Halloween, but the only thing spooky here is the way Republicans are abandoning the American people.

Go over to Pete Buttigieg Substack site an input your new health insurance premiums.

Trump: "When you're talking about SNAP, when you look, it's largely Democrats. They're hurting their own people."

Joe Scarborough, who made a trip to Mar-a-Lago after the election last year, gets extremely (and somewhat bizarrely) defensive when a guest accuses Trump of engaging in sex crimes with Epstein.

(Miami Herald) - The Trump Administration has made the decision to attack military installations inside Venezuela and the strikes could come at any moment, sources with knowledge of the situation told the Miami Herald .. @miamiherald.com www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Buttigieg: Jack Ciattarelli knows that standing up for New Jersey would require standing up to Trump, and he doesn't have the backbone to do that. He says he agrees with everything Trump has been doing, gives him an A grade. How can you look at an attack on New Jersey and give it anything but an F?

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over. If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

Q: SNAP has never out of funding in its history. Why were past administration able to find funding to keep it afloat during a shutdown & you can't? ROLLINS: Under Joe Biden, you see an almost 30% increase in the cost of the SNAP program. The goal of these program is to move families into real work

Brooke Rollins calls food stamps "an extremely corrupt program"

Speaker Johnson: “If we had a contingency fund for SNAP we’d use it.” REALITY: There is one, Trump literally just deleted it off the USDA site 🤷🏼 More: www.notus.org/trump-white-...

BREAKING: Furloughed employees at CDC just received an email about the shutdown, but has REMOVED language about backpay that appeared in a similar email sent out a month ago. On the left is the Oct 1st email with the backpay language, on the right is the email they received today.

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD. Actually and literally.

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

"Has democracy unraveled in America? And if so, what can leaders on both sides of the aisle do to save it?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=ou2K... @petebuttigieg.bsky.social Pete Buttigieg. Trevor Noah.

Yikes…

When we were deployed, some Afghans risked their lives to help us. Now Trump wants to send them out to be killed by the Taliban. It’s a disgrace, a betrayal, and a decision that endangers future US troops.

When you can’t pay your bills. When you skip physicals and stretch your prescriptions. When your kids don’t have enough to eat and you can’t afford to turn on the heat and there are soldiers in your streets… Remember these faces. Suffering brought to you by the compromised, callous, twisted GOP

Killing people on the open seas without a declaration of war is mass murder.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

I don't want to add to your stress, but I share these videos because it's vital that everyone understand the threat we face. We need to make sure everyone knows & pushes back. What can we do? A. VOTE B. VOLUNTEER(It's empowering) C. SHARE/SPEAK OUT D. CALL CONGRESS at 202-224-3121 #ICELawlessness

The Pentagon has ordered the National Guard to create “quick reaction” forces in every state and territory by January that are trained and equipped to respond to riots and civil unrest within the U.S., according to internal Defense Department memos. - WSJ

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

This is next level authoritarianism.👇 "Following the suspension of two career prosecutors, the U.S. Department of Justice quietly revised a sentencing memo in a high-profile case — removing all references to the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, and President Donald Trump’s social media post."

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

The White House has fired all six members of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts, the independent federal agency that reviews design plans for monuments, memorials, coins and federal buildings. n.pr/4ntG3PR

Protesters swarmed an ICE facility in Durango, CO demanding two children detained with their father be released to their mother. Durango Police say they also offered to help reunite the kids with their mother. They were unsuccessful.

A Bos. Globe investigation found Trump’s DEA falsely claimed “200 high-level Sinaloa cartel arrests” in August, used to justify his escalating war in Latin America. In reality, agents arrested addicts, shoplifters, and unhoused people who didn’t even know their names were used.
