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

HUGE NEWS! Because of Democratic pressure, Oregon SNAP recipients are reporting their cards have the FULL November benefits!   Everyone who called out Trump for using hungry children and seniors as a bargaining chip has WON with tremendous results!!

Just a happy story about a trans woman who was afraid to come out at work and everything turned out fine actually

I think about this post every day 🧪

Many thanks to autocorrect, which has decreed that the heir to the French throne was not in fact handed over 'aux hommes' – i.e. to the care & education of men rather than women – in 1787 No, he was handed over to 'his homies' If you find this wild misprint in my book, please blame Microsoft Word

McConnell is now defining "irreparable harm" for the gov't. McConnell orders the administration to make FULL SNAP payments to states by tomorrow. Court grants plaintiffs' order for second TRO. The administration decided not to use full Sec 32 funds to fund SNAP....

You ever notice how many indie-darling and it-girl actresses suddenly had late stage career revivals after he got hit with that lawsuit and his power started waning? Sean Young, Winona Ryder, Robin Wright, Jennifer Connelly, bunch of people suddenly reappeared

The public cannot demand absolute perfection from us, while we are unpaid, working mandatory OT, and criminally understaffed. Something has to give. Sorry for the inconvenience, folks, but, we're real people here, and we matter just as much as your travel plans do. #airtrafficcontrol

Looks like American air travel is already fucked and getting more so, in the wake of Duffy’s 10% reduction announcement. Hold onto your butts. nasstatus.faa.gov

Hey Somervillains, anyone know a Jennifer L? She dropped a corporate ID on the GLX bike path just inbound of Central St. i clipped it to the fence nearby.

I gotta say, I’m seeing the most Live Laugh Love women I went to all girls high school with in Ohio posting anti-ICE Instagram reels and demanding people pay attention to the threat of fascism

Designer: all right Mr. Del Toro here’s those Frankenstein’s monster designs, real sexy just like you asked for. Del Toro: (nodding) this is exactly as sexy as I asked for.

My mother was the breadwinner in the family, first to get a college degree in the family, and when she was pregnant with me her boss came into her office, told her that she'd never be the same accountant again, and fired her on the spot. That was in nineteen eighty two

The Trump regime is East Winging the Goddard Space Flight Center, home to the 10,000 scientists and engineers in NASA science and engineering directorates.

you don't have to put on blackface to get social media attention. you can simply develop mild depression, join a menswear forum, spend the next 15 years arguing about pants, and then weaponize the knowledge against your enemies on social media.

don’t let these decrepit fucks pretend zohran’s outspoken support for queer and especially trans new yorkers didn’t arguably deliver his margin of victory

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

Meet our newest patient here at the Alaska Raptor Center, a Northern Pygmy Owl named King Owlbert by his rescuers. Owlbert arrived with a drooping wing, making flight difficult. We’ve given him a supportive wing wrap, plenty of tasty mice, and time to heal. #small #owls #adorable

today, we will treat sewage. we will manage the foul remnants of our past, the health of our present, the hope of our future. days end, but the mission endures. because there will be sewage to treat tomorrow. but this day is today. and today, we will treat sewage.

Been hearing about how we need a "Democratic Joe Rogan" but have you considered we need a Democratic Zohran Mamdani?

Looking forward to learning all about how the right should move left to win elections tomorrow. They should maybe dye their hair pink, learn to love pronouns.

From Evan: it's a huge night of hope for the trans community. The Republicans went all in on anti-trans ads in multiple races and so far there's no sign it got them anything. Perhaps the page can be turned on blaming us for Harris' loss last year.

Alriiiiiiight, it’s 6am, I have a clipboard, and I’m already wearing pants, because democracy. Let’s do this thing, fellow poll workers.

I just put a clipboard in the fridge but I swear it was on purpose and a good idea

Teen Vogue has become a top-tier political journalism authority and doing this the day before election day is just cruel.

spending hours poring over the fine print of the half-dozen insurance plans available to my family next year to find out which has the fewest hidden land mines is definitely a reasonable way for me, not a benefits expert, to spend my time in a civilized country

So we make a flavor called Stole Some Kids’ Halloween Candy, and the candy we’re stealing is from your kid and mine. For the next week, please bring in left over Halloween candy and trade it for a scoop of ice cream.

Just chilling out on a Sunday night with a glass of wine, turning our extremely thorough poll worker manual into a concise and carefully organized checklist so that I can run the before-polls-open and after-polls-close tasks more efficiently this time around... 🍷🗳️✅

really looking forward to sunset at 4:39 tomorrow 🖕🖕🖕

You can't make this up.

Journalism conferences are very funny. Print journalists are like "look at me wearing pants" and TV journalists are in full face makeup and fancy suits and dress shoes.
