Families are already hanging by a thread, but the sad truth is it’s about to get a lot worse when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November. It’s time to find our local food banks and help out with donations and volunteer hours if you are able.

🤦🏻‍♀️ So they want hundreds of millions of dollars tax breaks for data centers that destroy our environment, consume massive amounts of energy and water, and cause so much community division while raising residential electric raises so, in return, they can run something that spectacularly fails? Right.

christ almighty what is this guy doing www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

I'm not a West Wing obsessed lib or anything but the more I see pictures of this the more fucked up I think it is. It's like he cut off one of the hands of the Lincoln memorial with an angle grinder so he could add a big gun to it.

Literally

POP QUIZ: The Tennessean is… A) bad at math B) like other outlets, intentionally downplaying the crowd at the Capitol 🤷🏼

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement. Check out how tiny the crowds were: Philly: 200 DC: "several hundred" Boston: 500 Austin: 1,000 Houston: 2,000

Moskowitz: We need $30 billion to extend, obviously, these healthcare subsidies, which allow Americans—Americans, not illegal—Americans, citizens, to afford healthcare. And the president’s like, “We don’t have $30 billion, but I am going to send $40 billion to my dear friend in Argentina.”

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better." (The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)

NYT made an astounding discovery: the rich have money, the poor don't.

I thought "the president's just a wannabe king who flies a shit-dropping plane over his own country" is something his enemies would say about him but you do you

To quote @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social, I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

Baltimore No Kings Dance Party IN EFFECT

Latest from the no Kings protest in Germantown, Maryland

Heads up! 🔥 In deep-red, economically depressed Youngstown, Ohio, hundreds lined Market Street in front of the Mahoning County Courthouse, not in anger, but in fierce love of country. They came to defend democracy itself, proving even here the people are awake, united, and unafraid. 👑❌✊ #NoKings

Reno says No 👑👑

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

Endless lines of protestors in Downtown Los Angeles

Reminder: enter your protest signs! The deadline is tonight at 11:59 PT. I've already received hundreds of submissions. Really excited to go through these. Winners will be announced on Monday at 7pm ET across social media and a few minutes before that on my blog.

Organizers of the 'No Kings' protests estimate more than 200,000 people turned up in D.C. alone.

1. Washington DC #NoKings 👑

Zero arrests. 100,000 people. No violence. This who we are.

Giant copy of the Constitution being carried down Pennsylvania Avenue.

Boston. Wow.

The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million. This comes as Americans can barely afford groceries.

“White House deputy chief of staff Stephen and his podcaster wife, Katie Miller, have fled their Arlington home after peaceful chalk messages were left on the sidewalk.“ Now imagine if armed, masked men were hunting you and your family like animals.

Today will be my first protest ever. I'll be going in a red white and blue shirt, my Marine Corps ball cap and belt buckle, and I dug out of storage a pair of boots I wore on a deployment. No Kings. And without Article 1 strongly enforced and exercised, the Executive is a King.

Hi, I'm the ProPublica reporter who's been tracking an unusual stat: U.S. citizens grabbed by immigration agents. I did it because the government isn’t. This is what I found.

If we are taking in “trillion” of dollars in tariffs: 1. Why haven’t we paid down a cent of the debt? 2. Why can’t we afford to not fuck millions of people over with expiring insurance subsidies? 3. Why is none of it being used to help the abysmal job market?

“The Founders would never believe that it would ever come to pass that one state militia could be sent to another state for the purposes of political retribution” THAT PART! Thank you, Judge Perry.

I’m sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board. Right? …right?

When people show you who they are, believe them. And of course JD Vance refused to condemn this.

That’s crazy. I wonder what happened in January

Everyone should listen to this. It’s easy to blame Rogan for understanding the situation far too late, but the important thing is that he’s using his platform-with his millions of listeners-to talk about it now. This one show will reach more normal GOP folks than we ever could.

Absolute clown show.

A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, our healthcare, and the information we receive. Many are now currying favor with Trump to both avoid accountability and maintain their power. This is what oligarchy looks like. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/16/u...

Thank you for your attention to this matter. Detroit Metro Airport

Himes: If you've got the capability to blow a boat out of the water, you've got the capability to interdict it, arrest everyone on board, interrogate them, and find out where it was going, where it came from, who the bosses are, and what the distribution networks look like.

REPORTER: Do you support repealing Obamacare and what's your healthcare plan? MIKE JOHNSON: We worked on repealing and replacing Obamacare back in 2017. I still have PTSD from the experience. We know that American healthcare needs dramatic reform. We have lots of ideas. (So, no plan)
