Tapper: Angus King said standing up to Donald Trump didn't work. Sanders: Maybe Angus didn't notice the elections on Tuesday. I thought that they worked pretty well.

The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald was 50 years ago today. Check out the post quoted below that remaps older satellite data and uses ERA5 reanalysis to look back at the #weather on that day. #history 1/2 🧪

I've been a bit quiet the last two weeks. Caught the classic early autumn community cold, and, well, a break's not so bad now and again. But today's thread's about something you're probably already aware of—it's the 50th anniversary of the loss of the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald on Lake Superior.

To the hour and near minute. "We are holding our own."

“Everyone says he is crazy – which maybe he is – but the scarier thing about him is that he is stupid. You do not know anyone as stupid as Donald Trump. You just don’t.” Fran Lebowitz

Would somebody tell the people that are in bread lines and cleaning out the food banks, that we are the richest nation on the planet? But wait, didn't the federal government just argue in court that they're too poor to pay for SNAP in full?

This is the food-distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base. Active-duty U.S. service members waiting for basic assistance because Trump gutted SNAP support for military families. Trump's predatory regime refuse to offer these military families the financial relief they deserve. (🎥hatteri621)

Despite the lack of a planet-warming El Niño event this year, 2025 has been the 2nd-warmest year on record for the year-to-date period, and is on track to end up as the 2nd- or 3rd-warmest year on record, behind only the El Niño-warmed years of 2024 and 2023:

💯 ding ding ding rent with the additional benefir of paying real estate tax !!!

📌I can't stop banging this drum: Democrats had a spectacular Tuesday at the polls, the wind at their backs, and basically punched themselves and their voters in the face five days later. This is political malpractice at best, and out and out brazen capitulation to their billionaire donors at worst.

In a 2004 report, T.D. Allman chronicled the political curse of Dick Cheney — from Richard Nixon's administration to George W. Bush's. Read it here: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons. State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/oc...

With Trump’s massive tax cuts for the wealthy currently exploding the deficit, and now this, Trump and his oligarch cronies want to make us debt slaves from birth to death while truly owning nothing, while they buy bigger yachts and more mansions.

If tRumpo the Terrible is willing to attempt mass starvation to distract from the Epstein files now, just imagine the foaming at the mouth weirdness his behavior and language will descend to once the evidence starts coming out.

You may not use SNAP, but I guessing you know someone who does! #MomSky

MEDICARE FOR ALL! Astronomical health costs and lack of access drive individuals, families and businesses past their breaking point, while insurance companies continue to soak-up billions of health care dollars, as millions of children’s basic needs go unmet. Medicare4All.org Also, restore SNAP now!

Don’t forget: gutting SNAP is literally written into Project 2025. This isn’t a mistake — it’s the plan. Every. Single. Bit.

If you step back and look, trump simply decided NOT to fund the SNAP program, which feeds millions of kids, seniors, and ENLISTED FAMILIES, just because he's a sadistic fucking asshole, and 219 gop Representatives and 53 gop Senators just...go along with it. They're doing the same with the ACA.

Ending SNAP benefits, murdering Venezuelans, demolishing the East Wing, ICE thugs beating citizens, tariffs, all to distract from the Epstein files so America won’t find out he’s a pedophile rapist. Like we don’t know. Blocking Grijalva is Johnson using the devil himself for his Christian agenda.
