It’s Fall

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength. Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans. The American people need more from their leaders.

Senate Dems, do not cave. Ensuring healthcare premiums don’t surge is an 80-20 issue. They want to gut the ACA because their disdain for Obama far outweighs their concern for anyone’s health.

It must be bacon.

It’s disgraceful that the administration chose to go to court instead of fulfilling its responsibility to the American people. I will not stop fighting until every family has the resources they need to put food on the table. apnews.com/article/snap...

"Rochester is especially sensitive to shifts in the H-1B visa system. With 751 approved workers through the third quarter of 2025, the area hosts more H-1B employees than any other part of the state outside New York City."

My kids have measles and my SNAP benefits were cut. But at least those cashiers at Walmart aren’t writing “they/them” on their name tags anymore.

I understand why we shut down American airspace for a few days after 9-11 to avoid a repeat attack but imagine shutting down American airspace to avoid releasing the Epstein files.

"Pope Leo said Scripture emphasizes the question that will be posed at the end of the world: 'How did you receive the foreigner, did you receive him and welcome him, or not? I think there is a deep reflection that needs to be made about what is happening'..." chicago.suntimes.com/pope-leo-xiv...

Wait! Isn’t government backed grocery stores socialism??

He energized everyone.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Fixed it for you ABC News.

It's pretty shitty to witness who's desperately engaging in unbridled, unapologetic racism in these final 24 hours before the polls close in NYC, but it's also illuminating. Masks are coming off. Takes notes for posterity. Someday, they'll pretend it was all a misunderstanding.

Unpaid government workers are being fed by World Central Kitchen…let that sink in just how dire things are.

Ok. Funny.

The company you keep. Trump and Musk want Cuomo. Andrew Cuomo welcomes their support.

This is how personalistic autocracies operate. Here in the USA.

Mr. Clooney, with all due respect: if you’re not in Virginia or New Jersey or Pennsylvania this weekend helping to get out the vote, you really need to shut the fuck up.

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

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor. Virginia – Abigail Spanberger cares about your freedoms, she will fight for your rights, and she will work every day to make your life a little bit better.

Shouldn’t take a court order to tell you to feed the hungry.

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...

Based on the incoming and available OSINT info, and other third party sourcing, US action in Venezuela is highly possible in the next 48 hours. Likely consisting of strikes on cartel and military targets. Things can change, but I am anticipating to begin reporting on this very soon.

This is terrible. Calls at prisons in NY are free, but not jails. "Overall, rates are expected to increase by as much as 83% for the nearly 2 million people who are currently incarcerated." www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

I keep seeing this, and I agree with most of it. However; Stove Top stuffing, and Rice-A-Roni both require butter to be good.
