There's a lotta silliness and falsehoods in this statement, but I'm going to focus on the bigger issue: It is immoral to make low-income folks and their hungry children political pawns. Need is need.

I used to say this trial was a waste of taxpayer dollars, but I think it’s totally worth it.

Reminder: At the height of COVID When hospitals were desperate for COVID tests, Trump sent thousands to Putin for his personal use

😡. He’s priming himself for a 3rd impeachment if Democrats can win back the House next year

Newsom: Prop 50 is not about drawing lines on a map. It is about holding the line to what makes us who we are.

😡so a natural disaster and not a man made disaster 🤔

@sydneykamlager.bsky.social: Trump "is out of touch with reality. I think he is in cognitive decline, but he did not run to be president to actually help this country. He ran to exert maximum pain, as he and speaker Mike Johnson have said over and over during the course of the shutdown."

After he mishandled COVID and now that he's murdering people in boats (65 so far), Donald it the United States' Most Prolific Serial Killer.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children: I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

Holder: The Supreme Court is a broken institution. And it’s something that has to be part of the national conversation in ’26 and in ’28. If there is a Democratic trifecta in 2028—and I think the possibility of that is pretty good—Supreme Court reform has to be on the table.

JUST IN: Judge Immergut renews her block on President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland, saying her three-day trial showed there was no credible evidence justify Trump/Hegseth’s incursion on Oregon’s sovereignty. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP. To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesn’t realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAP—14.6% of the state’s population.

There’s a name for this. C O R R U P T I O N

How to answer a loaded question. (This is Joe Neguse, Congressman for Colorado's 2nd District.)

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Obama: It is not as if we didn't see some of this coming. I will admit it is worse than even I expected, but I did warn you all. I did. You can run the tape.

Obama: When he was asked to give the trump administration a grade, he said they deserved an A. These are the same folks who put secret war plans in a group chat. You don't think there's anything they could be doing better? No room for improvement?

😡

Just a reminder: senate republicans have “gone nuclear” twice in the last two months to ram through over 150 Trump appointees. Now they’re acting like they just learned about it.

BREAKING: 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims are urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Adelita Grijalva. STOP IGNORING THE EPSTEIN VICTIMS!

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

😡

As millions face hunger with SNAP set to run out Nov. 1, Senate Republicans just blocked a bill to keep food on families’ tables. In one of the richest nations on Earth, denying people the right to eat goes beyond cruelty. This is a moral failure — not a budget issue.

Sen. Slotkin: “I believe Trump is reshaping the country to hold on to power. Trump is following the same playbook as almost every authoritarian in history.”

“Stephen Miller is wasting our tax dollars by taking military housing while service members are lining up at food banks and veterans struggle to get the care they earned,” said Common director Jose Vasquez, whose group represents veterans and military families. www.thedailybeast.com/stephen-mill...

Sen. Slotkin: “The president and Secretary Hegseth are refusing to tell the American people who we are fighting…I think it's safe to say that the American people deserve to know who we are at war with, especially if people are being killed in our name.”

Recall when we had a president who was a decent human being? Seems so remote and novel now.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered. This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

This is very true. If/when The Felon croaks, evil Criminal Johnson & the rest of the crew will continue the destruction. They're a disease that must be 100% eradicated.

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 voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people. California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

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

Rep. Jim Himes: "Fentanyl...comes out of Mexico, from the cartels there. There is cocaine coming out of Colombia, not so much Venezuela. So what we see there is a massive number of military assets deployed for purely performative reasons...It's purely performative."

Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?
