Why aren’t we hearing about the 5 billion safety net for SNAP recipients.. designed to kick in if there is a government shutdown! Has it been dooged? Has it been spent? What the hell, Congress do your job or don’t get paid.

Churches, charities & family are not a substitute for SNAP They can help but they’re not accessible to everyone They can’t scale up to support an influx of 42 million people The government could easily fund SNAP, they’re choosing not to They’re choosing to let people starve

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

Will have details on Russia’s latest activity in the Arctic based on Norwegian and German sources tomorrow - will feature it in the newsletter and on the livestream.

The January 6th seditionist instigator, Trump, is the #1 enemy of elections in the USA. Nobody has done more to undermine our elections than this orange grifter.

The woman interviewer is known online as the ‘pants shitter’. The boomer gal answering has no more fucks to give 🙌

This 240 year experiment in democracy will survive this challenge of fascism or it will burn in hatred and greed. I get angrier every day with every new insanity coming out of Washington. I'm not the only one. I've got a feeling, something is going to break soon, and it ain't gonna be pretty.

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

just an fyi, on the same night the fascist chuds swarmed the ICE camp in portland in coordination with the local police, one of their buddies went and torched the house of a black city council woman who had taken a stance against ICE

Letting American children experience hunger is a cardinal sin.

I know this may sound cruel but the cold practical fact is we need to appeal to more voters if we want to win elections. That’s why I argue that we need to dispense with purity tests and make a big tent by fielding candidates who want to ban Ezra Klein from receiving any medical care whatsoever.

Representative Ro Khanna is introducing a resolution on Monday to stop US presidents, family members of presidents, and members of Congress from trading in crypto and accepting money from foreign entities while in office. Do you support this?

I’ll be covering the ties between the $130M Pentagon donor and Jeffrey Epstein in further detail today on @meidastouch.com. 3:30 PT/630 ET. Yes I’m on vacation, but this is too important. See you there! youtube.com/live/gJjI6FR...

Proof that the U.S. government social media accounts are in fact white nationalist propaganda accounts, funded by our tax dollars. You’ve got to see this…

While we’re on the subject of Ronald Reagan.

His plan to go after the midterms is clear

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

She won the election before the government shut down‼️

New from me: I’ve been asked a lot, and I finally had time to put together a short explainer for both the legal and tactical considerations of Trump’s strikes in the Caribbean and Pacific. Unlocked for everyone. www.patreon.com/posts/142102...

Good morning! There’s an amazing new podcast that premiers today with Martin Sheen. Listen and subscribe for some of the best self care out there. 💙💙💙

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon on Chicago: "[Greg Bovino] was filmed lobbing a tear gas canister into a crowd...deliberately trying to provoke a confrontation."

Today marks 24 years since the signing of the PATRIOT Act: a law that dramatically expanded authoritarian policing in the United States. It was born out of fear and fueled by Islamophobia.

I have said this on multiple occasions, but it won’t be the Epstein list that removes him from power. It will be the economic pain.

Funding the military during a shutdown is not the same thing as keeping the entire ecosystem of bases, training, mess halls, contractors, etc. running. A paycheck does not make up for eroded morale and readiness. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/for-the-mi...

Printable cards, and signs for pushing back against ICE and keeping your neighbors informed about their rights. Includes the Red Card. #NoICE

I voted yes. Like California, we may need to embrace soft succession.

Murphy: "Trump is refusing to negotiate because he likes the fact the govt is closed, bc he thinks he can exercise King-like powers. He can pay the employees who are loyal to him. This is a leader who is trying to transition our govt from a democracy to something much closer to a totalitarian state"

Chicago City Council member searching for agents on bike during school pick-up: "We are gonna have to be as relentless as ICE"

They want you outraged, distracted, and exhausted. Here’s how to starve the chaos and reclaim control of your own nervous system.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

Felon Trump & Co-President Stephen "Sociopath" Miller falsely claim that due process protections like immigration hearings & appeals are too slow & allow undocumented immigrants to remain for years. People are being illegally disappeared. Who's next?

He got the Speaker he wanted - a cuck who will sit in the corner and let him do whatever he pleases whenever he wants.

The idea - one that I bought for a while - that Musk would get bored with X and sell the platform to some bland mega-corp is probably dead. He's in it for the long haul. And why not? Owning the nerve center of American politics makes him the most powerful person alive today.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

The question of "why do people vote against their self-interest" is pretty self-explanatory when you look up the literacy rate in local schools. We have high schools with a literacy rate of 32%. Thirty-two percent...

"Federal agents fired a pepper round that struck the pastor of the College Heights United Church of Christ. The impact caked his face in orange powder... “I’m in a lot of pain,” the pastor texted from the emergency room, “He clearly was aiming for the face.” www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

When idiot Ron Schneider was born in 1963, the infant mortality rate was 29/1,000. It is now close to 5/1,000. So, no, children were NOT healthier when he was a kid. And he was, clearly, dropped on his head.

Heads up, America.

Some MAGA nativists may be gnashing their teeth at the unusually global World Series. The rest of us can enjoy some baseball. www.thebulwark.com/p/time-to-sh...

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get. Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

It’s been speculated that the “ballroom” is disguising a new, larger, high tech underground bunker bc he doesn’t intend on leaving the WH.
