Wisconsin State Senator confirms SNAP recipients in the state have received their November benefits.

NEWS — The Oregon Department of Human Services has issued 100% of November SNAP benefits, per an alert on their website. I've received reports that the funds have already hit recipients' EBT accounts. www.oregon.gov/odhs/news/Pa...

Don’t tell me, I already know the line: “This is what I voted for.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "It's absolutely the worst political move to have the House in recess & for us to not be here working...there's a lot of disenfranchised 2024 voters & that was obvious in Tuesday's election. I'm from Georgia & we lost 2 statewide Public Commission seats & lost them heavily."

LendingTree: 70.5% of new tariffs were passed on to consumers, and U.S. consumers will pay $28.6 billion more in tariffs this holiday season.

“I never viewed it … as our house,” Michelle Obama said about the White House. “We were there for a time. We had a job to do. We always felt it was the people’s house ... because it was bigger than us … it is not mine, it is ours.”

Trump demands the right to starve hungry Americans.

They spent it

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

The notion that tariffs are being borne by foreign governments is dying — quickly. 🇺🇸 $TREE

2 in 3 Americans are “one paycheck away from homelessness” And in Utah they’re building a concentration camp for unhoused people Modeled after Alligator Auschwitz and serving as a test case for the criminalization and disappearance of poverty Caused by the very same government that ended SNAP.

The drop in gun violence in DC following the Federal deployment starting in mid-August has more or less completely subsided.

No matter how damning you think this report is going to be, it’s worse. I promise you it is worse.

Maybe we just didn't have the tech and social media awareness in the past but have we ever before had a Director who spent so little time in the actual office?

Politicians can get away with lying to people for quite a while about a lot of different subjects, but they have never been able to get away with lying to them about how much things cost.

ICE's detainee population reaches 66,000, a new record high, statistics show CBS News

When your presidency runs on manual transmission.

Trump's new response to epic GOP losses? Pushing Rs to end early and mail voting entirely. Rather than course correct, the answer is: Gerrymander GOP states, make voting much harder, rig midterms. On the pod, Dem operative Jessica Post is so good on all this: newrepublic.com/article/2028...

This is horrible. #Thugs

Farmers' Almanac says it will cease publication after 208 years, citing financial challenges

Wow

Trump's cognitive and physical decline is off the charts yet it's barely covered by corporate media. Here are two REAL photos from the Oval Office event yesterday. First Trump falls asleep as Dr. Oz is speaking. Second, a person collapses and Trump is so confused he stands motionless.

Trump is in severe cognitive decline. He obviously had a major stroke earlier in the year. He is completely incontinent and wears a catheter. He doesn’t know where he is half the time. He can’t keep on topic. Many experts are saying he has maybe a year left. We will have a President Vance.

Something deeply fucked up when you can blindly break basic state functions and condemn millions to death and then people make you the richest man in the world instead of a pariah

It's been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

He spent Biden’s entire presidency calling him ‘Sleepy Joe’. Still does. But this guy nods off in the middle of the day in meetings almost every day. Fell asleep in court all the time too.
