But totally cool for Qatar to buy a whole ass plane for Trump

Sandwich guy..Not guilty

I’m looking for folks with IDD and their families who rely on SNAP and want to talk to a journalist about it. DM me here, email me at sluterman dot 19thnews dot org, or hit me up on Signal at slooterman.18.

And this is what SSA communication looks like under the Trump Administration.

Should women be allowed in public, y/n?

I do wonder what it was like to be a woman working at the NYT and wake up to the “Did Women Ruin the Workplace” headline.

women, are they bitches?

I think an unwritten story of the 2025 election results is @blkprofcct.bsky.social point that turnout among Black voters—especially engaging low propensity ones— is critical to Dem electoral success.

“They didn’t just walk in chasing one person, they went into multiple rooms asking and looking for teachers while children were present,” Ramirez said. “This is an agency that has gone rogue and it an agency that believes that as long as they can cover their face, they can get away with anything.”

"Hope is not blind optimism or uncritical belief in a political savior. Hope, to me, means the ability to imagine a better world is possible and then work to build it brick by brick. It is, as @prisonculture.bsky.social says, not an emotion but a discipline—one we must practice every single day."

REP. HENRY WAXMAN: In other words, you found that your view of the world, your ideology, was not right, it was not working? ALAN GREENSPAN: ... I was shocked, because I had been going for 40 years or more with very considerable evidence that it was working exceptionally well. 2/2

Every single woman you know has had this happen to her. Even the goddamn president of Mexico.

Wow, huge credit to Katie and the rest of the nutrition team at @centeronbudget.bsky.social. USDA has now issued revised numbers because CBPP caught them either accidentally or intentionally making huge errors that would severely underfund SNAP, in direct violation of court orders.

A Border Patrol agent who shot a woman five times on Chicago’s Southwest Side later bragged about his shooting skills to friends: “I’m up for another round of ‘f--- around and find out.’” chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

New, from me: DHS says immigration enforcement employees like ICE are facing unprecedented threats and 1000% increase in assaults. But the data does not add up. Look at the details, and we see state agents using excessive force, and then lying about it. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/whos-threa...

oh my god they actually did it lmao

This morning federal agents arrested two hard working immigrants on my street because they didn’t have their papers on them, and tried to arrest my neighbor because his green card was in his house rather than on his person. We are now a “show me your papers” state, and it is outrageous. Get angry.

obviously, it's unclear what will happen with the final budget but the Senate appropriations committee explicitly blocked the MYF plan in their proposed budget while the House committee doesn't mention it in theirs fabbs.org/news/2025/08... www.science.org/content/arti...

This preliminary injunction hearing in Chicago is just like... normie white liberal after normie white liberal describing how federal agents beat them, shot at them with pepper balls, pointed guns at them, threw flashbangs and tear gas at them

Looking forward to seeing you post another headline every time someone's team is all men.

Zohran Mamdani, the mayor-elect of New York City, will turn to veterans of City Hall, nonprofit executives and a former chair of the Federal Trade Commission — all of them women — to lead his official transition effort, he said on Wednesday. nyti.ms/4nHdyOP

Kind of need to see a breakdown about what happens in the Texas gerrymandered districts if the voters swing 6 or 7 points to the left.

Hey, look, a new dementia screener just rolled out!

[Narrator: they lost 13 seats]

Good news.

Evolutionary psychologists have long believed that men prefer physical traits in women which are cues to high potential fertility. A new review concludes: “current evidence base is too weak to support the claim that women’s feminine morphological traits are associated with reproductive potential”

After 13 years, Mississippi Democrats have broken the Republican Party’s supermajority in the Mississippi Senate. Democrats flipped two GOP-held Senate seats and one House seat in the special elections. buff.ly/nTvLlFI

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

there are basically not enough republican voters to create enough safe seats to withstand the kind of wave that, for example, turned virginia into a democratic supermajority state for the first time in the modern era of its politics

Weird how a giant outpouring of public protest was followed by electoral blowouts of Trump's GOP.

🎉🎉🎉

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

It's also looking like he's going to win with more votes than any NYC mayoral candidate since at least the 1960s. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yor...

I know we're all watching election returns but don't let this get lost in the mix: the Heritage Foundation is calling on the HHS to conduct a 'safety' review of oral contraception jessica.substack.com/p/the-group-...

The race in VA has been called for Abigail Spanberger WOOT WOOT!!!!!!!!

even if it's a hoax, I feel like the mere threat of bombing a polling place is political violence

I vascillated on sharing this. My grandma wouldn’t approve. I am sharing it because Milo is a doll, I’ve had a rough few weeks, I never got a proper libra season and he describes me the one way that makes me feel seen: I am curious. thehometownholler.substack.com/p/the-very-m...
