If only Chuck Schumer could be just 5% Mitch McConnell and not 100% Charlie Brown.

Senate Democrats asked for a year of ACA subsidies and were told to fuck off. So they came back and asked for a pinky promise to hold a vote on ACA subsidies that they will assuredly lose? Seriously?

So Dems are incapable of taking wins and not turning them into losses i guess www.politico.com/live-updates...

Trump Is now demanding that states not feed the SNAP recipients whose benefits he is refusing to release. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

True. Gift link. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/o...

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.

While Trump declared “unending support to every victim of crime,” his administration abruptly canceled $72 million worth of grants intended to support crime survivors. bit.ly/483zmiY

Never forget that the Trump regime waged a desperate legal battle with the goal of starving Americans.

Fox goes with real-world math over WH gaslight.

Pathetic that they believe this: The agreement “explicitly recognizes Cornell’s right to independently establish our policies and procedures, choose whom to hire and admit, and determine what we teach, without intrusive government monitoring or approvals.” www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Maybe just let people know that it really isn't worth the hassle that's involved in going to see it. It's very small and hard to see behind the bulletproof glass encasing, not to mention over the hordes of people holding up their cell phones to photograph it. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Funny - I thought Trump said he wanted to give people their SNAP benefits. It would be legal to do it in compliance with the court orders, but instead the admin is appealing and thereby ensuring that people will continue to go hungry. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...

The UN Human Rights Council adopted a decision today expressing its regret over the Trump administration’s refusal to cooperate in the Universal Periodic Review process. It may not sound like much, but this is an important rebuke from a diplomatic body. #humanrights www.aclu.org/press-releas...

What is happening

We are such trouble makers.

Ladies and gentlemen, the President of the United States. Is he just completely unconcerned about the unconscious man on the floor, or is he too cowardly to even look? Or both?

Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Screwing over the non-rich is not just an incidental effect of Trump admin policies. It's a goal. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/y...

"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...

Gorsuch finally starting to understand what they have unleashed

BREAKING: Mississippi Democrats have now flipped two state Senate seats—putting them on the verge of breaking the Mississippi GOP's supermajority. Theresa Gillespie Isom has defeated Republican opponent Charlie Hoots, who she leads in the current vote tally by about 2-1.

These races were not close.

President Trump can’t quite suppress his sinister goal of withholding benefits from hungry Americans—even as the White House insists otherwise. Read @inaeoh.bsky.social on what his latest social media post evinces about his central stance in the fight over SNAP.

This is where we are on the administration's rejection of judicial authority. They don't ask the court to reconsider an adverse ruling. They just tell the court they don't plan to comply.

This shit makes the McCarthy era look very minor.

Is there an application process for the list? Like an online portal or something? Or is it shut down with the government?

oh wait - just kidding hungry children. Trump said he'd release half of the money you needed to eat this month, but actually not until he's done using you as a political cudgel.

Gonna have to re-watch Vice now. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/04/u...

Trump has decided to give poor, hungry families half a loaf while he prioritizes his narcissistic ballroom plans. Full SNAP benefits must be restored immediately. subscriber.politicopro.com/article/2025...

So the Trump admin - with a garish ballroom, Great Gatsby-style party, and hiding the Epstein files as its priorities - wasn't going to do anything about people who survive on SNAP going hungry, but following two court orders, a half measure is all it's willing to do www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/u...

This quote continues to rattle me to my core: "So what you’re telling us is you need less evidence to kill somebody than you do to hold them." That's Rep Adam Smith to Pentagon officials in a briefing on Trump's illegal boat bombings. As he told me in this piece, they didn't answer his objection:

After killing 24 Iraqi civilians, a group of US Marines was put on trial. But no one served a day in prison.

the extrajudicial boat murders have become so prevalent they meet the official definition of serial killing

With the shutdown snarling fights, I decided to take a peek at alternative ways to get to DC for upcoming trips. It’s an 11 hour drive, or I could take the @amtrak.com Crescent - a direct route - in . . . . 19 hours. *smh* So, yeah - no.

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen. Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy! Sorta seems like a problem.

President Trump’s off-the-cuff disclosure that he underwent an MRI scan is raising fresh questions about the secrecy surrounding his health and the need for presidents to be more transparent.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT? Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money. It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Medical care in prisons is horrifyingly inadequate, at best, if it exists at all. People die unnecessarily every day. People lose limbs from un-/poorly-treated diabetes. Going blind from cataracts? If you’re lucky, they’ll fix one eye - why do you need two? And if you think it’s “free,” you’re wrong

What he said: 💯 🎯

Kinda wish Vance himself would actually convert to Catholicism. Maybe then he wouldn't persecute the poor and immigrants, including his wife. But I doubt she's going to let this bother her after all the disrespect of herself and her children she has already tolerated. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/31/u...

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me. He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits… …while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.
