Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Watched "The Pentagon Wars" from 1998, It was based on a true story about Pentagon spending and a whistleblower (from my county). The cast was tremendous, particularly Kelsey Grammer. ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Watch the movie and then remember that Pete Hegseth is our Secretary of Defense. 🫣

Dissonant symphony. 😳♥️

If Trump doesn't want to hear about "affordability", he shouldn't listen to his vice president, who has been mentioning it everyday.

Exactly. These folks are clueless as to how bad it’s going to get for them with every boneheaded move like this.

He's dumb as a rock.

They are killing people with no evidence produced. The criminal penalty for drug smuggling is not death. This must be stopped!

Did you know the most populous city in Europe is Istanbul? 😯 Yep. It sits on a little spit of land at the entrance to the Black Sea. Across the Bosphorus Strait is Asia.

Reminder: Venezuela has a terrible government but is in no way a serious (or even modest) threat to the US and we have no business attacking them (or worse). What's going on there now with the US military is absolutely insane. Apparently our president is desperate to invade somewhere. Peace prize!

I hope drug companies are making enough of the "weight loss" drugs because they are used by diabetics and heart patients for their HEALTH.

Interesting that he picked "the midterms" as the date range rather than a year or 6 months etc.

The Economist says that cocaine is bigger than ever. Fentanyl and higher prices have made Europe the #1 market. Ecuador is a top supplier. Bombing speed boats is not disruptive. Innovations include narco subs, bundles attached to the bottom of cargo ships and air tags in bricks of cocaine.

Why do Trumpies have to push back on even food for children? I think a judge will eventually have to hold one or more of them in contempt. They're unethical and vile. thehill.com/regulation/c...

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Johnson knew the deadline and failed to get a bill on the floor. He had to know the Dems wouldn't vote for it and they'd (GOP) have to negotiate. He has failed to do that ever since. It has predictably failed in the Senate. Thune just keeps voting on it. These are not leaders. They're sheep. 🐑🐑🐑

Congratulations! 🎆 When I lived in Virginia, we elected Doug Wilder the first black Governor. Now they've elected the first woman governor. They're capable. Keep the goodness going. 💙

An individual would be hard-pressed to identify all the laws Trump has broken in this 2nd term. Start with the Tiktok ban, killing people in speed boats, demolishing a third of the White House without approval, most of the DOGE efforts, firing people, kidnapping people, tariffs. It goes on and on. 🤬

Two of the weakest leaders the capitol has ever had.

Hell yes! Break up the monarchist majority. For the people. For JUSTICE. ⚖️ thehill.com/regulation/c...
