BREAKING: Another avoidable American mass shooting. Early reports indicate 20 people or more may have been shot at Brown University in Providence, Rhode Island. It’s never too early to politicize this for a safer America. No other country in the world does this happen so often.

Their closing message to Indiana: change your maps to artificially benefit the President's political party or 'roads will not be paved' as punishment. They are openly saying this. Who would want to live in a country that works like that?

This is who she was. Passionate in her beliefs. Fiercely loyal to her friends. Never afraid to let you know exactly where she stood. The best. Fun Fact: I remember arguing with her over which of us hated Piggy the most. I was sure I did. She disagreed. It remains unresolved...

How is squid game challenge just as anxiety ridden and heartbreaking as the show. Good god.

A couple months back, I was curious as to how Bill Pulte was able to obtain Lisa Cook and Letitia James' mortgage documents. Today, the WSJ reports that he was actually under investigation for how he obtained them. www.wsj.com/finance/regu...

The first and last lines of Joni Ernst’s legacy as a human on earth will be that she was instrumental in the confirmation of the Sec of Defense most hostile to women serving in military, and she knew that when she voted for him.

In September, federal agents swarmed a Hyundai manufacturing site, detaining more than 500 workers, including more than 300 from South Korea. Now, nearly 200 detainees are preparing to sue ICE, alleging human rights violations and unlawful arrest.

The group behind “No Kings,” @indivisible.org warns primary challengers for some Senate Dems are coming after the big cave in shutdown battle. youtu.be/rGU51i00ed8?...

There’s still time to call senators. Let me explain. Sorry not sorry about the cat. He’s also really upset about this deal.

Voters want a Democratic Party that fights back against the forces that have rigged the system and made their lives more difficult. A party that comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable —not a party that buckles and capitulates. When will party leadership learn this lesson?

Listen Kaine, Hassan, King, Cortez-Masto, Durbin, Shaheen, Rosen, and Fetterman. You're NOT gonna take away my 2025 election joy. We voted in that election for folks to FIGHT for us. That doesn't include YOU. YOU are what we voted AGAINST last Tuesday. So I'm gonna hang on to that.

If they think reopening the government is going to encourage us to shop this holiday season, they should think again. People won’t have money to shop w/ premiums doubling or tripling. But also, bc we aren’t weak willed establishment dems, we mean what we say. We’ll walk the walk.

Please don’t think this beltway game of having retiring Dem senators vote yes while everyone else votes no is going to shield leadership from the end result. We see what is happening and can’t be fooled by those games.

FYI: Gutting SNAP benefits is outlined in Chapter 10 of Project 2025. Remember, this is all by design. ALL OF IT.

…

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

Prices since Trump took office: -Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7% -Utilities: ⬆️ 11% -ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26% -Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3% Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

So in the midst of living through crimes against humanity, potential war, biblical weather, and failing infrastructure, there could be aliens on their way here and fulfill a Hopi prophecy. And I’m just supposed to keep slogging at my desk like everything is normal? Keep calm and carry on….

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."

WOW. A federal judge says he's going to issue a Temporary Restraining Order requiring ICE to make changes at the Broadview facility in Chicago, a facility that until January was only for stays under 12 hours "absent exceptional circumstances," but has become, in Judge Gettleman's words, "a prison."

Just saw footage of the ups plane in Kentucky. Exactly how much trauma are we supposed to be to withstand?

If you’re having a Great Gatsby-themed party, you’ve never read the book.

NEW: Jury selection begins in the trial of sandwich guy today. The prosecutors are accusing him of "throwing a meat sandwich" at "point-blank range." POINT-BLANK RANGE 💀 www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

Some people waited in line up for 14 hours to receive a food box from a church giveaway. 500 people volunteered to help and they still ran out of food. Remember for every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds 9. By turning off food assistance the regime is starving Americans.

For 17 years I have relied on SNAP benefits. I'm on Social Security Disability, Medicare, Medicaid & live w/chronic illness & disabilities, 2x cancer survivor & Lupus. SNAP is ESSENTIAL for my nutrition. Me & 42M are experiencing a President who does NOT care if 1/8 of ALL Americans STARVE to death!

This is brilliant

Hold on… was the “Great” he’s being trying to get back to the … Depression?

Shocker…

Keystone Kash needed a distraction from the story that he took another private govt jet to watch his girlfriend sing. apnews.com/article/detr...

All these years that I’ve been voting, I stupidly researched and chose candidates based on their beliefs, stance, policies, etc when all I needed to do was to look at their donor list. Who did they take money from? Listen to them orate all you want, but that’s where their real allegiance lies.

For every one meal a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides 9. Food banks cannot bridge the gap if SNAP benefits aren’t available.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

DAILY MEMO: Border Patrol Gets Into Another Car Accident After Playing Dress Up at Home Depot. They Took More Than 20 Today, Including Two Flower Vendors 🧵✌🏽Parts @el_tragon_de_LA

HAPPENING NOW: Portland Police Commander Franz Schoening testifies that federal officers on Oct. 18 barraged protesters with crowd control munitions — not because of any violence but because another federal officer accidentally shot tear gas onto the roof of the ICE facility.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Ok. So, fair point: we’re all scrambling trying to figure out how to feed 42 million people who are about to lose snap benefits, but we’ve allowed 42 million people to need to be on food assistance. For that, we all share culpability.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Food banks aren’t a substitute for SNAP — the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.

ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants. It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

"Most people want to come to a national park and leave with that warm, fuzzy feeling with an ice cream cone. Mount Rushmore can’t do that if you do it the right way. If you do it the right way people are going to be leaving pissed.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I don't know who needs to hear this, but if you have friends struggling through the shutdown, consider inviting them over for a family dinner this week. Make too much. Insist they take leftovers home. Some folks can't say they need help out loud but will appreciate the kindness.
