Proposed cuts to federal non-defense research & development totaling $42B would slow innovation, weaken productivity, & put future gains in living standards at risk. Federal research drives long-term growth; cutting it would set back progress for decades. www.cbpp.org/research/fed...

Please tell me it was the Twin Peaks clip that did it.

It’s wild America thinks it’s a country where criminals are treated with a cushy lax attitude with law enforcement prevented from doing their jobs when every piece of evidence is that it’s the opposite except for rich people who don’t commit crimes because why would they have money if they did that

Thinking how Stephen Bannon got fired in 2017 because Trump got mad that people were saying he's the real president. Probably wouldn't work with Miller because they only feed Trump AI slop now. They got him in the Professor X rig watching videos of himself leading troops in battle

We are in a golden age of morons failing upward. Even inbred hapsburgs weren’t doing it like this

The way the right builds their "violent left" narrative is being hyperreactive to any action by anyone they perceive to be on the left and blasting it all over conservative media while systematically ignoring any violence by the far right. Mainstream media covers the former but barely the latter.

This crew is harvesting lettuce outside of Watsonville CA. There are 12 workers cutting and bagging the lettuce. Then on top of the machine there's another 12 workers grabbing the bags and packing the lettuce in the boxes that get shipped to your supermarket. #WeFeedYou

"True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.” —FDR, 1944

I said what I said: Kristi Noem should be tried at The Hague for crimes against humanity.

ICE is actually out there committing atrocities FOR FREE during the shutdown

i think it's good how everything sucks

Farmers like Caleb Ragland are watching their livelihoods collapse under Trump’s reckless tariffs. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Disinformation thrives without data No jobs numbers = the economy isn't struggling! No food insecurity data = people are fed! No education research = defunding and threatening schools doesn't hurt kids! No public health studies = our policies aren't making people sick!

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

Yesterday I interviewed a 20yo from senegal whose parents were dead, best friend was killed in a protest & who spent a year running to safety only to arrive to this version of America. And it struck me that what this country is punishing his insistence on surviving. +

There’s a looming health care crisis brewing, but Republicans are refusing to negotiate. “We are going to start to see Obamacare exchange premiums rise by hundreds of dollars for families across the country… This isn’t something we can kick down the road.” Watch Kitty Richards on @bloomberg.com.

In this house we don't believe in providing basic human rights to everyone

CNBC: "Very disappointing. It's a weak number. This is private sector jobs for September. The total comes in -32,000. And that was a surprise because economists were looking for an increase of 51,000. Also, the revision was not good. August now showing -3,000 compared to the initial read of 54,000"

SCOOP — The White House instructed all federal agency leadership on Tuesday to send out a mandatory message to workers blaming the impending potential government shutdown on House Democrats, The Handbasket was first to learn. Absolutely no modifications to the email were permitted. My story:

The Bureau of Labor Statistics says job openings are down 422,000, or 5.5%, from the same period a year ago.

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Ahead of the looming Republican government shutdown, millions of hardworking Americans are bracing for a drastic price hike in their monthly health insurance premiums. From small-business owners to cancer survivors, working families are lambasting the Republicans’ handling of health care.

America is bailing out Argentina, while Argentine farmers sell soybeans to China instead of American farmers, thereby bankrupting them, which is why America also have to bail out American farmers. If this is considered winning, I fear what losing looks like.

Being a member of Congress has to be the coolest job ever - sending strongly worded letters when your party’s out of power and rubber stamping everything the president does when your party’s in

Up to 22.3 million U.S. families will either be cut off from SNAP or see smaller monthly benefits because of the Republicans' "big, beautiful bill." www.cbsnews.com/news/food-st...

it’s awesome we have a vice president and administration that live tweets shootings and then gets key details wrong, like how it was detainees who were getting shot and killed, not law enforcement

🚨 Millions of Americans have been out of work for over 6 months. The “scarring effects” go beyond lost income. Our @lindsayowens.bsky.social talks to @huffpost.com about long-term unemployment’s impact on the workforce.

Is this something newborn or dying stage fascism would do, put it in the newspaper that local governments are politely issuing military occupation etiquette manuals, so everyone can stay nice and civil

@thirdway.bsky.social really out here saying that "food insecurity" is "organizer jargon" showing that they truly do not know what they are talking about in any way.

In a recent paper, University of Iowa professor @profsecchi.bsky.social finds that the current Census of Agriculture is neither complete nor accurate, and could skew federal research and investment.

Living in the dark, dark age.

💸 Inflation remains the #1 concern for families — and for good reason. Poll after poll shows people struggling to pay bills, save, or pay off debt. 🚨 More than 1 in 4 Americans say their money situation will prevent them from ever having the life they want.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended

After enacting the largest SNAP cuts in history, Trump is now scrapping the federal government's annual report on hunger in America. The utter cruelty of this regime knows no bounds.

can't wait for tomorrow

"We live in a time when intelligent people are being silenced so that stupid people won't be offended."

"The department’s report has been published every year for three decades, and grew in part out of battles in the 1980s over President Ronald Reagan’s statements disputing that the United States had a hunger problem." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/u...

It’s Monday again

Trump cuts hundreds of billions of dollars of SNAP funding. Trump cancels the USDA food insecurity survey. Many conservatives have been pushing for years, that no children are starving in the US. They never believed food insecurity was real. This is where calling it an "obesity epidemic" got us.

No one should get violent threats. But if you’re gonna change your vote because of it, you should resign. I’Ve been getting violent threats all week and not only do I have no intention of shutting up, I think it’s evidence that we need to say it louder
