RFK got metal detector screenings and the next day at the same conference Brooke Rollins got no security screening 🤔

Farmers who received grants through Regional Food Business Centers saw their payments frozen and then had to scramble to adjust their budgets. “I don’t know that they’ll ever go after another USDA grant in their lives.”

its striking me that we don’t live in a normal economy anymore, we live in an economy entirely constructed around speculation now

BROWN: The reality is 4.5 million people were kicked off SNAP to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy through HR1. Families and children are not leaving the SNAP program because they are doing better. BROOKE ROLLINS (lying): They are

ANGIE CRAIG: I don't think you understand the difference between error rates and fraud rates. I honestly don't. SNAP has one of the lowest fraud rates of any program BROOKE ROLLINS: You can't be serious when you say that CRAIG: Your own data says that

Truly what excuse does the market have for optimism other than making more money off everyone’s suffering?

Twin Peaks: Laura whispering to Cooper in his dream.

chuck schumer has shown time and time again he is an incredibly weak leader and should step down yesterday

I think letting SNAP recipients have hot rotisserie chicken is good, actually.

Wow, truly FUCK @usdagov.bsky.social - this admin has completely dismantled the institution. Good luck with coming food crisis @secrollins.govpeeps.com

Twin Peaks: Agent Cooper.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social Dems voting for a farm bill that not even R's want to move forward is pathetic.

In the dead of night, Senate Republicans passed a $70 billion blank check for ICE while voting down proposals to bring down the cost of health care, housing, food, and energy. We must fight this tooth and nail in the House.

Corporations want you to think they're raising prices because they have to. The truth is that they're also raising prices to the point where they now have the highest profit margins in history.

Literally, the moment he became the Deputy Director of National Economic Council we saw an explosion in what is now a K-shaped economy. www.nbcnews.com/specials/una...

Furman is the biggest clown alive, no wonder the post-recession economy has been terrible for the average American.

Oh good, Trump is sending his punching bag VP and dipshit son-in-law to negotiate not ending the world.

How does someone feel comfortable attaching their name to such an outlandish question? It's simple - YES, it is not only illegal but also completely immoral and straight up evil to kill civilians. @nytimes.com needs to STOP with the both-sides headlines.

logging on to a 10 am zoom meeting about properly filling out tps reports as the world teeters on the edge of nuclear annihilation

In an age of creeping relativism, a universal moral law still exists. Threatening to end an entire civilization of 90 million people in order to bend a nation’s conduct to your will is grossly morally wrong. It is evil. And we should say this loudly.

yes

Brooke Rollins, @usdagov.bsky.social, is saying that 3.3 million people being cut from SNAP is a big win, claiming that those people are going back to work. A sentence later she then shares that 600,000 jobs have been created during this administration. 3.3M > 600,000 🤔

i think this is exactly right and it is part of what i was trying to get at last week when i wrote about the narcissism of the president and his allies. they fundamentally do not believe other people are real, and do not understand the decisions they make.

it’s gauche to point this out, and i’m certainly not advocating it, but the truth is there aren’t many people willing to debase themselves by authoring anti-birthright citizenship scholarship, and you could shrink that number dramatically if 1 or 2 of them gotten beaten within an inch of their life

the thing thats just not coming through in the coverage of, well of anything but particularly the war, is that theres literally no reason for any of it and republicans are making your life worse but cant explain why or what the payoff is supposed to be

America is so beyond cooked - @npr.org is out here sanitizing NAZI ideology

Despite U.S. and Israeli assassinations of Iranian leadership, the country's "institutions have not collapsed," says Iranian scholar Ali Kadivar. Instead, Iran's new leadership is "more hard-line and hawkish" than ever before.

Steve Bannon said the ICE deployment at airports is just a test run for the 2026 election: youtu.be/1dOjxrlB6Ek

McGovern: He’s doing nothing to make healthcare more accessible. They say we don’t have the money—but we have a billion dollars a day to blow on this crazy war. I don’t think he gives a shit about the American people. Gas prices are skyrocketing, and he’s golfing.

don’t let AIPAC win!!! vote for kat abughazaleh in IL-9 today!!!

Blumenthal after getting briefed on Iran: "We seem to be on a path toward deploying American troops on the ground in Iran to accomplish any of the potential objectives here. There's also the specter of active Russian aid to Iran putting in danger American lives ... China also may be assisting Iran"

MAGA: Paying more on gas for Israel

Why is Jason Furman still publishing on @nytopinion.nytimes.com when he is so closely tied to Larry Summers (who had to be cut because of his Epstein relations)?

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

If they aren't paying to live in the US they shouldn't be afforded the privileges of living here "But of an estimated $2 trillion in savings that U.S. taxpayers will accrue over a decade as a result of the tax cuts, more than a third — $750 billion — will flow to the richest 1 percent of Americans"

It's genuinely insane that many of the newspaper columnists who cheered us into the war in Iraq are still employed at big legacy outlets cheering us into a new war with Iran.

He's a monster assembling his own axis of evil who want to kill babies in their quest for wars of real estate. He needs to be impeached the second you can do it.

this is horrifying. this is why they say death to america. because all we bring is death to their children and people

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done - started a war in the middle east - completely destroyed the economy

(with barely contained rage) I'm going to have a nice weekend

Trump: "I don't know how long I'll be around. I've got a lot of people gunning for me, don't I?"

Concentration camps with a shooting range.

the logic of his position is that you would them abandon those issues and so on and so on until you’ve fully sacrificed a group of vulnerable americans to reactionary bullies for the sake of a percentage point (if that)
