New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

This is a pattern of politicization across the Trump administration, but the threats are more existential in the military, which has tried to stay above politics. The country does not need Generals promoted because they will do anything Trump or Hegseth asks of them. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/07/u...

Community note for the win

We noticed!!

And there you have it

America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization is affecting the ability of U.S. scientists to track flu and other pathogens. That could be a blow to the development of the 2025 flu vaccine. n.pr/4onXnXP

FIFA's obsequious flattery of Trump immediately calls to mind a 14th-Century work written by Gérard du Bus set to music by Philippe de Vitry called the Roman de Fauvel. #EarlyMusic Links: everything.explained.today/Roman_de_Fau... Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_d...

ppl are like "can you believe fifa?" and its like, have you ever heard of fifa? they make Nestle look like Planned Parenthood.

This should spell the end of corrupt FIFA once and for all. And it may well do that, because everything Trump touches turns to shit. #PlanetTaco

FIFA making up a Peace Prize to award Donald Trump is the most on brand thing they’ve done this year.

FIFA HANDING TRUMP A "PEACE PRIZE" IS A SLAP IN THE FACE TO EVERYONE WHO HAS FOUGHT FOR REAL JUSTICE. THIS IS THE SAME MAN WHO STOKED HATRED AND DIVISION, AND NOW HE GETS A TROPHY? CELEBRATE ACTIVISTS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS, NOT AUTHORITARIAN BILLIONAIRES. #FIFA #TRUMP

Catchy tune. "We Dissent" I'll bring my little Bose speaker to the next No Kings march (of course, there will be more) and get the music going. 🎼🥁🎸🎶👊🐸💙

GINA needs REPOSTS 2 find an E coast foster wholl save her from @nycacc.bsky.social a DEATH CAMP 4 DOGS, wholl slaughter this baby girl too. Vet, travel, food, training, PD BY RESCUE‼️ NO EXPENSES 4 YOU‼️ 🙏REPOST, begging you to help save this sweet girl🙏

That is what it is. I mistakenly wrote Dewy. Yes it's Lewy. It's the reason we lost Robin Williams. Only difference he did have compassion. Trump has only negative feelings-or lewd thoughts...but no capacity for compassion.

FIFA giving out a peace prize is like Blackrock giving out an award for ethics.

Who was it that collapsed in the Oval Office and are they really okay? There are a dozen news outlets breaking that it was Gordon Findlay of Novo Nordisk (who wasn’t even in the room).

One more bit — **Novo Nordisk confirmed to my colleague that their employee Gordon Findlay was not in the Oval Office today.**

Trashing air traffic control To protect a child rapist Starving Americans To protect a child rapist Self-immolating Congress To protect a child rapist Crashing healthcare To protect a child rapist It’s not more complex, moral, or dignified. Call them: 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump #GOPShutdowm

Just now learning of the deaths of Pauline Collins and Prunella Scales. So sad they're gone, but so grateful for their work.

After Prunella Scales last week, another giant of 1970s TV. Pauline Collins. So much good work. But forever Sarah, the incorrigible spirit of early Upstairs Downstairs.

RIP Pauline Collins, who I fondly remember as Her Majesty Queen Victoria and founder of the Torchwood Institute in the #DoctorWho episode Tooth and Claw.

Sandwich guy not guilty! 🎉

Sandwich Guy was not jury nullified. Sandwich Guy was acquitted on reasonable doubt owing to the officer in question lying under oath.

Sales at Subway about to go way up.

the message that people should take away from sandwich guy is that getting blackout and picking fights with cops always ends well. I am a lawyer* and this is legal advice** *this is disputed by the bar, whose legitimacy I do not recognize **for the court of life, before which all are plaintiffs

Jury declares Sandwich Guy not guilty — proof that sometimes justice can be served. Preferably toasted, with extra irony and a side of fries. www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

In this one he looks like he's having an out of body experience

I think there may be a disconnect with empathy. Maybe damage to his prefrontal cortex & temporal lobe. The "empathy circuit" - it can be caused by Dewy Dementia.

They cannot pronounce the words "Mamdani" or "Kamala" and do not know the actual name of the party they oppose, but sure, I bet Mike Johnson has a solid lit-crit handle on what neo-Marxism is as he calls the retirement of an 85-year-old tellingly precipitous

Is there a "I Don't Know" virus circulating among people on the Hill? First, RFK Jr. NOW, Mike Johnson. Be careful people.

REPUBLICANS JUST GOT THEIR ASSES STOMPED, BUT FAILED MIKE JOHNSON ("LIMP DICK"!) INSISTS THAT REPUBLICANS ARE GOING TO CONTINUE TO RUN ON THEIR RECORD. GO AHEAD, MAKE MY DAY, YOU DUMBFUCKS. THANK YOU FOR READING MY VERY STRONG POST LIKE NO ONE THOUGHT POSSIBLE. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/47YqGdz

There is a compromise on the table to get this deal done and reopen the government while keeping health insurance premiums down. But the sole problem, plain and simple, is Mike Johnson.

A pedophile might face some consequences. Time to put up the Mike Johnson bat signal so he can swoop in to run interference for him.

There's no Alt-Text, so here: A US Congresswoman sits at a folding table in a marble hall. A large oaktag(?) sign hangs off the table. It reads: MIKE JOHNSON is starving families and gutting healthcare to cover up the Epstein files. CHANGE MY MIND

Adelita Grijalva: "THANK YOU Mike Johnson! By obstructing my swearing-in, you highlighted how corrupt this administration is. People all over the nation wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise."

Rep. Yassamin Ansari's sign: Mike Johnson is starving families and gutting healthcare to over up the Epstein Files. CHANGE MY MIND

“The Trump administration and Mike Johnson are running a pedophile protection program,” Jeffries told reporters in the Capitol. “That’s what they’ve been doing, and that’s the reason why they refuse to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, for weeks now.” thehill.com/homenews/hou...

It's the picture of someone who feels awkward - not quite knowing what to feel or say in a situation where most people would be concerned for the person who collapsed.

“But I’ll just ignore them and use FB to stay in touch with family and friends.” No, you won’t. Meta regularly moves the buttons for accessing your human connections to defeat your muscle memory and force you to spend time looking at ads. Then they use higher “engagement time” to sell more ads.

And the lump just stands there looking on.

So guy who’s actually a doctor went to man’s aide, while his boss, who is not a doctor just ran away. I mean if he got on his phone and called 911. That’s at least something. This should alarm all Americans. The person charged with providing medical advice for all Americans, runs away in crisis.

BREAKING: RFK Jr. flees the scene after Novo Nordisk Executive Gordon Findlay collapsed in the Oval Office. Findlay is reportedly ok.

This is completely unnecessary. This is domestic terrorism. This is NOT how I want my tax dollars used. This is NOT how we follow the Constitution in America. Again … COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY.

Why can’t state governments and state police demand they wear credentials, identify themselves and not wear masks? Because these men could be kidnappers and not ICE agents.

The Indio, California courthouse witnessed a distressing incident when a woman, presumably an ICE GOONS, abducted and vanished a distraught woman who was attending her immigration hearing.
