Powell: "Higher tariffs are pushing up prices in some categories of goods, resulting in higher overall inflation."

I’m still shocked that stories like this which come out daily still get largely ignored. The most corrupt person to ever hold any public office in US history. I will keep posting them every day and try to amplify them, even when most media doesn’t care. www.wsj.com/finance/curr...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Starbucks' outrageous CEO-to-worker pay gap might make you spit out your morning coffee. And we're supposed to believe Starbucks can't afford to bargain a fair contract with its unionized workers?

“This case is a major push by the Trump administration to criminalize protest and punish anyone who speaks out against them.” House candidate @katmabu.bsky.social calls her indictment for protesting a “political prosecution."

Two federal prosecutors were placed on leave after seeking a stiff sentence for a Jan. 6 defendant who had been granted clemency and later appeared armed outside the home of former President Barack Obama.

Funny they want people to work, but cut funding for parents needing childcare. share.newsbreak.com/foji6t26?s=i16

A federal judge has denied OpenAI's request to dismiss a copyright suit from George R. R. Martin, Ta-Nehisi Coates, John Grisham and other authors. The judge says that text generated by ChatGPT may infringe their copyrights.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

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.

“Hello, my name is Zohran Mamdani. You hurt my city, prepare to vote” Love seeing Mandy Patinkin encouraging people to get out the vote. Supporting a real progressive candidate who stands for change. Inigo Montoya would be proud. If you know you know!

Pastor David Black was shot in the head with pepper balls while praying for ICE detainees in Chicago. Watch him speak out.

It’s common sense, but not part of any government platform. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. #Health #Wellness #PreventativeMedicine #CdnPoli #Affordability thetyee.ca/Analysis/202...

I work in accounting at a non-profit nursing home. Most of our residents are on Medicaid. They just brought up $175 in cash that they'd collected and asked if we could arrange to donate it to our local food bank. Yes. Yes, we can. And yes, now I'm crying at my desk.

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."

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

This is how our government has been corrupted: 1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office 2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor 3) Donors make huge profit 4) Repeat We must get big money out of politics. It is the root of our dysfunction.

"Ken Paxton just filed a lawsuit against Johnson & Johnson that quotes Trump’s rantings about Tylenol as if they were peer-reviewed studies. Internet conspiracy theories are now official government policy and the animating force in Republican politics."

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

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.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

Moulton: He’s auditioning to be the weakest Speaker in American history. And actually, maybe it’s not an audition anymore — he’s affirmatively the weakest Speaker in American history. He’s completely throwing out the Constitution. He might as well not be in Congress.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

Thanks to Trump, 42 MILLION Americans will miss out on food assistance funds starting November 1. Congress has already passed a law that SNAP benefits should not be interrupted. The money is there. Donald Trump is trying to use hungry kids and veterans for political leverage.

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months. 700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

TikToker DaisyJane: A reason to utilize the National Guard that makes sense. 💙 WATCH: #Resist

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP. If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them. Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

#ICE in Chicago court filing.😡

This speech goes out to everyone trying to look after kids finding there is too much month at the end of their money- proper maternity and paternity pay and leave for every parent and carer, flexible working, actually affordable childcare and rights are possible. Don’t accept anything less!

Hell yeah! 🚨 NEW: 22 states, DC, and 3 governors just filed a legal challenge over a $5 billion “contingency fund” meant to keep SNAP benefits going.

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."

(CNN) Well, as sadly predicted, the Israel-Gaza War is back on with Israel launching strikes against Gaza. If only we had an Administration that knew what it was doing with its 20-step program to end the war. We're still in the FIRST STEP. Nice Job, Trump. www.cnn.com/2025/10/28/m...

* JPMorgan Sees Fed Reviving 2019 Playbook to Ease Market Strains @bloomberg.com

At the behest of corporate lobbyists, Trump's CFPB will block states from erasing medical debt from credit reports. This comes as the GOP allows ACA subsidies to expire – which could cause millions to go uninsured and medical debt to skyrocket. A perfect storm of cruelty.

Eric is a Missouri congressman. He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

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.

Enjoy your lunch today, Senate Republicans. It must really work up an appetite denying food programs for millions of Americans across the country.
