"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

Domestic cats come in two colors. These are black and orange. All other variants are a combination of these two. Hence, when a salt-and-pepper coat pattern appears, scientists assumed that this is a new expression of the dilution gene and is associated with already known pigmentation genes.

Being so evil you get banned from war criminal Dick Cheney’s funeral is so peak.

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:

WTF

Priorities.

Anyone wanna explain why Trump is murdering people on the high seas because they're alleged "drug dealers" but then pardoning convicted drug dealers at home? I'd really like to hear how that works.

This coming week, Trump will host Mohammed bin Salman, the Saudi leader who approved the murder and dismemberment of U.S.-based journalist Jamal Khashoggi. Not coincidentally, the Saudis are working on a new business deal with the Trump Organization. It's blood money – or bonesaw money.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

happy epstein thermonuclear launch day to all who celebrate

I’m glad someone is enjoying the snow 😂

“When I win, I will immediately bring prices down, starting on Day One"

The Democratic establishment:

This is so insane. #MedicareForAllNOW

Cave once, and history will make you pay twice.

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

Never forget who sold us out: Hassan King Cortez-Masto Shaheen Kaine Fetterman Durbin Rosen

“A promise of a vote on healthcare” is nothing

If Chuck Schumer tells Dems to cave without getting ACA subsidies which is what they said they were fighting for I will be relentless in demanding that he be kicked from the role of minority leader and primaried.

This is the correct explanation of what happened tonight👇

Trump is worried that if he feeds the hungry and he didn’t have to, that he won’t be able to get the money back. Our money. Appropriated by Congress. To feed the hungry.

Here’s WHY she did it. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

A new deal program where people get employment to help build their communities would solve so many problems in our society I am not joking.

Fact checked true by Snopes:

Tonight's vibe. 🇺🇸💙💙💙

Expect major traffic on the bridges tonight as all of the people who threatened to leave NYC if Mamdani was elected move out…oh wait, hang on, I’m being told there is no traffic on the bridges.

If you're going to rely on "strong assurances" from Republicans then you're stupid and weak and you should resign. There is only one path to getting Democratic assistance with anything: the House reopens, swears in Adelita Grijalva, then passes an acceptable budget. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

This is an incredible LIE being told by the guy that manages the agency that oversees the ACA. It's obscene how easily, how frequently and how dramatically these Trump folks lie to us. ✅Fact check from the extremely reliable @kff.org (& no, KFF did not retract this.)

SNAP is not just for the unemployed. It’s for anyone who’s living below the poverty line, which sadly includes a lot of people who are working full time jobs. But here’s the thing… even if it were “just” for the unemployed… they still deserve food! No one deserves to starve.

Trump is so easily triggered that a TV commercial featuring a former Republican president causes him to tantrum, take his toys, and run home.

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Absolutely no one spends $350 million on a remodel to a house they plan on leaving in three years. No one!!!

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.
