What a great idea. This book has horrified me and I can’t put it down.

The people yearn for (democratic) socialism (this one will make you cry)

SNAP is NOT out of funds. The child rapist just won’t release the $.

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.

RIGHT NOW, THE GHOST OF JEFFREY EPSTEIN IS EXERTING MORE LEADERSHIP THAN THE ENTIRE #GOP CONGRESS. And guess what? He realllllly doesn’t mind making children suffer. Call your 🔴 Rep/Sen’s. Or email or send a postcard. Ask why they are starving children to protect a child rapist: 202-224-3121

Portland dance group offers free Latin dance lessons at ICE facility 💃🏽

I really feel like targeting @katmabu.bsky.social with criminal charges is going to backfire for the administration.

It’s been so long since the Blue Jays won the World Series that the last time it happened the President was born in 1946 and had ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

uh-oh. turns out the mortgage document that the DOJ is alleging was fraudulent b/c great niece paid some rent (great niece testified she didn't) refers to "short-term rentals," which seems to blow DOJ theory that it could't be rented out of the water. Another disaster of a case.

Can we just, for one minute, as a country, agree no child should go to bed hungry? Fck u cuntcakes for anything less than a yes.

shoutout to whichever gym teacher at my kids school designed a game where kids have to catch balls and whichever team gets to 22 first wins, and then called this game catch 22

Look, it’s trite to say, but I’m gonna say it anyway: tell your people that you love them. Apologize when you screw up, check in just to say hi, celebrate every mundane happiness you can with them. They need it more than you know, and so do you.

Good morning and happy Wednesday to everyone. I'm not on food stamps. I don't get Medicaid. I rely on no social safety nets. But I still believe in fully funding these programs. Why? Because I'm not a selfish dipshit.

Still waiting for Gym Jordan to honor his lawful subpoena from 5 years ago.

This is good trouble. GOD BLESS THIS CHURCH!

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."

Ballrooms? Paxton & Tylenol? Lol yea still gonna need to see those Epstein files.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Justice (DOJ) this week placed two federal prosecutors on leave after they wrote in a court filing that on Jan. 6, 2021, “thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol,” a source familiar with the personnel moves told Democracy Docket.

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.

FLAG: Progressive House candidate Kat Abughazaleh has been indicted on federal charges stemming from protests outside an ICE facility outside Chicago. Abughazaleh called the charges "political prosecution" and a "gross attempt to silence dissent, a right protected under the First Amendment."

The military already has every safeguard it needs to protect classified information. What it does not need is an improvised contractual mechanism that could be used to suppress accountability or restrict legitimate oversight. www.thebulwark.com/p/why-milita...

I helped lead the fight to raise the minimum wage in Minnesota - and index it to inflation. I'm going to do the same damn thing in the US Senate.

Jim Himes: "Where does this stop? Do we now start executing drug dealers on the corner of Brooklyn? Where does it stop if all of a sudden the government, without, telling anybody anything, can take this kind of lethal action just because they've decided they've got the right to."

We are not being governed! We are being looted!

Quite a world when a federal judge has to call in a federal official to specifically tell him he can't use tear gas on children in Halloween costumes

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

I like how Zohran Mamdani scandals are like "He called his old cousin his aunt one time" and Andrew Cuomo scandals are like "He sexually assaulted 13 women."

I don't understand this. Members of the military are required to keep national defense information secret - no NDA needed.Unless it's about unlawful orders? I wish we could see a copy of the NDA. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Person, woman, man, Epstein, files, now.
