My 90-second breakdown repost from IG on the SNAP benefits SCOTUS stay

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

If Donald Trump continues at his current pace and the U.S. national debt keeps rising by $23 billion per day from $38 trillion in October 2025, it could reach approximately $64.8 trillion by December 2028, a debt increase of $26.8 trillion.

"Google appears to have blocked AI search results for the query 'does trump show signs of dementia' as well as other questions about his mental acuity, even though it will show AI results for similar searches about other presidents."

What will poor Eric Adams do for work? That’s nbody’s business but the Turks!

Whoa www.bloomberg.com/features/202...

EXCLUSIVE: State Rep. James Talarico will jump into the Texas Senate race.

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.

ICYMI: watch this highlight reel from RFK Jr’s Senate hearings yesterday. What you heard is real. He was completely unhinged and disconnected from reality. It’s clear, Kennedy is dangerous and should never have been confirmed.

Outside the ICE facility in Broadview, IL this morning— Masked agents in unmarked cars are arriving at work. DHS will be using the de facto detention center as their main "processing" site for the impending Chicago ICE surge. Protesters are gathering, with a large number of press here as well.

Pritzker: It appears they are amassing ICE officers… It’s been reported that about 300 officers are planning to come in and do what they did in LA — terrorize neighborhoods and cause mayhem. Their plan is to create enough chaos on the ground that troops will have to be called in

DOJ Deputy Chief Joseph Schnitt admitted that the government will "redact every republican" and "leave all the liberal, democratic people” on the Epstein client list. He also said Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a minimum securithy prison as "a benefit to keep her mouth shut."

For your situational awareness.

It’s corruption, plain and simple.

I know this sounds crazy, but shouldn’t the Secretary of Energy know something about energy?

Pritzker: "It breaks my heart to report that we have been told ICE will try to disrupt community picnics and peaceful parades. Let's be clear -- the terror and cruelty is the point, not the safety of anybody living here."

KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024) ht: @cwebbonline.com

My name is Graham Platner and I’m running for US Senate to defeat Susan Collins and topple the oligarchy that’s destroying our country. I’m a veteran, oysterman, and working class Mainer who’s seen this state become unlivable for working people. And that makes me deeply angry.

The thing about transgender mass shooters is that Trump is in the Epstein Files.

"It's further eroding...the credibility of those who are in leadership positions in our military, that they would allow full military honors to someone who lost their life while committing the act of sedition." Michael Fanone discusses Ashli Babbitt with JVL:

No notes

What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

Vaccines do not cause autism.

Going to be wild to have Clarence Thomas and other members of the court write that even the appearance of impropriety is sufficient to allow the President to remove Federal Reserve members from office, and then head off to Harlan Crow’s yacht

Illinois Gov. Pritzker vows to pursue Trump officials who participate in an illegal National Guard deployment to Chicago: "If you hurt my people, nothing will stop me - not time or political circumstance - from making sure that you face justice under our constitutional rule of law."

🤘🙂☕ stevenwilhelm555 Steven

Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files

I made a promise to the women of Illinois — as governor, I will ensure your medical decisions will be your own. Now, we continue fulfilling that promise. Public colleges will now provide contraception and medication abortion at on-campus pharmacies and student health centers.

Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire www.ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/nih-c...

someone in the strength in numbers discord sent along this gerrymandered CA map. lmao www.davesredistricting.org/maps#viewmap...

Thank you, Boston Globe. This is how it's done.

ARIZONA: “(Voucher) parents bought diamond rings, luxury clothing, dog food, grills, mopeds with public education dollars….” A handout for the wealthy. This has been @GovBillLee’s #1 priority. #LeesVoucherScam www.12news.com/article/news...

Oh my God

SAN BERNARDINO, CA: Trump’s Gestapo shoots at a family that fled when they refused to ID themselves and smashed the family’s windows. (Last week they chased a man from Home Depot onto the 210 freeway and he was struck and killed: www.latimes.com/california/s...)

DAILY MEMO: ICE Brutalizes and Sends High-Profile Female TikToker Who Documents Raids to Hospital @eltragon.bsky.social

When you’re having trouble with your DUI field test…

An unarmed veteran was attacked from behind, sustaining injuries and being dragged into a Portland ice building.

I was born an underdog. 21 surgeries by the age of 12 for spina bifida. A kid wearing goodwill hand-me-downs. I knew nothing would come easy, but I never doubted my right to the American dream. Now, I'm running for the U.S. Senate to make sure all Iowans have a shot at theirs.

🔥 Rep. @jamestalarico.bsky.social to Will Cain : "Do you know how many Republicans joined Dems in Congress to ban gerrymandering? All the Democrats voted for it. 0 Republicans voted for it. Spare me your both sides rhetoric."

GOV. PRITZKER: "It's cheating. Trump is a cheater. He cheats on his wives. He cheats at golf. And now he's trying to cheat the American people out of their votes."

Stephen Colbert is going SCORCHED EARTH right now. To RFK Jr: “Fuck you, you roid-addled nepo carnie! Fuck you, you roadkill-munching Luddite human slim jim!”

It ain't going away, no it ain't going away....

Finally, a united nation.
