When he starts talking about the Bible and his “faith” and, I’m sorry, sounding like a Christian liberal, you can hear his voice suddenly switch to something more Obama-voice

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Sean Dunn press conference!!

I’ll keep pushing this line of analysis because I’m increasingly convinced the clearest path out of this mess is for Dems to adopt a relentless anti-corruption, anti-inequality, anti-oligarchy, pro-democracy platform. The Dem leadership hasn’t realized it yet, but they’re now a reform party.

Do not terrorize people!

I must say, it’s been a pretty decent week in America. Congratulations to our favorite sandwich slinger! 👏👏👏 www.reuters.com/world/washin...

Devastating— “I’m afraid for my parents to leave the house. They treat us like dogs because of the color of our skin. I shouldn’t be scared, I should be focusing on school.” A 16yo American living in fear of the Trump regime’s ICE goons terrorizing brown people pleads for help.

Q: Food prices are still going up. Grocery prices are still going up. How do you respond? MIKE JOHNSON: All of the economist have shown that food prices always go up. There's an inflationary level that's built in to grocery prices.

Missouri is the only state in the nation to tax income, but not capital gains. We are also ranked 50th in the nation for education funding.

incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty

Every month for the last 77 years, the Bureau of Labor Statistics has estimated Americans' unemployment rate This streak dies tomorrow Govt staff could not survey Americans about whether they're working or looking for work in Oct, the 1st time in 934 months This blind spot will remain forever

America you have lost your way.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased. Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power. Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable. But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless. Remember this.

The US president was ordered by the courts to use designated funds to FEED qualified citizens and he is FIGHTING TO KEEP THEM HUNGRY

They are gonna try pretty hard to make voting illegal now I think. We will still defeat them

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Welp — @davidhogg.bsky.social to Scott Jennings: "People are tired of being lectured by men with Rolexes on CNN about affordability in this country. That’s why Zohran is resonating."

Who needs Halloween when America is an actual horror-show?

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Oh America, you have truly lost your soul.

Starting to think sticking a couple Slim Jims into a mottled hunk of Spam, slapping some corn silk on top, teaching it to steal and calling it POTUS wasn’t such a great idea for America.

“.. If a court comes to that conclusion, and also determines that Halligan acted alone in securing the indictments of Comey and James, those indictments “become invalid because she didn't have lawful authority” to bring them, Berry said. @reuters.com www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

Venezuela claims it foiled Trump plot to stage 'false flag' attack on US warship

Our new health insurance premium feels more like a shakedown‼️ Thank you, @politicsgirl.bsky.social , for sharing your story. You’re right—there are millions like you. Our new premium is over $3K/month for a family of three. Could we scrape it together? Maybe. Should we have to? No. 1/2

SCOOBY-DOO TAUGHT US THAT IN THE END THE MONSTERS WERE ALWAYS PEOPLE.

When people tell me, "Things will never be the same again!," I remind them...that nothing is ever the same again. Both in good times...and bad. Our job is to turn it around...no matter how many years that may take...and make Goddamn sure things are NEVER the same again. We'll make it better.

Oh America, we are truly lost.

"As he was being taken to jail on the DUI charge, the intoxicated [ICE] agent not only asked the deputy if he was Haitian, but told another deputy he was going to check the deputy’s immigration status after he was released, the camera footage shows." apple.news/AzK8-ecHXRkCUJfZwqKwurg

'Destroying it from within': Analyst unmasks secret GOP plot behind shutdown

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

Love is love.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Stephen Miller wants you to give up. Fuck that guy. Keep going, everybody!

ICE caught making illegal license plate change on their vehicle.

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.

If scientists ran the same experiment as many times as Dem campaign strategists have tried the experiment of throwing progressives under the bus to pander to the right and failed, they'd accept it as irrefutable proof that their theory is flawed and adjust accordingly.

Burchett is Burchetting again.
