Democrats didn't campaign on LGBTQ rights. Trans people weren't even permitted to speak at the DNC. This is the most persistent lie about the 2024 campaign, and it keeps being pushed by grown adults who should know better.

If the current administration ever ends, many people in (and around) it will need to be prosecuted. From influence peddling to flat-out murder, their crimes seem to accumulate each and every day.

The government is shut down because Trump stooges want to double health insurance costs for struggling Americans. And now, because Mike Johnson hasn't even had House Republicans show up for work since Sept. 19, many of those Americans are losing food benefits.

Forgive the grammer but AINT NO SUCH THING AS A ROUTINE MRI!!! Something wrong with the old orange dude. You get an MRI to see what is causing said complaint by patient.

“Dysfunctional government” doesn’t even begin to describe this. 1.4 million civilian federal employees didn’t get a paycheck. And the part no one’s talking about: even if the government reopens tomorrow, we’ll be right back on the edge by November 21—the next shutdown deadline. Chaos on repeat.

THE LIES‼️ Trump forced through the East Wing demolition by firing three members of Biden’s planning committee and replacing them with his own loyalists. Now his handpicked insiders control a quiet but powerful board that decides what happens to the White House itself.

While the top 1% control $54 TRILLION (not a typo)

Crockett: You have a president who consistently is obsessing over two women of color that are members of the house, I don't know what black woman hurt him in his past, honey, but it is really taking him through it.

TEN YEARS AGO WRITER: "How about a novel with a crazy president who can't stop talking about his new $300 million gold ballroom while millions of Americans go without food." AGENT: "That's a little heavy-handed. No politician would be that stupid. Come up with a more subtle, believable scenario."

It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now

My two takeaways on this: 1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there. 2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is on to President Donald Trump’s plan to undermine free and fair elections. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

Here, everyone belongs. HEB donating $5 mil to food banks in TX & $1 mil specifically to Meals on Wheels, which centers on the elderly & disabled. Our govt should be ensuring every citizen can eat, but they're a bunch of cowardly putzes. news4sanantonio.com/news/local/h...

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

In case facts still matter

I see that the United States' peculiar brand of Christian Nationalism includes judging the poor for needing SNAP benefits (judging is something Jesus said *not to* do) but not helping the poor with SNAP benefits (helping the poor is something Jesus told them *to* do).

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.” @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So Argentina gets a $40 billion bailout from our tax dollars but devastated small towns here at home — nothing.

"For every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There's no way we can meet that gap. There's no way we can replace every single one of those meals. It is not sustainable for food banks to fill this gap. We were not built to do this."

“Hey. I’m the actual Zohran Mamdani. Not the guy they talk about on this channel.” Zohran runs an ad on Fox News to undercut their endless unhinged fearmongering and greed-fueled racism.

CBS News circles the drain as it continues its Newsmaxification under Bari Weiss

Walz: "We have a federal system that we're all in it together, we help other states when they need it, but we have a situation where they're trying to divide us & provide specific aid to states that they like at the moment, which is absolutely unconscionable... either that or give us our money back"

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Why is Trump celebrating in a foreign country while Americans are going without a paycheck and millions are on the verge of losing SNAP?

The far-left Biden/Harris is not pure enough for us 'free 'Palestine- I'm not voting for them. The far-left- Graham Platner didn't know his tattoos were about Nazis-I'm still supporting him, Democrats hate him because he's not bought by AIPAC

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Stop trying to sweeten the deal, Andrew. I'm already voting for Zohran!

Dear Maga: This here is how you are seen.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026. I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

His plan to go after the midterms is clear

Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon on Chicago: "[Greg Bovino] was filmed lobbing a tear gas canister into a crowd...deliberately trying to provoke a confrontation."

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

So much hand-wringing about SNAP fraud. Meanwhile the people scamming SNAP recipients have an operation that can scam nearly $23million in 2 days. JUST IN MARYLAND. Stealing info from EBT cards esp at gas stations is a real threat. www.thebanner.com/economy/secr...

youtube.com/watch?v=n_yh... Excellent! Every State in the Union should do this. This regime will not last forever and we need to have agencies full of people watching so we can enforce accountability.

As Toni Morrison said, "the very serious function of racism is distraction. It keeps you from doing your work." But she also reminded us never to lose our capacity to be shocked. Part of my conversation on @ayman.msnbc.com earlier today.

“We don’t have illegal aliens… the legal term for my people were slaves….” 🚨This is what leadership looks and sounds like in 2025.✊🏼

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

As you enjoy picking and carving your #Halloween pumpkin, remember the farm workers who labored to grow and harvest them. Let's give a big thanks to the Salinas CA farm workers who harvested these pumpkins that have ended up at local pumpkin patches and area stores. #WeFeedYou

Today, California celebrates Filipino American labor leader Larry Itliong, a trailblazer during one of the most pivotal movements for farmworker rights in U.S. history. His commitment to unity and social justice continues to inspire Californians today.
