So if Biden said (Checking notes), that he was a "Corrupt Businessman" it would be OK When does Comer end up in a wood chipper? Can Polymarket take that bet yet? (BlueSky moderation team - YOU REALLY THINK THIS IS VIOLENCE? - HAVE YOU SEEN THE OTHER SIDE?)

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Did you know this? 😳 WTF?

This morning we dropped off 5,000+ petition signatures in Springfield, nearly 5x what we needed to get on the ballot. IL-09 is ready for change, and we couldn’t have done it without you. Thank you. See you on the ballot on March 17.

Thought for the day ⬇️

Kudos to this guy. That's a solution to a problem. This should be expanded on with other farmers. Why let produce rot in the fields when you can feed families?

Letting people go hungry in this shutdown is a choice Trump is intentionally making.   He could tell the USDA to use contingency funds to ensure families get their SNAP benefits on November 1st, he’s just choosing not to.

What did people do before SNAP?” They died. Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival. They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

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

September 29, 2023 Mike Davis: "We're gonna deport a lot of people, 10 million people and growing - anchor babies, their parents, their grandparents. We're gonna put kids in cages. It's gonna be glorious."

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

ICE Facility unlawfully denies routine visit from Member of Congress Congressman Horsford about the incident: "What are they hiding? You don't get to slam the door on a Member of Congress during a routine ICE visit.

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.

This is a highly workable idea. This man can COMMUNICATE. I understand he doesn't want a political role, but @petebuttigieg.bsky.social, if you love 🇺🇲 (as you undoubtedly do), please consider some role on the national level‼️

Apparently "not touching the White House" turned into "demolishing the White House"

Next year, we'll welcome 125,000 new New Yorkers to our city. But many families don't have what they need to give their babies a healthy start. Building on @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social's pilot, we'll launch citywide Baby Baskets, providing new parents with essential items and resources.

So the current mayor is a crook. The former governor is a crook. The "beret dude" is a crook. But you cannot find the spine to endorse the only non-criminal in the race who BELONGS TO YOUR PARTY, because he's a Muslim? A Democratic Socialist? Or is it because he's making you look like a fool?
