Republicans once again threatening us with a good time

The Senate has defeated an effort by Democrats to force a war powers vote on the U.S. military buildup re: Venezuela. Sen. Rand Paul R-KY & Sen. Lisa Murkowski R-AK were the only two GOP Senators to break ranks.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge McConnell is sharply rebuking the Trump administration for what he said was defying his order to make full SNAP payments by Nov. 5. He has ordered USDA to make the *full* payment to states by tomorrow.

Kudos to our Congresswoman Laura Friedman, CA 30th District calling out President Poopy Pants 💩 youtube.com/shorts/8ZOwf...

🥳🙌

Did Knee-Jerk Contrarianism Ruin the New York Times?

“Resist” stickers are popping up on ICE machines across Chicago. A cute and subtle defiance tactic out in the real world that helps get the message out and normalize resistance.

You think?

“Thank you for your attention to this matter” lol the minority leaders got jokes after yesterday’s results

This is as big a deal as Mamdani actually? In forever fascist ass MS...??? Like....

A clean sweep for Democrats... Trump helped—a lot...

Pretty much

An 18-year-old Oklahoma star athlete and son of a well-known and connected father has skirted accountability for multiple serious crimes of rape and strangulation. Sign the petition now to urge Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond to investigate! share.weareultraviolet.org/s/Hn70hNAy

Bye, Dick

Devastating. Teen Vogue's politics coverage has been incredible and this is a major loss for journalism. Legacy journalism keeps on getting rid of the only people making it worth anything anymore.

Is this supposed to be an argument against it? bsky.app/profile/atru...

This FT account of pure thuggishness of Trump representatives posing as diplomats has not appeared in US media anywhere, but is being widely circulated and reported in media in Europe, the UK and the Asia Pacific area. Be sure to read it all.

The LA cops are celebrating in their own way: with a little police brutality, as a treat.

Right now the U.S. is amassing "the largest U.S. military deployment in Latin America since the Cold War" to provoke a war against Venezuela. In some better alternate timeline, we'd be using all those resources to help our neighbors in Jamaica, Haiti, & Cuba recover from Hurricane Melissa.

this is very good

If this guy loses I think we're done with everything and I don't mean that in a hyperbolic sense at all. Like if this guy can't get elected, our hearts are too fucking dark to be happy and hope for a brighter future because it'll mean we chose Cuomo

Jobs vanishing, SNAP running out, prices climbing, people going hungry, and billionaires building ballrooms. THAT is the “Trump Effect”

Hey looka here: a pretty good argument that these people can easily afford to pay some more taxes.

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."

Even if the House was fully functional, they're in session for an avg of 147 days and out for 218. Under Speaker Johnson, Congress has been in session only 12 of the last 97 days, and he still won't swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva. These are the people who demand Work Requirements.😐

God damn it South Korea we just had a No Kings protest

If you work for the Trump/Bondi Justice Department and tell the truth, you will be fired. Federal judges should take note.

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

What we're witnessing with #Melissa is ultra rare in the history of known hurricanes in the Atlantic. This level of sustained intensity and feasting on every joule of ocean heat content without any real disruption is incredible. Not hyperbole: Jamaica is facing a generational catastrophic event.

⚠️ Hurricane #Melissa is now a Cat 5 storm with sustained winds near 175mph that is also slow moving (meaning higher rainfall totals). It is about to make a direct hit on Jamaica—a worst case scenario. My thoughts are with the people in Jamaica and those with loved ones there.

@jollygoodginger.bsky.social is great. Following around the national guard with General Milleys speech and the imperial march. They are running away from the words. Not all heros wear capes, Jolly should wear one. #VetsAgainstTrump

Who knew witnessing a murder could make you laugh

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Your gentle reminder that Rep. Melissa Hortman was assassinated on June 14 and hardly anyone bothered to talk about it .

Women are being erased at the Pentagon. Women are being erased from history. And now a woman has been erased from the desecrated White House.

I just signed up for a vegan dumpling making class at Echo Park's Men & Beasts in December. I'm already hungry. resy.com/cities/los-a...

It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.
