$40B of your money to this guy, so he can dance at CPAC at Mar-a-Lago while Americans wait for their paychecks, hoping the money actually comes.

Pam Bondi deserves to face consequences for her actions

“…Racism is something that the powerful use to split the powerless. This is something, in analysis, that dates back to W. E. B. Du Bois’s masterwork, “Black Reconstruction,” which is still the best work about the American ideology. The wealthy elite faced a labor movement. Poor whites, …” /2

Ten miles to the record store, in the snow uphill both ways. But kids these days, they don’t believe us.

To every Trump voter on SNAP, you hear Republicans calling you lazy, right? They’re saying you’re fat and that you don’t work. That’s YOUR party. They’re letting you starve while accusing you of asking for handouts you don’t deserve. Did you vote for that?

Now if the rest of the country would wake up like New Yorkers...and realise when big money supports a candidate that candidate sure as hell ain't gonna support you.

"The administration is rapidly gutting a 2022 law intended to ensure that a sliver of the country’s most profitable corporations pay at least some federal income tax...It was projected to raise $222 billion over a decade.” a @jessedrucker.bsky.social investigation www.nytimes.com/2025/11/08/b...

I prefer the singular possessive, "Oh, for fuck's sake." It just sounds more professional.

Old fishing nets from France become vital protection against Russian drones in Ukraine

Lest we forget, every chickensh*t Republican in Congress is complicit in the madness Trump is unleashing on the American people. This isn't governance, it's terrorism. Trump's Gilded Age and State-Sponsored Terror open.substack.com/pub/lincolns...

🇺🇦 Ukraine is working with partners, with US, to buy additional Patriots, - Zelensky Overnight, the Ukrainian Defense Forces neutralized more than 400 drones, which is a significant result of the unmanned systems units, army aviation, and mobile fire groups. There is a EW operation.

Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.

Lock them up!

THIS is what the sick man that is ruining our country lives for. It’s grotesque. He’s grotesque. A real leader would’ve stayed in DC and worked TO FEED HUNGRY PEOPLE. But nope, all the MAGA “leaders” are vacationing while the country goes to hell. “A little party never killed nobody.” Sick.

Trump entering the patio at Mar-a-Lago last weekend. Ex-wife Marla Maples is behind him.

No one likes you Trump. You lied about everything you campaigned on, nothing is better, everything is worse and now you are starving America's most vulnerable people. In other words: You SUCK!

In case you missed yesterday's great news!

⚠️ It should make every American sick that the Supreme Court is siding with a man fighting to not feed hungry children.

To circumvent the regime's prohibition on offering discounts to SNAP recipients, this grocer is offering a 10% discount to all customers on an honor system - ask for it if you need it. I hope more places will follow suit. I believe in the goodness of others to not abuse the goodwill of kind people.

Chump and His Supremely Corrupt Court Are Starving Americans......

Hell awaits🔥

Tuesday we showed up as a prepared, united community & it showed..Let's keep going & ride high amongst the waves. Ridin' high amongst the waves I can feel like I have a soul that has been saved I can see the light comin' through the clouds in rays I gotta say it now Better loud than too late- PJ

Donald, if SNAP recipients promise to only buy bread, milk, and hamburger, will you continue their benefits? If they promise to be miserable? I know how it pains you to hear they sometimes eat cookies or chips, or feast on a pork chop, or splurge on raisin bread, so would this please you?

Trump and republicans ran on issues they had no intention of adhering to. They have raised prices with illegal tariffs, not lowered. They are arresting and terrorizing legal immigrants and citizens, not violent criminals as promised. And #TrumpsShutdownDragsOn #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory

Exactly. Fuck off Mike Johnson. And fuck off billionaires who by getting away with not paying their share of taxes has left the majority of us broke, sick and suffering. Yes, exactly. Fuck off!!! #Pinks

Trump arrives in FL for another weekend of parties and golf while his attorneys fight in the Supreme Court to deny food to SNAP beneficiaries despite a court order.

This is a big deal, although a lot will depend on what #SCOTUS does in the Illinois case (in which we don’t expect a ruling until the week of November 17 at the earliest).

Here's the promised longer explainer: www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

The wording of this is highly unusual, and suggests that Justice Jackson is expecting the First Circuit to rule on a stay pending appeal (a longer pause of the district court's order) in the next few days. I'll have more to say about this in "One First" as soon as I can write it up.

#BREAKING: Justice Jackson has issued an "administrative" stay, temporarily pausing a district court order that would've required the USDA to continue using contingency funds to pay SNAP benefits. The stay expires 48 hours after the First Circuit rules on USDA's request for a stay pending appeal.

Trying to figure out what #SCOTUS just did with #SNAP, and why Justice Jackson temporarily froze the district court's ruling? Via "One First," me on what's going on—and why I think Jackson's move was savvy, notwithstanding the awful circumstances that forced it: www.stevevladeck.com/p/190-snap-wtf

If you’re trying to catch up on what went down with #SNAP late last night at #SCOTUS, here’s my attempt to read the breadcrumbs on the “administrative stay” issued by Justice Jackson—and why a justice so critical of the Court’s grants of emergency relief to Trump still granted temporary relief here:

He was just mad because someone else was getting the attention due to him.
