Holy crap! Please vote!!!

Really? You're gonna make me do this one? Thou Shalt Not Starve Your Own People. There you go.

Your cat when you're choking to death in your apartment

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

this looks like a trick daffy duck would put up to get bugs bunny into "the oval office"

Trump tries to build a fake wall of inevitability around everything he does. Today, voters - literally from sea to shining sea - broke through all that, and this is just the beginning.

💯

It felt good to wake up in America today.

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.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

hire all the fired political teen vogue writers and make a new magazine call teen rogue. we’ll all subscribe en masse

More truth tellers silenced. Grrrr.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Grrrr

This is an excellent idea!!!

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

These are proud boy thugs in cosplay. CRUSH ICE!

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees aren’t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar. End the 6 week paid vacation you’ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

Have they given up on the whole Ten Commandments part?

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink. I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

What he said: 💯 🎯

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

Scumbag

OK, regardless of source, credit where due: That's a great headline.

The richest administration in American history and they’re keeping snap hostage

Good Christian values. Massaging a married man’s head whilst donning skin-tight leather pants. But don’t let drag queens read to your kids.

What kind of recently widowed woman rubs her hands through a married man’s hair? Not to mention the vice president of the United States? this is so strange.

We have progressed from data collection to data analysis.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

BREAKING: 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims are urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Adelita Grijalva. STOP IGNORING THE EPSTEIN VICTIMS!

Prison would be more appropriate

Kristi Noem is telling bald-faced lies about ICE arrests. More than 70% of those detained have no criminal convictions. 170+ of those arrested or detained have been American citizens.

Kristi Noem is lying.

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program. Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor. She thinks your too dumb to remember

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97. 12 days of work in over 3 months. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
