Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Bernie Sanders: "Trump, if you throw 15 million people off Medicaid, 50,000 of them will die unnecessarily every year, and that is unbelievable that in the richest country in the history of the world, that we would allow that."

Following all. Please follow and follow back those who follow you. Let's help the #Resister community grow. #StrongerTogether

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.

What he said: 💯 🎯

Congress has provided a contingency plan for SNAP to keep the program going for years in case of a shut down. The USDA sneakily took the plan down. Now blue states are suing to continue benefits for their constituents. Where is the money going? #ProudBlue#Voices4Victory #OneV1 apple.news

what? There's no naval shipyard in Philadelphia at all, let alone one that can handle the specialized needs of submarines, or of building nuclear propulsion systems.

NIGHTS OF BLUE SKIES DAY 29 OCTOBER 2025 THESE HORRENDOUS TIMES Democrats in the Senate put a up a stand-alone bill today to save SNAP BENEFITS GOP BLOCKED IT Try to walk in their shoes I think of moms who will skip food to feed their children I think of seniors & veterans & families Omg

‘Change course now’: humanity has missed 1.5C climate target, says UN head

Meiselas: We’re 24 days into the government shutdown, and Trump left the country — the first president in U.S. history to leave the country during a shutdown. This, while food lines are being seen throughout the United States. This is Trump’s America. Food lines like we saw in COVID are back.

The last good president. He also didn’t demolish the White House nor democracy.

Donald Trump is a broken man who's breaking our country.

I just went to the House floor to demand that Speaker Johnson swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the GOP gaveled out without even recognizing us.    We’re not going anywhere. I’m here with Leader Jeffries and Adelita Grijalva. Speaker Johnson must swear her in.

Clearly Trump lied when he said his $250 million ballroom wouldn’t “interfere” with the White House. So who’s watching this mess; the White House Historical Association or the Office of the Curator? Because someone needs to make sure he’s not bulldozing history for a dance floor.

Oh you're trying to say the cost of living is skyrocketing? Donald Trump can't hear you over the sound of bulldozers demolishing a wing of the White House to build a new grand ballroom.

The Coast Guard spent $172 million on the jets, according to The New York Times.

There already was an “I Hate America” rally. It was on January 6th, 2021. The President spoke at it.

Price increases for "things" under Donald Trump: Coffee is up 26% Baby strollers are up 25% Beef is up 14% School supplies are up 7% Electricity is up 5% Car prices are at a RECORD high. And thanks to Republicans in Congress, health insurance premiums are about to DOUBLE.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond. Pay attention and act!

NEW: After over two hours of oral argument in a high-stakes Louisiana redistricting case, the Supreme Court seems ready to scrap fair elections and hand red states the power to freely draw electoral maps that eviscerate the political power of minority voters.

$40B to bailout his friend in Argentina. $0 for USA Healthcare.

Tim Walz: "The biggest myth is that this guy understands business. He's an absolute abject failure at business ... the irony is calling Democrats socialists when I am begging for free markets here to allow capitalism to work. Donald Trump is the one with government interference."

Things to consider: Document the violence & violations--on camera, w/photos, saving images--any way you can. Speaking as a historian- it will matter Point out violations--w/images & text--even if you think it won't matter. It will. It needs to be called out & exposed You are a witness. Expose it.

Reminder....

Herd immunity protects the babies that are too young to be vaccinated. The person that gave the baby measles was almost certainly unvaccinated. When people decide they are not going to be vaccinated, it affects everyone.

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

WWJD? Not what Kilmeade said on Foxnews

Only a man with boundless hate and violence in his heart would act this way.

No one is safe from gun violence in America. We do not have to keep living like this. Instead of inciting more violence, our political leaders should use this moment to unite us around common sense gun reforms that a majority of Americans support.

Elizabeth Warren on people who say Dems needs to tone down their rhetoric: "Oh, please. Why don't you start with the president of the United States? And every ugly meme he's posted and every ugly word."

After heavy corporate lobbying, RFK Jr.'s new MAHA report takes a hands-off approach to Big Ag and "forever chemicals" — despite their connection to rising cancer rates and drinking water contamination. Tell me how this is supposed to make America healthy again?

What Vicky Ward is telling Nicolle Wallace right now is making my hair stand on end. Jeffrey Epstein threatened her unborn twins. He was a fucking monster and Ghislaine should get sent to Max security prison.

The globe now refers to Americans in the same way liberals refer to The South. As deserving of whatever pain is coming. Because we're stupid. Which is our fault. All of us.

Credit to Mika Brzezinski for not putting up with Tom Homan's BS this morning. This was a hard-hitting interview.

The MAGA campaign to capture our courts is here so let’s go: A vote to retain the 3 justices of PA’s Supreme Court means free and fair elections in 26 and 28, and no gerrymandering. It means women keep the right to choose. It means freedom of speech and religion. Pass it on.

Trump could cite a 'porous' election system as a national emergency to take command of our vote, according to election denier Cleta Mitchell — raising urgent concerns about military and law enforcement overreach.

"If we exclude 2020, when the pandemic wreaked havoc on the economy, the first eight months of this year show the slowest job growth in the U.S. since 2009, when the economy was still hemorrhaging jobs from the Great Recession..." www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

This Kennedy is not delusional, self promotional or arrogant. She too is a child of Ethel & Robert F. Kennedy. She is a lawyer, author & human rights advocate and president of the Robert F. Kennedy Human Rights center. Her parents are surely proud of her

Only someone who avoided the draft would want to rename the Department of Defense to the Department of War.

It’s time to teach Susan Collins a lesson.

Countries on track to eliminate cervical cancer: -Australia by 2028 -Sweden by 2027 -Rwanda by 2030 -UK by 2040 -Indonesia by 2030 -Bhutan 2030 -El Salvador by 2030 -Canada by 2040 How? HPV vaccine. Same one RFK Jr is trying to ban. You will note USA is not on this list.

9 CDC Directors going back to 1977 speak out. What RFK Jr has done to our nation’s public health system "should alarm every American." It "is unlike anything we have ever seen at the agency, and unlike anything our country has ever experienced." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/01/o...

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

The NRA buys off Congress. No action on guns. The oil industry buys off Congress. No action on climate. Insurance companies buy off Congress. No action on health care. The list goes on and on. Money in politics is the root of our dysfunction.
