Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

True, but Johnson never heard of the Constitution. It's not in his wheelhouse.

SCOTUS has really gone down hill. One more extremely bad decision from this SCOTUS!

She's 85 years old. That might have something to do with retiring.

Texas… it’s not just Grijalva…. #TrumpEpsteinFilesCoverUp

A few mushrooms from today's hike. #fungifriends

What an irresponsible waste of time, money, and available court time. Pam Bondi is yet one more incompetent hack is the Trump regime. www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Instead of Bernie Moreno creepily following us to the cars we use to get to work in the Capitol and writing down their VIN numbers, I'd suggest he use his time in more productive ways …

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. A new generation that renews the “we” in “we the people.” Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as part of its future.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Armed with a sandwich. What next, marshmallows?

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.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

"exododus" The New York Post: Come for the shameless propaganda, stay for the embarrassing illiteracy.

#spider webs from last week.

"Questionable Stropharia" (?) out in force in northern California. #fungifriends

30+ days of partisan messaging that drives a needless, harmful wedge between the public and the Forest Service. Please continue to report this Hatch Act violation to the Office of Special Counsel and communicate to your Congressional delegation that this is not just inappropriate, but harmful.

What an odd set of options offered in the CBS News Poll. DEI but nothing about democracy or rule of law.👀

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Can someone direct me to the GOP improvement plan for the ACA that they have been promising for 15 years? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan. I never made it out of the House.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Trump’s pardon is blatant corruption. I’m introducing legislation this week that calls for banning presidents, elected officials, and their families from trading crypto.

Congratulations to the Netherlands for showing authoritarianism the door! It can be done - Wilders' far-right party just lost 12 seats in their 150 seat House of Representatives, leaving them only 25. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/w...

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Corporations hate this one trick. It may create the right conditions to neuter Citizens United. Lead the way Montana and thank you. prospect.org/2025/10/27/m...

I have been a navy officer, not american. We had many USA ships visiting us in the caribbean. Many US officers were guest in our longroom. We drank together, sometimes too much. It is beyond me how they can obey orders to commit PIRACY, murdering civilians withou due process COURT MARTIAL

"No person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice" How hard is the 22nd Amendment to understand?

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

Hours before this he was bragging about how he supposedly aced a cognitive exam.

Finally a few mushrooms are starting to show up around here. #fungifriends

Excellent thread. Everything you wanted to know about the White House complex.

The decline isn’t subtle anymore.

I can’t qWHITE figure out what’s wrong here.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96. 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.

What if we held hands and watched the rare bigfin squid?

ah yes, “concerns” and “questions,” the syllabus of every class in the Susan Collins School of Furrowed Brows

I know this is obvious. And I know we all know this. But if the President can raise taxes because an advert annoyed him, without even consulting Congress, then the US constitution is simply not functioning as intended.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house. Remove him from office.

A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works. We are off the cliff, folks. 🇺🇸 www.cnn.com/2025/10/25/b...

A new report finds corporations like Kroger and McDonald's are using digital loyalty programs to track your data and potentially charge you more. It's a tactic known as surveillance pricing. Former FTC Chair Lina Khan explains. https://youtu.be/-cbtUYshYM8?si=GPRt5_WnLehnjgWR

Another 10% to wipe your butt America.

Your regular reminder that we desperately need to overturn Citizens United and get big money out of politics. It is among the worst Supreme Court decisions in history. It corrupts our political system every day.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube. Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X). *1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.” youtu.be/5t5QK03KXPc
