Republicans: able-bodied people should get a job and go to work, not live off government benefits Also Republicans: we've worked 103 days this year and we're not even thinking about coming back to work until 2026

California sues the White House to restore SNAP benefits as cutoff looms.

I'm delighted to share that my dear friend, Kathy Eldon, has released her inspiring new book. This award-winning filmmaker, author, and activist has poured her wisdom into creating a creative and courageous companion for navigating life’s wild terrain. Highly recommend! kathyeldon.com/boundless

Maternal health care advocates speak out against Medicaid cuts Founder of the National Birth Equity Collaborative Dr. Joia Crear-Perry, and maternal health advocate Tatyana Ali, discuss the maternal mortality crisis in the wake of the government shutdown.

2,500 pantries supported across the state $80M in state funds fast-tracked for distribution 390 @calvolunteers.bsky.social — with hundreds more waiting in the wings And National Guard men and women deployed, proud to be the good guys We will not just let Californians in need go hungry.

“I am proud to be a citizen. I want my children to have a country of which they can be proud to be citizens. I am distressed, but I am not in despair. I’m going to fight — we’re going to fight — until our last breath for this country and our democracy.” open.substack.com/pub/luciantr...

The shutdown debate over expiring enhanced ObamaCare subsidies has put Republicans on the defensive over health care, reopening old wounds over the 2017 attempt to repeal and replace the law.

The decline isn’t subtle anymore.

Passing Prop 50 in California is absolutely essential to fighting back against Trump and the GOP’s gerrymandering agenda.

Trump screws his voters again: He just denied disaster aid to Maryland (while giving it to red states). But I took a look and it turns out the suffering Maryland counties are in Appalachia and backed him by 40 and 54 points. On the pod, @stevebenen.com and I discuss: newrepublic.com/article/2022...

This is something, a 2026 Montana ballot measure would prevent state-chartered corporations from campaign spending, and would force out-of-state corporations doing business in Montana to abide by the restrictions. Harold Meyerson explains Montana's anti-corporate history & the potential of this law:

JUST THE FACTS…👇 Enjoy. 😎✨

Today's "One First" explains why Stephen Miller is wrong that ICE officers have "federal immunity" from prosecution for all actions they take in their official duties, and that anyone attempting to prosecute them is committing a felony. Supremacy Clause immunity is a thing, but it's *not* absolute:

40% of SNAP recipients are kids, 18% are elderly, 11% are disabled and of the rest, ~70% already have jobs. So unless your company’s hiring Junior Juice Box Interns, grandma and her walker, or knows how to fit more hours in a day, maybe cool it with the “just get a job” takes.

The GOP in Congress are worse than useless. They are craven enablers of murder.

@aoc at the rally for Mamdani Sunday in NYC. “This city was built by the Irish escaping famine, Italians fleeing fascism, Black Americans fleeing slavery and Jim Crow, Latinos seeking a better life, Native people standing for themselves, Asian Americans coming together…” So good!! 🔥

“Rather than merely providing routine banking services to Epstein, Bank of America went far beyond what a non-complicit bank would have done and instead assisted Epstein in setting up the necessary financial structure to operate his sex-trafficking venture,” the 49-page lawsuit says. No paywall

What a wonderful idea…👇 Let’s. Do. This. ✨

Today’s America…👇 Sad, but true. Enjoy. 😎✨

Author Michael Wolff: “The fear is that Ghislaine Maxwell can tie Trump to the details of what Trump & Epstein called the pu**y Committee. The pu**y Committee consisted of Trump and Epstein in their efforts to get girls for Prince Andrew”

Nine months ago I put most of my hope in major institutions continuing to hold fascism in check, but had little expectation that regular people with little to no power would step up and put themselves at risk. I had it exactly backward.

Lock him up!

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

DID YOU THINK IT WOULD GET THIS BAD WHEN YOU VOTED TO RE-ELECT HIM? HE’S NOT DONE YET.

BREAKING: After four US citizens were arrested by ICE, the NY Attorney General has unveiled a web portal for the public to share and upload footage of ICE for the state to use as evidence for prosecution. THAT’S how you do it!!
