Our times

☠️😭

wait but Speaker Johnson said there was no contingency fund? 🤷🏼

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. It’s astoundingly anti-Christ.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

I have a flight this weekend and I’m more than a little concerned… The shutdown affects us all: • Air travel: TSA and FAA slowdowns = delays, canceled flights, less safe • SNAP + WIC: Millions lose food assistance • Farmers: No crop payments, disaster aid, market reports 1/2

this is insane. www.kivitv.com/canyon-count...

Rep. Ryan Zinke: "Our economy is not great."

For those of you keeping score As of late October 2025, the House of Representatives has been in session for 137 days in 2025

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

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

Johnson basically says it here

Shit like this is why I have trust issues with some senate candidates.

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

BREAKING: Furloughed employees at CDC just received an email about the shutdown, but has REMOVED language about backpay that appeared in a similar email sent out a month ago. On the left is the Oct 1st email with the backpay language, on the right is the email they received today.

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need… Question: “How long is this sustainable.” Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

House speaker cops to starving the poor for political gain #Trump

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Nowhere in this Politico profile of the person trying to primary Nancy Pelosi does the publication disclose the writer, Alex Thomas, is MARRIED to former California Dem congresswoman Katie Hill (who resigned facing allegations of improper sexual relations with staff)

Um can I ask a question. What if the reason they don’t want to release SNAP contingency dollars is because it’s not there and was already reallocated to something else that we don’t know anything about? PLausible

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

between covid and cutting off snap, donald trump will have killed more americans than al qaeda

Eternity has revealed himself.

… pearls?

Rep. Crow: I'm walking away without an understanding of how and why they're making an assessment that the use of lethal force on Venezuelan boats is adequate. I heard no strategy, no end game, no assessment of how they are going to end the flow of drugs into the US.

ABANDONED THE TODDLER IN THE BACKSEAT Arrest these motherfuckers for child endangerment

What IS the June 2024 special grand jury?

Mamdani's proposal for a 2% tax multi millionaires & billionaires to fund childcare, and lower transportations cost for the working class. How dare he touch their billions!! The billionaires: Let them eat sh*t!! fortune.com/2025/10/28/b...

This is what you enabled with all your talk of groceries and a funny laugh, with all your talk of shareholder profits, with your eye on mergers, your obsession with deregulation, and your “both sides” excuses. You have betrayed the promise of this country. www.cnn.com/2025/10/30/p...

BRUTAL- NYT makes it clear Xi played Trump, letting him claim victory even though he just “restored the status quo” (getting 🇨🇳 to purchase fewer soybeans than last year) “Xi projected the confidence of a powerful leader who could make Washington blink” www.nytimes.com/2025/10/30/w...

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

@jessicatarlov.bsky.social's middle name is 🔥🔥🔥

PEORIA, Ill. (AP) — Illinois deputy found guilty of murder in the shooting of Sonya Massey, a Black woman who called 911 asking for help.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

NEW: North Carolina Republicans have, yet again, gerrymandered the state’s congressional districts. This time, it comes at the cost of the state’s Black voters. But there remains a path to defeating the measure, and it starts at the state’s highest court.

I must confess. Maga has no place in my life. Ever. I hate them all.

This is so fucked up.

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.
