The utter stupidity of pursuing a criminal trial against someone for throwing a sandwich that bounced off a bullet proof vest pissing away hundreds of thousands of dollars for this joke is the perfect encapsulation of this Administration.

If sandwich shops don’t start offering a sandwich named “the acquittal” then what are we even doing

BREAKING: A federal judge ordered Trump to get full SNAP benefits out by tomorrow. The judge made clear Trump broke the law by *choosing* to force kids to go hungry for "political reasons." "Children are immediately at risk of going hungry. This should never happen in America."

Layoffs rise to recession-like levels in October. Best economy in the world. All he had to do was not fuck it up, and he fucked it up. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

The petite Madam Speaker is a GIANT among leaders. Thank you Madam Speaker!!

Finally common sense reigns! Justice prevails.

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

I like that answer Mr Speaker! Keep to your bubble!

Excellent!!

You may think your vote doesn't matter, but if you don't vote, your silence will matter.  - CK

This is called pay to play. It is also illegal. So what’s needed is for members of Congress to stop it.

❤️Obama!

The Blue Jays have all the wow moments in this game so far.

It’s hard for us to articulate; the Republicans are actively trying to destroy all that is good in our America. We must speak this way because it’s true. All the nobility that exists in art, music, literature, religion— they are not this, they are a darkness that destroys this, an anti-civilization.

It is NOT normal!

I’ll be glad when we run this regime out of power and we do something about those ICE assholes. They should be tried for their crimes against humanity.

It will be interesting to see if Trump's , Homeland Security Secretary is human.

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.”

High Risk pool don't work

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

OK looks like everyone is worried about what happens once the regime goes away.

If he's having trouble sleeping, it's his conscience keeping him awake - & for good reason!

If you are able to, please contribute to your local food bank this week

NEVER FORGET: Donald Trump & the GOP REFUSE to negotiate with Democrats for extension of ACA Subsidies which = $32B. Donald Trump gave $40B to Argentina, 75B to ICE, & TRILLIONS in tax cuts to the 1%. Trump's America!

I Agree With This Statement!

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country. He is a clear and present danger.

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.

Eric is a Missouri congressman. He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

Thank You for your Service!

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Right there with Jess. Invoke Amendment 25!

40+ million Americans could lose food aid in days. The USDA is sitting on $5-6 billion in emergency funds — money Congress already set aside for crises like this — and refusing to use it. This could become the largest hunger crisis since the Great Depression. #BlueSky #MedSky #NewsSky #NurseSky

MAGA not even on the list! Interesting.

"Trump tariffs force cancellation of Hudson Valley's long-running Christmas festival. Organizers said tariffs 'tripled' costs of stars and lights..." www.timesunion.com/hudsonvalley...

Did the Supreme Court not understand this would happen?

Yes - has to be about the Epstein Files

Donald just demolished the east wing. Presidents are supposed to be the caretakers of The People’s House. But like government, he doesn’t care open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Apparently those who survived would have contradicted the official narrative.

This is a true assault on the American public.

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

Defend democracy right now--there are 52,000 elections in 2 weeks, in 2025. Voting rules for 2026 in Maine; PA Supreme Court makeup; NJ and VA Gov and state legislatures; and lots more. Off-year elections are all about turnout. Wherever you live, help get out the vote. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Murder on the high seas!

🤬 When is Enough, Enough!?
