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."

Thank you, @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for saying what no one else will “The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.”

Right wing friends have asked me to pray for people in Jamaica as a Cat 5 hurricane is bearing down on them. I would ask them to vote for people who are willing to combat climate change instead of dismissing it as a hoax.

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.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.

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.

Trump has shredded the Constitution. He's taken an axe to checks and balances. Now he's literally wrecking the White House to build a ballroom for his billionaire allies. It's the perfect symbol for his presidency.

Another checkmark on Stephen’s list.

“GOP: Changes to Cracker Barrel interior: over my dead body, leave things as they are Changes to the White House, a National Historic Monument: this is awesome”

Longest government shutdown in US history - 35 days (Dec ‘18 - Jan ‘19) Second longest shutdown - 22 days+ (Oct 1st ‘25 - present day) Both shutdowns occurred under Trump. How Americans let this criminal lunatic keep failing upwards will vex historians for generations to come.

Pritzker on Fox: "He's challenging the integrity of the next election by sending troops into our cities. It isn't about fighting crime. He said he's going after the worst of the worst. That's not what they're doing. They are literally after black and brown people because of the color of their skin."

How long is Mike Johnson willing to keep the House in recess to cover up the Epstein gang‘s rape of children?

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.

I think we’re up to every other hour.

It’s okay - Mexico is going to pay for the ballroom.

Look closely. Release the files. Read the book.

Something…something…cake.

Another check on Stephen Miller’s to-do list.

He’s destroying… The Constitution Due Process Public Safety Free Speech/Press The Economy Small businesses Farms Jobs Healthcare Women’s access to safe healthcare ACA Subsidies Medicaid/Medicare SNAP/Food access programs for children/elderly Voting Rights Our military …And the actual White House

This isn’t a focus in the Discourse because the loudest voices with the biggest platforms are people who have never worried about their next meal. I’ve needed SNAP; I’ve used SNAP; I’ve lost it when it mattered. This is going to be a wave of mass starvation beyond living memory in this country.

Some will never make the leap…

House Speaker Mike Johnson's refusal to seat newly elected Democrat Adelita Grijalva is preventing a key vote on the release of the Epstein files. For the Republican Party, "the protection of pedophiles is above the protection of the children of this country," says colleague @ramirez.house.gov.

The Trump WH spent all weekend ripping Gavin Newsom for being concerned that this stunt by Hegseth and Vance could endanger people driving on one of the busiest highways in America. These idiots are going to get people killed.

There is no organization called “Antifa” but there are people who are antifa, which is a shortened version of the word anti-fascist. Similarly there is no organization called “Racist” but there are racist people. Surely this isn’t so difficult to understand.

TOMORROW is #NO_KINGS_DAY!!! Give me your Tired, your Poor, your Huddled Masses of Frogs, Unicorns, Pandas, T-Rexes, Mushrooms, Sharks, SpongeBobs & everyday Folks yearning to peacefully protest a clownishly incompetent buffoon of a Prez who, if there were any justice, would be in jail. 🤡 #BeThere

🤔🤔🤔

Goebbels Miller is the real shadow president.

This what the GOP has in-store for us after DJT.

Pentagon reporters have now turned in their badges – but plan to keep reporting. Reporters who declined to sign new set of Pentagon rules had to clear out of world’s largest military headquarters. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Scarrrry leftists!

C’mon Texas, don’t re-elect this loser, this partisan hack doesn’t care about you, you can do much, much better than this! 🗳️Vote All Republicans Out!🗳️

Except for that one time

👏👏👏

My memory is quite the opposite. “No kings” has actually worked out really well for the American economy for centuries. It’s the arrival of a would-be king that has shut everything down.

“Swear her in! Swear her in!” #TrumpEpsteinCoverup

This is absolutely insane & immoral. Weapons of war on our streets, tear gas thrown & parents of baby in car seat scrambling away. I literally cannot believe this is happening. MILITARY with machine guns? With unarmed protestors? Unbearable Trumps America. No Nobel peace prize for him EVER.

woah …

Reps can't govern, Felon is a failure #TrumpShutdown Dems are not trying to fund healthcare for "Illegals". Reps are attacking Americans healthcare & lying to protect their own $3.4 TRILLION tax cuts for wealthy

Biden wasn’t president yet. These folks aren’t too bright

🎃

The difference between Democrats surrendering in March and fighting back now is us. We must encourage Democrats to keep holding the line to protect healthcare for millions of Americans and stop health insurance costs from doubling this winter: indivisible.org/campaign/sto...
