Food stamps are set to run out of funding in early November & I’m just here to remind you that if you catch someone stealing food at the grocery store then you should immediately call the ghostbusters because you clearly saw a ghost and they clearly vanished into thin air and you didn’t see nothin.

"Donald Trump is a straight-up punk": Chicago Federation of Labor President Bob Reiter says Trump "built his entire fortune on the backs of immigrant workers."

Will a single reporter EVER ask Trump why he lied about not touching the East Wing? Even one?

MAHA’s out here all smug with their lies about vaccines and sat fats while the same administration cuts nutrition benefits for children. Talk to me about removing food dyes when every kid in the U.S. has enough to eat. We are the richest country in dollars and the poorest in humanity.

Thank you, Chicago.

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight. Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.

🎯

While millions lose SNAP and health care, Trump’s busy building ballrooms no American needs. Our families, including military families, are struggling while he’s celebrating and demolishing the White House. #WADM #WePersist @katiephang.bsky.social

😂😂😂

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

BREAKING—40 million set to lose food aid next week after Trump USDA says it refuses use emergency funds for food stamps. www.axios.com/2025/10/24/g...

SOON …

Hey, just want to mumble that this is wildly illegal and inappropriate and would prompt impeachment proceedings if we still had a functional Congress instead of one run by a blind, deaf and mute Renfeld wannabe.

“Don has never communicated with anyone in the Administration on behalf of Unusual Machines or about the contract in question.” — company spokesman of Unusual Machines said —- after receiving Pentagon contract. Don Jr. owns 331,580 shares of the company. BUT HUNTER BIDEN !!

🚨Feed the Shutdown! Volunteer your time, money, or donate food to your local food bank or community based organizations. Taking care of our neighbors is essential. 💪🏼We Show Up!

This is what courage sounds like. Letitia James: “Stand tall. Never cow down or back down or break or bend. There is no fear today because I believe justice will rain down like water and righteousness like a mighty stream.” 👏🏽

Trump Trapped as Prosecutor He Needs Defies Him open.substack.com/pub/michaelp...

Dunkin Donuts bagged coffee (at the DD, not the grocery store) was $8.99 per 1 pound bag when I last bought it (early Sept.) Today's price...$13.55 Who should we thank for that?

They are taking a victory lap for inflation rising to the highest point since January.

The White House, is the people’s house. Any renovation should be done with respect for and the benefit of future generations, not to idolize one man. op: @jollygoodginger.bsky.social (via IG)

Fall on Friday. This morning at Chicago's Promontory Point.

Trump: “I don't think we're gonna ask for a declaration of war. I think we're just gonna kill people. Okay? We're gonna kill them. They're gonna be, like, dead.” What. The. Fuck?

INSANE INFLATION: Average ACA premiums will rise ⬆️ 30% next year. The higher premiums, along with the likely expiration of subsidies, mean millions of people will see their health insurance payments double or even triple in 2026. Gift 🎁 link 🔗 wapo.st/477rixd

There always a fucking tweet. This doozy back from June 2020. Would really love it if someone in our fed govt would go rogue and arrest him based on his own EO. ***still dreaming of seeing him in a jail cell… 🧵…

dear US friends, when a sitting president (re)builds the seat of government, it almost always means the president has no intention of leaving at the end of term. your African friends with decades of experience

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean. 6 people dead this time. Not a single arrest made. Not an ounce recovered. Not a shred of evidence provided.

This stone is actually at the FDR Memorial. Even so, I hope the next lawfully elected president, should we ever have another, pursuant to and in accordance with a statute duly enacted by a functioning Congress, should we ever have another, will have it permanently displayed in the Oval Office.

I have one slight disagreement with this post. There is at least one story bigger than that of a president instigating a plot to end U.S. democracy. And that is the story that a president is instigating his *second* plot to end U.S. democracy.

Exactly what all DC Dems should be doing

Pro Tip: Canada is not your enemy but the greasy, drug addicted money-laundering bald mfker who made his own daughter give him lap dances and just spent the week tearing down something that didn’t belong to him is, also he knows nothing about economics. Tariffs will wreck USA.

“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.” —Donald Trump, August 2024

This is about to get bad. D.C. Republicans are on paid vacation while millions in their own districts are about to lose SNAP benefits. They’ll find out soon enough—families with hungry kids don’t stay silent. #FeedTheShutdown

Yep, it’s the food stamps.

Rob Schneider is sooo friggin dumb

Color me shocked. They’re ALL such goddamn hypocrites.

Since the House is in recess why don't Democrats interview Jack Smith on their own, in public and televise it on MSNBC with Rachel Maddow as moderator?

Just in time for the holidays.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment. Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it. He’s asking to testify publicly, so you know he’s got receipts. Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it." Go Jack!

I hope voters make them pay for all of Trump’s corruption, incompetence, lies and malfeasance. It is only made possible by the acquiescence and cowardice of Republicans in Congress, so they are the ones who should be held accountable for all of it in the short term.

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.” - former First Lady Betty Ford The East Wing is gone. Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble. All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Democrats should be holding press conferences where the East Wing used to be.

Wait till MAGA realizes SNAP and food stamps are the same thing. Their heads are going to explode like when they found out the ACA and Obamacare are the same.

JD Vance's next wife may (or may not) actually *be* Erika Kirk, but we all damn well know she'll look and act just like her.
