The amount of information I got today has me so very tired

A new report largely blames "disruptive technology” and cuts to government spending for a high number of job losses this year.

Ngl I had been stressing over this meeting at work (I always do) and now that it’s passed and they said my work was good, I’m feeling much better about life 🫠 Lemme go home and write sumn

Time to get through the midterms and launch his campaign for 2028

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system. Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Oklahoma really has one of the most backwards political systems in the country

Stephen Miller is running our gov't and he is a Nazi psychopath. We are not in good hands. 👿

Am I a better journalist than her? Yes. Would I also be very bad at running CBS News? Yes. Because like Bari I have zero experience running an operation of that size, or TV of any kind, and I am similarly stupid.

Absolutely everyone on SNAP could be abusing it and I would still believe that it should be an option for people. Food should be free, frankly. There’s enough for no one to go hungry

"Of all the Dem govs, Pritzker understands the assignment best," says @davekarpf.bsky.social, because he's communicating that "his citizens are being attacked by Trump’s forces" in a way that'll get "the rest of the country to tune in." Dave is so good here. Listen: newrepublic.com/article/2024...

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

I’d suspect that campaign financing is now a form of money laundering and that matters more to turn than people starving

Please understand that people will not be "going without SNAP/EBT/food stamps" - people will be going without FOOD. Actually and literally.

Private equity gave $10M to Trump's inauguration. He gave them greater access to Americans' 401(k)s. DuPont and Dow Chemical gave $750K. Trump exempted them from an air pollution rule. Intuit gave $1M. Trump killed the IRS Direct File Program. Everything is for sale.

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?”

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

The reason 42 million Americans are on SNAP is because employers aren’t paying living wages.

Jim Himes: "Where does this stop? Do we now start executing drug dealers on the corner of Brooklyn? Where does it stop if all of a sudden the government, without, telling anybody anything, can take this kind of lethal action just because they've decided they've got the right to."

Speaker Johnson needs to stop being on vacation, admit that Americans need healthcare assistance, strike the draconian health cuts from the ugly budget bill, and get back to work so he can swear in Arizona's newly elected Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva.

Host: 2,300 gallons of milk. 29,000 pounds of turkey breast. 270,000 eggs. These are all orders cancelled by Donald Trump.

Rep. Torres: Trump's shutdown of SNAP is a catastrophe for America. SNAP provides food to 42 million Americans. Donald Trump is effectively holding 42 million Americans hostage. He's treating hunger and food insecurity as leverage in his sick political game of extortion.

Destroying an entire news organization and targeting people of color and women in a day is astounding

"...a male correspondent was initially included on the layoff list but was removed after he appealed directly to the new editor-in-chief, Bari Weiss, leading to another female correspondent being added to the list at the last minute."

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.

Let’s bring this back. ROLL CALL!! Reskeet if you’re in the 🏳️‍🌈 fam w/ #AddBlackGaySky

Finally broke my addiction to twitter so I’m back ☺️

The reason people constantly suggest that Dems "adopt moderate social positions" (which... end up not being "moderate" at all) is because they think that Dems won't lose votes by moving to the right. They are wrong in thinking this.

I’m tired of playing with it myself 🙄

I want to go to three different cities pride events this summer and none of them are aligning with my other plans 😂😭

I was really considering UofM for my MPP, but this being one of the regents really tells me to keep searching.

A rap battle is two men writing poems about each other
