ICE is still being paid. Congress is still being paid. Private jets are still being bought. The White House is still being renovated. In the most prosperous country in the history of the world... This.👇

While Trump’s lawyers file an emergency petition with the Supreme Court tonight to do everything they possibly can to avoid paying SNAP benefits to the needy so they can starve, Trump flies to his country club for another weekend of parties and golf.

It seems like so many people on the right should be aligned with so many people on the left over the doomsday existential threat of AI and robotics in the hands of a handful of greedy oligarchs. But they have succeeded in pitting us against each other with culture war drivel.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107. 12 days of work in 107 days. 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.

I’m just saying, but if I had just gotten completely shellacked on Tuesday, I wouldn’t be asking SCOTUS to let me starve millions of people 3 days later.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Nailed it.

Crockett: When you go and you hit those booths come the midterms, think about which party decided that it was okay to literally be on vacation while people were going hungry in the streets of America.

Trump arrives in FL for another weekend of parties and golf while his attorneys fight in the Supreme Court to deny food to SNAP beneficiaries despite a court order.

Judge Immergut rules against the administration in the Portland Nat’l Guard case, granting a permanent injunction even after giving Trump’s decision “great deference.”

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

We could fund over four months of SNAP benefits with the $40 billion Argentina received.

New in PN: Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts "Nearly every time he appears before cameras to sell the GOP’s lies, he manages to unintentionally tell the truth. These admissions have advertised the fact the regime is intent on using the shutdown to torment vulnerable Americans."

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Trump's tariffs are driving up the cost of everything, especially groceries. But the President doesn't have a clue, maybe because he's too busy throwing obscene Gatsby-themed parties while he denies millions of families SNAP benefits.

Border Patrol Chief Gregory Bovino—the architect of Trump’s brutal immigration raids in Chicago—was hauled into federal court Tuesday as protesters roared “LOCK HIM UP!” Thank you America!

For your enjoyment; an under trained ICE agent face plants while chasing undocumented immigrant! #Pinks #ProudBlue #StrongerTogether #FuckICE #ICE youtu.be/JYU3tWMm4I8?...

Black Friday was never about deals. It was about control. Black Friday made them billions. Let’s make this year cost them. 💥 Mass Blackout. Nov 25–Dec 2 💥

Stories like this are playing out across America. Sociologists and Communication scholars will be studying the online radicalization of the right for decades.

I’ve been clear from the very beginning: Trump’s attempt to deploy the military against American citizens is unlawful. We are pleased by the Ninth Circuit’s decision to reconsider Oregon’s case. As in our case, the President must answer for his abuse of power.

Jimmy Kimmel mocks a geriatric Donald Trump as he wanders around aimlessly with the Prime Minister of Japan 🤣

Anyone heard from the nimrods who said Trump should get a Nobel prize for the ceasefire in Gaza?

Reporters must stop accepting this. Options: -Laughing at him. Long and hard (combine with others) -"It's your job to be informed" -"How can Americans take you seriously when you always claim ignorance?" -"I've never heard a speaker claim ignorance so often" -"Nancy Pelosi knew what was happening"

Mockler: I’m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system that’s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?

Every day, the criminal gangster in the WH shatters norms and practices and ignores the Constitution and laws, while Republicans in Congress join him as co-conspirators. Did any Republican senators speak up about this? Hell no. Cowards all. Vote every one out that you can.

This.

Pete Hegseth just murdered more people and we have to take his word for it that they deserved it.

“In a time of deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act.” —George Orwell

Do they typically award Nobel Peace prizes to someone who murders people every day by blowing up their boats while claiming they deserved it for transporting drugs, but doesn’t give them due process, a fair trial, or present any evidence or proof of guilt to anyone?

This is an incredible LIE being told by the guy that manages the agency that oversees the ACA. It's obscene how easily, how frequently and how dramatically these Trump folks lie to us. ✅Fact check from the extremely reliable @kff.org (& no, KFF did not retract this.)

Tomorrow would be a great day for Mike Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva so we can find out whether some of these donations from oligarchs and nepo babies to Trump were made because they are in the Epstein files which Trump and House Republicans are hiding from the people.

MAGA MIKE, Trump's L'll Johnson! #TheEpsteinBallroom #FDT #ReleaseTrumpEpsteinFiles

The squeaker of the house.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Perfect!!

Yeah, they couldn't care less about your struggles, they don't care if SNAPS goes away, your Healthcare premiums doubling or you lose your farm.. They tapped into an unlimited "CASHCOW" "OUR TAX MONEY"

Here’s your America First Here’s your Make America Great Again WIC and SNAP funding will end. This isn’t a “problem”..this is going to be a FAMINE. Let that sink in.
