Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.

Read about WHY Ketanji Brown Jackson stayed the SNAP order. Her move is probably the best solution for getting SNAP benefits approved quickly. open.substack.com/pub/stevevla...

I will never get tired of seeing someone I respect interact with something I’ve done here.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.” The result was “institutionalized hunger.” @kristencrowell.bsky.social www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

Fox goes with real-world math over WH gaslight.

Last year. This year. @cnbc.com

🚨Damn. Dallas, Texas is paving the way; showing us all that decency is of greater value than money. Bravo Dallas!!! 1/2

“He’s having a seizure and they’re trying to rip the baby out of her hands”

Oh my god, I had not seen the walk of fame. How utterly embarrassing.

Well, that certainly cleared that up.

Look, it's not even in the top thousand offenses of this administration, but I can't get over how fucking tacky and gaudy the Oval Office has become under this clown. I'm surprised he hasn't thrown up some LIVE LAUGH LOVE pictures to complete the look of "strip mall Italian restaurant"

⚠️⚠️⚠️

Brother Warnock lays it plain.

Imagine how much more about Donald Trump's crimes we would know, and how our politics would have unfolded differently, if everyone of significance had been either interviewed by the FBI or put before a federal grand jury in the spring of 2021, while memories were still fresh.

The GOVERNMENT is supposed to take care of the PEOPLE. The MONEY in the government is OUR money. Corporations are the ONLY abusers of “welfare”. We have been MANIPULATED beyond belief in this country. We DESERVE to THRIVE. Not barely survive..

We’re flying today and this is just a gentle reminder to thank the TSA they’re working without pay and it’s a tough job

#SNAP @kyledcheney.bsky.social

Dr Oz talking about obesity, diabetes and dementia while Trump is slumped over like a man minutes from death is supremely funny content

Trashing air traffic control To protect a child rapist Starving Americans To protect a child rapist Self-immolating Congress To protect a child rapist Crashing healthcare To protect a child rapist It’s not more complex, moral, or dignified. Call them: 202-224-3121 #RemoveTrump #GOPShutdowm

I had a run in with ICE snatching a man out of his car while walking my children to school this morning in NW DC I asked a neighbor to continue walking my kids to school and I turned back to document and confront the ICE agents. I am in contact with @dcmigrantmutualaid.org with the full video.

Who could have seen this coming?

#Voters #MadeTheirPoint Love this cartoon 🌊🌊💙

This image is gonna meme so hard, folks. Hall of Fame meme-ing with this one.

For 340 million Americans (2024 estimate) to lose 135 BILLION pounds of weight, each man, woman, and child would have to lose *397* pounds. Fucking ridiculous lies.

NEW: Judge Ellis will be issuing a preliminary injunction against federal agents in Chicago - a more permanent version of her earlier temporary restraining order.

Seems that Donald's "irrefutable fact" was refutable after all . . .

This. This was everything that night.

Apparently the internet has figured out that the new Oval Office signage and gilding is at base a literal meme template

This is going to be a shitshow, so we need to remind each other to be patient and kind. TSA has been working without pay. 📌 The FAA announced major restrictions that experts say could lead to thousands of flights being canceled as the government shutdown drags into day 37.

@aoc.bsky.social says of Mamdani victory: "A lot of people...are willing to talk about party unity when it serves them, but not party unity when it serves everybody." "We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind."

This line didn’t make it into many Trump speeches. 🤡

Trump responds to a three-time Trump voter who is upset that prices haven't gone down: “I think of groceries. It's an old-fashioned word, but it's a beautiful word. Beef, we have to get down, but we've got prices way down.”

LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

“They came into the building understanding it was a daycare. They did not have a warrant. It is a violation of our rights. It is a violation of these children’s rights. They are terrorizing our community.” Trump’s ICE goons raided a damn daycare.

You may not agree, but I think it’s time for Dems from coast to coast to run on Medicare for all. We do NOT need health insurance companies at all. Period. They serve no valuable societal purpose other than to add cost to healthcare and drive people crazy.

I don’t know how many times I’ve watched this video. I don’t know how we’ve gotten to the point where men in full balaclavas can abduct daycare teachers while they’re watching children. But I do know that this isn’t sustainable. Abolish ICE. There is no way to reform this.

I want to be clear Gavin Newsom didn’t push Prop 50 on us, he gave us a choice, unlike the good people of Texas who lost their representation without a choice. We chose 50. It’s over country and we’re not going to let fascism win without one hell of a fight.

Nothing says “man of the people” like adding gold trim and a shiny sign outside the Oval Office. Somewhere, Marie Antoinette is whispering, “tone it down.”

The “Home Goods” White House: @governor.ca.gov

I can’t believe they called prop 50 the moment polls closed. That tells you something. Most of these races were called within 45 minutes. It’s a BLOWOUT, y’all. THAT is what we call a MANDATE.

They taped papers with gold lettering outside the goddamn Oval Office, and they didn't even bother to trim them to fit on the wall.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year. Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase. This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

I knew it would take less than a day for a tiktok dj to make something.

May Dick Cheney's death and Zohran Mamdani's election serve as a metaphor for the political calculus in this country.

Hey @marcelias.bsky.social and @muellershewrote.com, has anyone ever sued a VP, Speaker of the House, and presidential Cabinet collectively for failure to uphold their Constitutional oaths of office? Those people HAVE to know Mr. Potty Pants is losing his mind and deserves the 25th Amendment.
