Yesterday at the farmer’s market I saw a vendor quietly give food to someone whose EBT (SNAP) card didn’t have enough money on it. People helping people because the president and his administration refuse to. Even when court-ordered.

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... Yeah, Thanksgiving travel will be a nightmare, but it’s still better than letting people have affordable health care.

the reason republicans lost yesterday is because theyre a bunch of weird freaks pushing policy that everyone hates

www.cnbc.com/2025/10/23/g... Yeah, a lot of poor kids will go to bed hungry, but at least work is continuing on President Trump’s $300 million ballroom at what’s left of the White House.

I’m less concerned about part of the White House being torn down, and more concerned about the fact that it’s being replaced with a $250m privately funded ballroom. I don’t think people who intend to leave office in 3 years typically spend a quarter of a billon on a 4 year construction project.

People ask what they can do in this moment: here's a crucially important election. There are 52,000 elections taking place next month, many of which will be determined by turnout.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... The Trump Administration is planning to send one of the most elite Army units we have to use against a peaceful U.S. city?

Due to the shutdown, the Trump Administration has decided that the Bureau of Labor Statistics won’t be publishing the jobless claims report or the consumer price index (inflation). So investors are flying blind right now. However, work will continue on the new White House ballroom.

Awesome! In just a little over a year, we’ll get back to where we were in 1968 with Apollo 8! www-bbc-com.cdn.ampproject.org/v/s/www.bbc....

Have no fear, Republicans will bail you out at some point with a huge chunk of taxpayer money to pay you for not being able to sell your products because of their policies. Then you can post on social media that you’re voting for them because you are against socialism.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

www.cnn.com/2025/09/12/f... This week just keeps getting better!

Time to break out the chart

The real issue isn’t left vs right. It’s not white vs black. It’s not citizen vs immigrant. It’s not gay vs straight. The real issue is that a lot of powerful people have a vested interest — and a lot of money invested — in dividing us, and it’s working.

OMG, the WH is literally holding the South Korean detainees HOSTAGE. They delayed the charter flight while Marco Rubio met with South Korean Foreign Minister Cho Hyun to discuss ways to "strength their alliance and revitalize American manufacturing through South Korean investments." #AAPI

So if you are out on a boat Trump can just blow you up and kill you and everyone on board by saying you had drugs without presenting any proof? That’s how this works now?

This freakin’ story, man…. How a Top Secret SEAL Team 6 Mission Into North Korea Fell Apart www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/u...

That is quite a headline. @bloomberg.com www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

www.nbcnews.com/politics/con... With great respect, Rep. Nadler is 78 years old, and he’s not even close to the oldest Dem in the House. It’s time for these ancient members to retire and give younger people a turn.

She appears unaware or what her own government decided yesterday. Most of the country can NO LONGER get the vaccine. It isn’t about individual choice.

Hang onto this image of CDC's full list of underlying conditions tied to severe risk of COVID. If you're an adult aged 18-64, RFK Jr. is now making you show some proof of one of these underlying conditions in order to get a COVID vaccine.

Important. Clear, concise, imperative. Please watch.

It’s probably just a coincidence that Bolton’s home was raided on the day some of the Epstein files are due to finally be released to Congress. Is this that lawfare I keep hearing about?

www.motor1.com/news/769592/... The RAV4 is classified as a “compact SUV”. This couple evidently bought the vehicle w/o doing a test drive or didn’t bother to being along one of their child safety seats to see how it fit. They really should have been shopping for a much larger vehicle.

-Trump just bought $100 MILLION in bonds -When Interest Rates go down, bond prices go up -Trump has been pushing for interest rate cuts he would personally benefit from Unheard of levels of corruption and grift. Yet Republicans say nothing.

Experts are warning that more than 500,000 Ohioans are poised to lose insurance subsidies starting next year. In many cases, the increased costs they’ll face will be so big that more than 100,000 will lose their coverage, they warn. ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/08/18/h...

She gets this on top of Secret Service protection. Is she saying they arent up to the job? www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Don’t think we need “describe” here. It just kind of…is Also, let’s remember how those quarters came to be vacant.

This is appalling. Civilized countries look at us and are rightly horrified that this idiocy and cruelty is sanctioned by--encouraged by--our government. (I originally wrote "Other civilized countries look at us..." But do we any longer count in their ranks?) www.theguardian.com/world/2025/a...

www.politico.com/news/2025/08... With great respect for all she has accomplished during her 34 years in Congress, it’s clear that 88-year-old Eleanor Holmes Norton is no longer up to the job. Her friends & family need to intervene and persuade her to resign.

She's also the only child rapist in history to be moved to a minimum security camp with potential work release one week after meeting with the Deputy Attorney General.

A judge rebuked the DOJ for trying to unseal grand jury records in the Ghislaine Maxwell case. The judge said public would learn virtually nothing new from the documents and “would come away feeling disappointed and misled.”

Trump on January 6: Nancy Pelosi stopped me from sending the DC National Guard to protect the Capitol. Trump tomorrow: the President of the United States has complete control over the DC National Guard. Make it make sense.

Where are the hard-working Americans who screamed, “They’re stealing our jobs”? You’re getting your wish. Immigrant workers aren’t showing up, and farm owners are hiring.

www.theatlantic.com/science/arch... This article gets it all wrong. There is no compelling scientific or economic reason to return to the moon, much less build a nuclear reactor there. If you want to spend a couple hundred billion dollars, there are much better scientific projects available.

Remember when Vice President Harris bought a few quality cooking items at a French cookery store with her own money and legacy media melted down? J.D. Vance literally used the Army Corps of Engineers to manipulate a public waterway, so he’d have an easier time kayaking and it’s a blip on the radar.

www.floridatoday.com/story/tech/s... Key paragraph: “Turns out, NASA has been investing in this technology since 2000. According to the document, the space agency poured $200 million into studying the technology but had not come up with anything ready for use.”

do you think they’re enjoying the main course yet at the Epstein Strategy Dinner or still sort of milling around

If you live in/represent a Blue State, want to gerrymander the FUCK out of your state, support and are willing to fight for a national anti-gerrymandering law you are principled, consistent and doing exactly the right thing.
