I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Shooting by ICE officer in Los Angeles wounds motorist, U.S. marshal

Federal authorities said the driver had threatened officers with a vehicle while trying to flee an arrest.

Both the U.S. marshal and the immigrant were shot by federal officers. You’d never know that from this headline.

The White House is asking people not to share pictures of the East Wing because it’s even worse today.

I’m disgusted by the photos of Ttump’s demolition at the East Wing, but I’m even more sickened by the renderings of his mar-a-lago ballroom dwarfing our White House. Once we’re rid of this despicable man, that ballroom must also be removed.

This is yet another GOP ploy to avoid accountability from voters, who are rightly angry over rising costs and Medicaid cuts.

MAGA’s disastrous economic agenda will be a loser for the GOP in 2026. That’s why North Carolina is racing to pass new, gerrymandered maps.

Arizona 7th is not the only Democratic district in Congress that is not being represented due to GOP interference. Tx.18 Houston has been vacant since Sylvester Turner died in March. Gov Abbott refused to call a special election for months. Now Tx 18 will not be filled until March 2026. #ProudBlue

Imagine being this afraid of an inflatable frog.

I wonder who they will target next? My money is on the rainbow unicorn since we know how they feel about rainbows….

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

The first time the Confederate flag ever paraded through the US Capitol was on January 6, 2021.

The first time the White House was damaged in over 200 years since the US rebuilt in the 1820s after the British burned it in the war of 1812 was mid October, 2025.
