Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

If @schumer.senate.gov cannot endorse or vote for the Democratic candidate in his city and the state he represents, he has no business leading the Democratic Party. I will happily vote for his primary challenger and I will not be alone. Goodbye to out of touch and step panderers to Netanyahu.

Why is Debra Messing so afraid of a Muslim Mayor of NYC. Is her Zionism so fragile that she can’t even exist in a city with people who aren’t Jewish?

Not sure how many Cheney obits will mention this murderous legacy of his.

Post-9/11 wars have contributed to some 4.5 million deaths, report suggests

Researchers attempt to calculate the number of deaths attributable to the war on terrorism, across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Are they just using this to normalize control of our movements ? 🤔

Cheney was as great a threat and his efforts towards Absolute Power are what led us exactly where we are. He just wanted to be the King not tRump.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Trump agreed to partially fund SNAP benefits for November, in compliance with two federal judges’ orders last week. But they will only provide half of the usual monthly payments—and it could take multiple months to be paid out.

He'll expect to be praised for this.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.
