If you see any business owners belittling SNAP recipients for accepting government money to get through tough times, maybe look them up on @propublica.org's PPP Loan Tracker to see if they got any of the $793B in bailout money (96% of which was forgiven)

Wait, did they edit an interview? Did they not air every second?

I heard that’s grounds for a multimillion lawsuit

Marc Elias @marcelias.bsky.social · 16h

I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

In terrible news for Republicans, only 41% of Americans approve of Trump’s handling of the presidency versus 59% who disapprove, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll. Among independents, only 30% approve, with a whopping 69% disapproving of Trump’s performance.

Voters broadly disapprove of Trump but remain divided on midterms, poll finds

Most Americans disapprove the president’s handling of top issues, and a majority say he has gone too far in exercising his powers.

No one asked me, so make that 69% plus 1. Also, I'd like to have a chat with the 30%.

".. Toward the end of the interview, Trump responds .. telling Norah O'Donnell, '.. I'd rather not have you ask the question.'

".. That exchange was included in the full transcript but was omitted from the extended video on YouTube."

🚨BALLROOM CORRUPTION ALERT🚨

Palantir has received more than $800 million in government contracts in 2025, which is more than any previous year.

The company's donation to Trump's ballroom was a corrupt "thank you" to a corrupt Trump administration.

End Citizens United @endcitizensunited.bsky.social · 5d

Trump's destroyed the East Wing of the White House to create a $300 million golden ballroom funded by bribes that he'll use to keep fishing for more bribes from corporations and billionaires.

I saw a Cuomo ad last night that was basically "if there's another 9/11, we need a mayor with experience like Andrew Cuomo," and it made me wonder, wait, what was Andrew Cuomo doing on 9/11?

Well, he was probably preoccupied with damage control for this:

PROBE RIPS ANDY IN $130M HUD MESS
By Deborah Orin
Published Sep. 10, 2001, 4:00 a.m. ET

WASHINGTON – Federal watchdogs today will testify that Andrew Cuomo’s “lax oversight” let crooks loot a housing program for the poor that will now cost taxpayers $130 million to bail out.

At issue is Cuomo’s role as Bill Clinton’s secretary of Housing and Urban Development and his pet home-ownership program for the poor, which collapsed in scandal.

Today’s bipartisan congressional hearing was called by Rep. Sue Kelly (R-Westchester), with Reps. Charles Rangel (D-Harlem) – who backs Cuomo’s gubernatorial rival Carl McCall – and Felix Grucci (R-L.I.) also expected.

“Decisions made during [Cuomo’s] tenure opened up this program to widespread fraud and abuse while the concerns of federal investigators were ignored,” Kelly said.

The program was supposed to help poor people fix up housing. But instead, it left tenants stuck in 719 homes – including almost 200 Harlem brownstones – that are mostly a mess, in foreclosure and, in some cases, without heat.
