Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

This (among so many other things) is not the behavior of someone who will ever leave the white house.
(WSJ) Once again, Trump is limiting press access to his administration. Following the restrictive policy at the Pentagon, this policy prevents the media from entering the area where senior White House communications staff are located, just part of the autocracy.

Stop calling this Socialism. In socialism the working people control the power- of government and economic infrastructure.

This - is- oligarchy, theft, graft, and corruption - Trump uses taxpayer money to prop up a business and in return gets money that only he will use.

All this guy does is fly around with his girlfriend on private jets, cover up the Epstein files, and take credit for the investigative work of field agents. And he even regularly fucks that up.

"Bovino wants the community he is embedded in to see him not as a law enforcement officer but as an occupying military commander. He has not tried to establish a working relationship with the city; he has tried to dominate it."

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.
Job estimates seem inflated.
To avoid nuisances from generators you need excessive amounts of land or sound baffles during run times. Effects on electrical use, water, and land use need to be transparent to the community. Worst case scenarios like Memphis are what people worry about.

The Trump regime has murdered at least 59 civilians in the Caribbean. At least one survivor has washed up on the coast of Mexico where the Mexican navy rescued him. The presidents of Colombia and Mexico have spoken out against the Trump led murders. Both countries are US allies.

The average American family has ~$6000 of their taxes go to corporate subsidies and ~$100 of their taxes go to SNAP for 42 million hungry Americans.

Remember—we don't lack money to serve our neighbors in need, we lack the money needed to satisfy billionaire greed.

A lot has happened this year but I feel like we should always remind people that this happened followed by him deciding to starve the poorest children in the world simply because he wanted to.

We probably shouldn’t forget about this

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

People had a shit fit about political violence after Charlie Kirk was assassinated.

Political violence is starving children to run interference for a child rapist who is the President of the United States of America.
