I am 65 years old, disabled, with little money to cover expenses. I depend on #SNAP benefits for food, one of our most basic human needs. I have received notice that November payments are on hold because of the government shutdown. Meanwhile Congress vacations. Thanks, @JDVance!

President Trump, "I'm bringing prices down 600%, 700%, 900%, 200%"

- Is everyone there just laughing on the inside when he speaks?

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Just a minor clarification of the venerable @rbreich.bsky.social:

The Marine Corps didn’t DECIDE. The administration, led by Donald fucking Trump (the Commander-in-Chief) decided!

This wasn’t a stunt orchestrated against the protest at a command level - it was Trump/Vance treachery & intimidation.

Why did the Marine Corps decide to fire live artillery shells across California’s major interstate freeway on Saturday?

A conspiracy theory I have is that people put hot sauces like Tabasco on everything not so much for the pepper as they do for the benefits of adding vinegar to a dish and that’s what they should be focusing on and recognizing. This conspiracy theory has not gotten traction due to “lack of interest”

Another day, another attempted massacre in a country where it's easier to get an assault rifle than a passport.

Billy Joe Cagle arrived at the airport with an AR-15 and 27 rounds of ammunition. He "had the intention to inflict harm to as many people as he could."

This is actually a very reasonable compromise position, given that Trump COULD have demanded eleventy trillion dollars.
