New accounts: a DM is an immediate block. Do not DM.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Only weak people insist that brutal force is always the answer.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

Mine is a Catholic church and this mission is written into our teaching.

Annette @akgthatsme.bsky.social · 3d

My church has an outreach that serves the hungry every single day in two locations. $1M in donations??? I’m sorry, how is it that they have that much to begin with. I’m glad they’re doing it but I’m baffled! We run in the red!

You will know them by their fruits;
Mike Johnson is a wolf.

Marty Taylor @realmartyt7.bsky.social · 4d

Mike Johnson salivating at 41 million people going hungry. He has worked towards ending SNAP and the Affordable Care Act his entire career. Poor working people going hungry is exactly what Johnson wants. The more pain he inflicts on people the better. He is truly a monster in human form. #ProudBlue

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”

Oh Chris and all, I’m sorry to hear about Mo, he was such a delight! Thinking of all of you and the animals in your loss.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:
