Dear MAGA,
You don't know me, but you're killing me. Without subsidized housing, I'm homeless. Without Medicaid, I can't move to a nursing home. Without Medicare, I can't get the meds I need. Without SNAP, I don't have food to eat. I'm disabled with no other support. I'm someone. @maddow.msnbc.com

Does it make DJT feel like a big man to make "the least of these" suffer? I heard someone call the former East Wing, "The Marie Antoinette Ballroom." While his crowd has a "Great Gatsby" Halloween party, some of us need to figure out how to eat with half of the already insufficient SNAP benefits.

@nicollewallace.bsky.social Thank you so much for airing Rosie O's interview. I've missed seeing her. If I could, I would run away from here, too. Those I told about P2025 didn't believe me - we couldn't stay friends. I'm 66, saw him on the rags when I was a kid, & he turned my stomach then, too.

Where is the money going that Donald Trump is extorting from universities and law firms? Is it going toward bringing down the national debt?

There is a CSN&Y song with a lyric, "Teach your children well their parents' hell and know they love you."
With the whitewashing of history under 47, we need to teach the kids the truth. I have 4 biracial nieces who each have a young son. It breaks my heart that they may have to grow up with this

Why is Trump obsessed with coloring everything gold? Using the color doesn't make the room/ furniture/fire-surround worth more. I was watching his meeting with El Salvador's president, and all I could think was, "Why?" To me, it looks cheap. #All_That_Glitters_is_NOT_Gold

I think DJT looks at being President as a game. He makes the moves he wants to make, then adjusts to the reaction he sees. If he took it seriously, he would spend less time golfing and at least some time learning about the Constitution.
THIS ISN'T A GAME TO THE REST OF US!

Walz: It's like trump is stuck in the 80s. His music, his clothing, his thinking. I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country that Donald Trump understands anything about business. He's bankrupted every single one he's been into, and now he's bankrupting this country

Guess what isn’t going to lower costs for Americans struggling with heating and cooling bills.
Entire staff responsible for utility assistance included in HHS cuts, sources say
Those who work closely with the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program now fear for its future.

Why is Pro-Life pro life only until the baby is born? Once the child is born, many need WIC, SNAP, and Medicaid. Then the Pro-Life people want to take what they need away from them. The children of poor people need Headstart, free lunch, and maybe IEPs. Make sure they are born, then throw them away.

My article is out in Foreign Affairs: “The Perils of ‘Russia First’”
For 30 years, U.S. leaders have appeased Moscow—at the cost of our values, our credibility, and our security. Trump isn’t breaking with that tradition. He’s doubling-down. @foreignaffairs.com

Appeasing Moscow didn’t work in the past, and it won’t work for Trump.

What we need is something I sincerely believe will never: we need the wealthy and corporate entities to tell Co-presidents Trump and Musk that enough is enough! Maybe we need to protest outside greedy corporations. I live in a rural community that doesn't even have a Town Hall, but I can post.

If you don't like the new price hikes at #DollarTree , blame the new tariffs. Reminder: the importer pays the tariff, not the exporter! If they stop the tariffs, do you think Dollar Tree will reduce the prices? Probably not.
