Mississippians who rely on SNAP to afford food are still waiting to receive full November benefits more than a week after the government shutdown ended due to technical issues with 40-year-old computer systems.
There’s no guarantee full payments will arrive by Thanksgiving or even before December.

After 4 days in ICE custody, they found the man in a shower stall hog-tied, with a sheet around his neck.
The medical examiner claimed there were other instances of this.
Which means this is not an isolated case.

Stay classy, Donald.
Trump's Truth Social account just posted this AI video of him flying a fighter jet that reads "King Trump."
AI Trump is wearing a crown while he dumps shit on protesters. He's such a pathetic little man.

James Comey handed the 2016 election to Donald Trump by announcing a sham investigation against his opponent, causing people to forget the "Access Hollywood" tape & doubt Clinton's honesty.
Today, Trump thanked Comey by corruptly indicting him. To Donald, loyalty & gratitude are one-way streets.

We all know ‘tragedy’ comes from Greek.
‘tragos’ = goat
‘aeidein’ = to sing
So ‘tragedy’ originally meant “goat song.”
Not to be confused with the GOAT song, which is probably “Fast Car” by Tracy Chapman.

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Imagine your family member about to be disappeared and someone yelling at you about some files and that your family member’s disappearance is a “distraction”.
Why do they have to be mutually exclusive? Smart messaging is: YES this is a MASSIVE distraction and shows how desperate he is to keep the Epstein files suppressed. YES these are MASSIVE violations of rights that on their own would be impeachment worthy. The fact they are linked? COMBINE THEM.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all:
“If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.”
Israel just killed him.
