Look, here's the reason the whole "Trump blew Bubba" has me incandescent with rage:
Forever and a day homophobes have insisted that gay men are pedophiles and groomers, as vile a canard as was ever coined. Are some gay men pedophiles?

The next time someone tells you that America isn’t a sick & racist country, just remind them that this nation is willing to accept treason, rape, and child abuse from a white president but not healthcare from a Black one.

Didn't know it, not remotely surprised. Grifters grift together.
Helpful to keep in mind that lying sack of shit Karoline Leavitt ran for Congress in 2022, and lost.
After a lawsuit against her campaign, she was forced to admit that she hid about $326,000 in undisclosed debt. Roughly 200k came from illegal contributions.
She's dirty AF, just like her boss.

Same.
On this Veterans Day, I'm reflecting on the fact that our Commander-in-Chief is a lying draft dodger who kicked out 5,000 trans service members who, unlike him, were serving ably and honorably, after hiring a white supremacist, alcoholic TV chatterbox to run our military.

Last night, the Senate advanced a measure to end the government shutdown, which at 41 days today is the longest in U.S.

Fifty years ago today the S.S. Edmund Fitzgerald was lost with all 29 hands 17 miles from Whitefish Bay. Gordon Lightfoot's magnificent song, released the following August, was nearly as inescapable as the wreck itself:

Just a reminder:
Today the Supreme Court is going to hear oral arguments on same sex marriage. If they rule on it (not guaranteed but likely) it won't be until next year. It won't be today.
And, no, I have no faith in the MAGA majority.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 94th day out of the last 106.
12 days of work in 106 days.
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.

Don't forget. Withholding funding for SNAP is on Trump and Trump alone.
Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

So what does a Democratic Socialist believe?
Republicans love to say its Communism. But like everything else its another lie.
Facts:
Democratic socialism is a political and economic philosophy that advocates for a democratically run and socially owned economy alongside a democratic political system.

Paul Krugman parses the election results. His analysis of where we are now vs. where we were a year ago is completely spot on. Give it a read:

SNAP benefits will be gone, small businesses will suffer, insurance premiums will double, air traffic will be delayed/halted: All of these things are happening because when the gov't shutdown ends, the Epstein Files get released.

Stop blaming people on SNAP for needing assistance. Put the blame where it belongs: corporate greed.
FACTS about SNAP:
-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)
