We’re the only country that lets the gun lobby write the laws and then pretends to be shocked when children end up in coffins.

NEW UPDATE:

The San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office has announced that four of the victims shot in the Stockton mass shooting were ages 8, 9, 14, and 21.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.
The Boston Globe identified the companies in Massachusetts that employ the most SNAP recipients. A key stat: "In Massachusetts, 74% of working-age recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program are employed, half of them full-time."

This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively.

There goes a major talking point:

“.. The new tally leaves tariff savings failing to fully offset Trump’s signature tax-cut law, which the CBO said would add $3.4 trillion to deficits ..”

I never thought I would endorse militias.
US veterans who wouldn’t follow illegal orders should 100% form militias, it’s their right.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

So yesterday Trump said Marge Greene was a traitor to America and he wants Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files. After calling Greene a great patriot and threatening Republicans who supported releasing the files just last month. But yeah, he’s totally sane and fine.

For 250 years, the United States Marines have had America’s back in the air, on land, and at sea, and never lost their nerve.

Thank you, NH Marine Corps League – Semper Fi.

Grift all the way down
After a bipartisan backlash, Republican senators are distancing themselves from a provision tucked inside the CR/minibus allowing 8 of them to sue for $500K in taxpayer-funded payments for each "instance" where their data was accessed in the Jan. 6 probe. www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...
GOP senators distance themselves from provision allowing them to sue over phone record searches
The senators’ comments came after House Speaker Mike Johnson said he would hold a vote on the House floor to repeal the provision inserted by his Senate counterparts.

Something that’s so striking in these emails is how…unimpressive Epstein is. He comes off as a pompous, sub-literate lech. Yes everyone is so mortifyingly solicitous of him! All fawning and flattery! Why?????

The Republican president is a pedophile who has doubled my healthcare costs and let scores of violent criminals out of jail. But a Democratic mayor-elect wants to make busses free in a city I don't live in. I have never felt more politically homeless.

President Trump’s lawless tax giveaways are costing America big-time.

Why is he giving billions to corporations while families are forced to choose — put food on the table or fill a kid’s prescription? Keep the heat on or save for Thanksgiving turkey?

This rank corruption knows no bounds.
