Unf*ckingbelievable.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

That's because Trump wants these people to suffer so he can tell them that the Democrats are to blame. Disgraceful, but right on brand for him.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

You bet that's insane! And the same drug companies sell their wares for much less money in other countries, including Canada. That's because drug industry lobbyist have gotten to American politicians. Just plain wrong!

No, I totally got it. 110%! 😀

It has to be a major Trump donor in order to call off ice.

Yes, let them eat cake... while I sh*t on a solid gold toilet!

And it's about who has all of the power. The answer is, increasingly, the super rich, who can now buy politicians like never before. Musk paid $270 million to own Trump and fire government workers he didn't like.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

No, he's not uninformed. He knows exactly what's going on. He just lies so he doesn't have to answer the reporters question. That's his standard operating procedure.

Barry @bsrabin.bsky.social · 4d

Mike Johnson is a shameless liar and is so full of shit! His standard line is, I didn't see that, I didn't hear that, I don't know any of the details of that, etc. Apparently the lying with a straight face is a job requirement to work for Trump, which he does.

I watch ABC World News Tonight. They just give the facts, tell a happy story at the end, and say good night and stay tuned for Jeopardy! 😀

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob boss’s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

Gallego: "How can I negotiate? The president is in Asia for 5 days. Johnson is basically keeping the House out until January to protect pedophiles. So who am I negotiating with right now?"

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

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.

Thank you Marc! Glad I joined.

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

Barry @bsrabin.bsky.social · 8d

How is that even legal???

Barry @bsrabin.bsky.social · 8d

I am for that! I'm even willing to contribute money for the demolition.

Barry @bsrabin.bsky.social · 8d

News outlets like CNN have been pathetically wimpy at calling out Trump administration's lies. Isn't your job to risk offending politicians??

Barry @bsrabin.bsky.social · 8d

Absolutely! But that's the way Trump rolls. Just imagine if President Obama had called in a wrecking crew and started demolishing a whole wing of the White House. Would the screaming from Fox News be "manufactured outrage?" Doubtful.

Barry @bsrabin.bsky.social · 9d

What a crock of shit! Plus watch how they are bringing bogus charges of assaulting a federal officer against anyone who as much as wiggles while they are slamming them to the ground and throwing them into vans. That allows him to claim that these people assaulted police. Total bullshit.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.
