The Republicans' shutdown message is abundantly clear:
Let us jack up millions of people's health care costs or we'll starve the poor.
I wish that was an exaggeration. It's not.

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.

And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.

But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.

I realize it’s extremely serious when a federal judge does this. Problem is, Noehm and Bondi don’t give a flying f#ck. This is happening in a zone so far outside of law, reason, or humanity.

We’re not “close to” that day, we’re past it. Just as —to quote the enraging pablum of many media outlets—we’re not “headed for” a constitutional crisis. We’ve long been in one.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:

TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

The Constitution does NOT forbid serving a 3rd term. It forbids being ELECTED to a 3rd term. And the GOP is rabid about finding and getting SCOTUS backing for loopholes.

Tell that to SCOTUS, Senator.

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Correct. Normalizing the absence of Congress. They captured the judicial branch with money—but judges/justices are appointed, not elected. This is how they eliminate the legislative branch. No more checks on executive power. Dictatorship.

They’re not bringing the House back. It’s not “just” a party standoff or health insurance battle or illegal killings. They’re normalizing our living every day without a Congress.They had to buy the judicial branch as they’re appointed, not elected. This is how they eliminate the legislative branch.

Yes it’s disgustingly performative. I’d love to see this breakdown stat promoted on TikTok and other amplifiers.

The US hit an all-time high $38 trillion in national debt, thanks to Donald trump.

This marks a +$500 Billion jump in October, or +$23 billion per day, again, thanks to Donald Trump.

Donald Trump is bad for the economy, business, and your pocket. Support MAGA, lose money.

It’s been his dream—and prediction—right from the start:
“I could shoot someone in the middle of Fifth Avenue and not lose a single supporter.”
Except Fifth Ave is the ocean, and ‘someone’ is 34 people so far.
Sure, he’s deeply ill. But he knew no one would hold him to account. And he was right.
