FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

A sampling of texts from my overseas friends during Trump’s UN speech.

“OMG”

“Do you guys not hear the words coming out of his mouth? How can anyone not know he is deeply unwell?”

“LOL. What a sad mess”

“A proper nutter”

“I’m embarrassed for you. Hang in there”

Not a legal expert, but the legal "argument" for this being okay would be so bad, even law students would be embarrassed to turn it in as an assignment.
I would love to see a detailed legal analysis on how this is possible. Are they being deputized as civilians?

Okay California

Fuck that map up.

Other Dem states

Let's fucking go!!
The numbers are in. The new maps republicans just passed in Texas reduce Hispanic Texans to one-third of a white person and Black Texans to one-fifth of a white person.

And then there's the ones who stayed home, voted third party, or just wouldn't vote for Harris because insert blank.

We warned you. Project 2025 warned you. Hell the pedophile in charge warned you.
They’re whitewashing our history in books and museums

…recruiting Nazis into ICE.

…deploying the military into our cities.

…shielding the pedophiles and predators in their ranks.

…stealing your data, social security & Medicaid.

Because some of you couldn’t handle pronouns.

I don't want to hear the right complaining about books grooming their kids ever again.

Not when they voted and are standing by this.

It’s more than a cover up. Trump is making a deal with a predator. America needs to make clear she is as bad as Epstein and he is making a deal with her to protect himself. He must have a lot to hide!

No matter the way you look at it, rather it's at the local level or all the way to the White House, this is a GOP fuck up.

A win! In a rare show of unity, the Senate voted 99–1 overnight to remove a controversial provision that would have blocked states from passing and enforcing their own artificial intelligence laws for the next decade.

The most underrated beautiful animated story.
"You die?

"Well, yes, someday."

"I die?"

"I don't know. You're made of metal, but you have feelings, & you think about things, & that means you have a soul. And souls don't die."

The GOP in power doesn't care about their own voters.

They aren't poor like their voters are.
It's wild that Republicans are going full speed ahead with massive health care cuts when there is no political demand for it, even from their own voters
Do Republicans Realize Whose Health Care They’re Cutting?
Their big beautiful bill is polling terribly, yet somehow Senate leaders may have just made it worse.
