Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Republicans learned long ago that their agenda—showering tax benefits on the wealthy and breaking the government—only requires 51 votes most of the time. Democratic governance— building, fixing, regulating, preserving, and improving—requires 60 nearly always.

If I were not American, I'd stay the hell out of here at the moment.

Friends in Florida had trouble selling their condo because the snow bird Canadians who would flock to Florida in the winter are going other places - because of Trump.

If you're too stupid to know that Merrick Garland had no power to "rig" the 2020 election when you were in power the first time, you're too stupid to sit in the White House the second time.

Folks keep asking me who I’ll vote for in 2028. The answer is whichever democrat wins the primaries. Hope that clears it up.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

NEW: The Kavanaugh stop, 50 days later. "What a sick world."

I asked Justice Brett Kavanaugh about his September 8 concurrence and the reality that has followed. Because he should be asked. He, unsurprisingly, did not respond.

Today, at Law Dork:
The Kavanaugh stop, 50 days later
"What a sick world." And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

This is the same stark raving mad lunatic who mused about injecting household disinfectant into Americans to treat COVID-19. Let Trump's latest Truth Social post serve as your daily reminder that the psychologically damaged dipshit is insane. 😳👇

Because no lawyer in the world could possibly get their hands on video evidence proving that ICE started it, and therefore now owes that person millions of dollars in damages.

(Millions of taxpayer dollars, I might add.)

How many of these cases will be lost by ICE during the next year?

I just want every person to consider this in its distilled form.

The President of the United States is unilaterally levying a tax on every citizen because he didn't like a commercial.
President Trump said that he is raising tariffs on Canadian imports, citing a TV ad in the U.S. that features President Reagan criticizing tariffs. https://wapo.st/431CadI

The problem of course is that women will vote for misogynists, but men won’t vote for women.

Honestly the full-body disgust and horror I felt the first time I saw a post from that man, went to block who I had assumed was a random racist asshole of no consequence, and saw he was a former Gorsuch clerk and Grassley's Chief Counsel for nominations and now advises Trump on judicial nominations
May I present a former clerk to Justice Gorsuch.

A few weeks ago, a 13 year old was abducted by ICE and he is still not home. The trauma caused to this child is unfathomable.

I wrote this piece in lieu of filing a child abuse report. Because where do I file it when the perpetrator is the federal government? open.substack.com/pub/ruthzaka...
A 13 year old and ICE
Weeks ago I wrote about 13 and 17 year old sisters who went missing in the world after ICE abducted their mother from a Worcester, Massachusetts street, leaving them parentless and in state care.

Trump's idea of what would make America perfect is the exact opposite of everything the ideal of America stands for.
America is a shared story of the quest toward the more perfect union

What an idea: America is always in motion, lost if perfection is attained but thriving in pursuit. Constant reforging makes America ageless, immortal

But Trump does not want to be more perfect

I wonder how much food the cost of those aircraft would buy? Also wonder how many of their family members receive SNAP?
