BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

Donald Trump is trying to normalize authoritarianism. We cannot let that happen. We cannot take the bait that normalizes things that are fundamentally wrong.

After a failed nesting season and the disappearance of the permanent resident pair for at least 6 weeks, this Bald Eagle returned about a month ago and is now bringing sticks back to shore up the existing nest site. Still looking for the mate but full of hope ❤️ #birds 🪶 Rensselaer County NY

We wrote that Trump's destruction of the East Wing was to build a palace for him to be a king.

Legacy media wrote that Trump’s pursuit is justified.

Trump's FCC just scrapped a Biden-era cap on the maximum price of prison phone calls between inmates and their families.

Telecom and private prison companies — which donated to Trump's campaign — lobbied for the rollback.

This regime's cruelty and corruption knows no bounds.

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own.

Pathetic.

I'm not saying we should be concerned. But we should probably start preparing for whatever is to come.

We know what the Wagner Group is, and what they do.

Leaked document. Yikes, things are about to get much worse. It looks like we’re on the verge of becoming a military state across the country. Step out of line, and the man come and take you away.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

WE FOUND THE WASTE, FRAUD, AND ABUSE:

FBI Director Kash Patel used a $60 million government jet for a booty call during the shutdown.

Not the first time. In April, he made multiple trips to Nashville to see his 26-year-old country-singer girlfriend and even flew her around to hockey games.

When Repubs throw a lot of money at something, you know they're up to no good. They're trying to skew the election for Pennsylvania Supreme Court Justices so they can put far-right judges on the bench. Don't let them.

* Christine Donohue
* David Wecht

Take a listen to Congresswoman Becca Balint. She is incredibly frustrated and you can see the pain in her eyes. I honestly thought no American President would let people go hungry but, we are not dealing with normal times. This is pure evil.
