"Another CBS insider noted that there have been some subtle shifts ... including an increasing frequency of people blaming “both sides” while discussing stories during CBS’ morning editorial calls."

We saw evidence of this right here on @facethenation.bsky.social:

Bill Cassidy, this is your legacy.
A vaccine schedule should be published by Jan 1, and Vaccines for Children – which provides vaccines to 52% of children in the US – depends on it, @kevinault.bsky.social said.

“All the vaccines for children and to some extent adults are at risk if that job does not get done in the next 2.5 months."

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.

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style.

Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

Black Friday celebrates America's religion of capitalism.

Companies like Amazon make a killing on the sales.

You want to fight back against the broligarchy?

Boycott.

Make a statement.

The color green still trumps the color white in America.

Only thing these companies respect.

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital.

"I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!"

The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.

Dear @barackobama.bsky.social, please consider doing this for the sheer entertainment value.
Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)
Q: One theory on how you might try to serve a 3rd term is that you could run at the vice president

TRUMP: Yeah, I'd be allowed to do that. But I would rule that out because it's too cute.

Trump could ensure people don’t go hungry, he’s just choosing not to.

Just like Speaker Johnson could bring House Republicans back to work to lower healthcare costs, he's just choosing not to.

The American people don’t have the luxury to choose.

The US Department of Agriculture says it will not tap into its $6 billion contingency fund to cover food stamp benefits next month, according to an agency memo obtained by CNN. That means that roughly...

Democrats should run a TV ad in Mike Johnson's district, thanking his constituents for taking the hit on the SNAP shutdown and other government services they use all so Mike could keep the Epstein Files from coming out?

To my new political party, my fellow Dems: Quit fucking complaining, quit making excuses, quit playing by some polite old rule book. My former political party is ruthlessly playing to win. They don’t give a damn about “norms.” So Dems, fuck the norms. It’s time to fight. It’s time to fucking fight.
While Republicans continue their ruthless and unprecedented mid-decade radical gerrymander in multiple states to hang on to power, Democrats outside CA continue to wring their hands and dither, seeking excuses for inaction like Merrick Garland reading FBI reports about J6.

starving over 40 million people right before major holidays + massively upping healthcare costs does strike me as a rather bold move this early in the authoritarian consolidation game for any given fascist regime, but I guess we’ll see what happens

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

CNN editor-in-chief Mark Thompson, following a While House meeting, sought to soften the news network's coverage of President Trump's demolition of the East Wing, claiming viewers aren't that interested in the story, according to the Status newsletter.

I am a SNAP recipient. I also rely on MediCal and SSDI. According to their respective websites, all three of these things may be gone by the end of the year....
5.5 million people in California receive Calfresh, (SNAP) benefits. That includes all ages. The income level to qualify is very low so these ppl don't have alternative for food.

Trump & Co choose not to allow SNAP to be funded so 🚫 $ will go out for Nov

It's all states

If you can, offer to help

“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.”

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.

Once again, the main day of Tea Party protests had about 300,000 nationwide, but saw endless coverage.

The No Kings protests had about 7,000,000 nationwide, and many media outlets reacted with a yawn.

No Kings was nearly 25x as big as the Tea Party but the Tea Party got 25x the attention.
Ask yourself this: How would the New York Times have covered the protests if it had been seven million MAGA supporters flooding the streets? We don’t even have to guess: We know how they and other mainstream outlets covered the Tea Party protests during Obama’s first term.

Maine is the oldest state in the union. Seniors use mail-in voting.
If this ballot measure passes in 9 days in Maine, it will upend the rules of elections in that state in the future — starting, you know it, with next year’s Senate race.

It was pushed by a conservative organization that is aiming to shift the state to a GOP majority.

State Supreme Court elections are *super* important for the rest of our democracy. Don't sleep on them.
If Dems win the Supreme Court races in Pennsylvania in 9 days, it’s extremely likely the GOP can’t get a majority on that court until 2029.

The GOP really wants to have this majority during the 2028 presidential race.

Can’t put the stakes any more clearly than that. boltsmag.org/pennsylvania...

The families being starved out should storm the White House with their supporters, turn the squatter who's living there upside down, and take all the money that falls from his pockets.
There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there.

The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.
