Why is Debra Messing so afraid of a Muslim Mayor of NYC. Is her Zionism so fragile that she can’t even exist in a city with people who aren’t Jewish?

Not sure how many Cheney obits will mention this murderous legacy of his.

Post-9/11 wars have contributed to some 4.5 million deaths, report suggests

Researchers attempt to calculate the number of deaths attributable to the war on terrorism, across Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.

Cheney was as great a threat and his efforts towards Absolute Power are what led us exactly where we are. He just wanted to be the King not tRump.

Dick Cheney did more than anyone else to build up expansive and destructive executive branch powers in the wake of 9/11; he lived to see another president turn those same powers against his own daughter.

He should be a warning sign to the GOP today but too many of them are in the cult.

Trump agreed to partially fund SNAP benefits for November, in compliance with two federal judges’ orders last week. But they will only provide half of the usual monthly payments—and it could take multiple months to be paid out.

He'll expect to be praised for this.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Okay, so let’s have these Blue States take back their Tax money and Red states, like Johnson’s Louisiana, can be responsible for paying for the social programs for their state residents.

All this “Anxiety” by millionaires, billionaires and the business community in NYC over a 2% tax increase is so effing pathetic. And to prove how pathetic they are they have to throw out rampant racism and religious bigotry while weaponizing Anti-Semitism.

The people on the right getting mad at Tucker Carlson for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes on his podcast don’t seem to have gotten mad at all at Donald Trump for hosting Holocaust denier Nick Fuentes at his home for dinner. Funny that.

Over five decades, Congress has repeatedly weakened the transformative law governing education for disabled students, leaving it in a precarious and dysfunctional state when Donald Trump took office.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
