This is exactly what I have been trying to tell people who think they are flexing when punching down on those receiving SNAP benefits. Grocery stores, especially in low to middle income areas, will struggle, farmers will suffer, schools will suffer. Children and seniors will suffer. The economy too

I can't understate just how courageous Jack Smith is and has been. The letter his legal team wrote yesterday is amazing work. But it also underscores the TRUE FUCKING PERIL that truth tellers are facing!
Courage in real time ♥️

Why is Ginny Thomas not under arrest?
Why has Mike Flynn not been recalled and faced court-martial?
Why is Trump not under arrest?
Why does Louis DeJoy still have DeJob?
Why are SCOTUS members that committed perjury, not facing impeachment?

Dylan Blaha rejects that logic entirely. He said Democrats who take such advice “aren’t bad people, but they’re getting bad guidance from consultants who say, ‘Don’t talk about trans rights; it’s not a winning issue.’ That’s disgusting to me. You don’t win by abandoning your values.”

The military taught me that silence and inaction carry consequences,” he said. “When governments stop valuing human life, it starts small, and that’s why you stand up early.”

Candid allyship
Blaha describes himself as a “fighter ally,” committed to centering queer and trans inclusion in his campaign. He told The Advocate that his team includes trans and nonbinary volunteers, and he said they are developing research-driven “white papers” that would guide legislation to strengthen federal nondiscrimination protections and prevent anti-LGBTQ+ laws from resurfacing. “We’re grounding everything in data and expertise,” he said. “No human should be left behind.”

Like those candidates, Blaha argues that equality and affordability are interconnected. “You can’t separate equality from affordability,” he said. “The trans woman sleeping in her car because she got fired deserves housing just as much as the single mom who can’t afford rent. These fights are part of the same struggle.”

President Trump said late Thursday that he was terminating trade negotiations with Canada, expressing anger over an ad that featured former President Ronald Reagan criticizing the effects of tariffs in 1987. Follow live.

lmao $15k to shut up after she already talked??? what

Amid fallout from Platner’s controversial years-old social media posts, his campaign began sending non-disclosure agreements to staffers last week, according to his former top political director, Genevieve McDonald, who said she declined to sign one.

“The campaign offered me $15,000 to sign a NDA,” McDonald told POLITICO in an interview. “I did not accept the offer. I certainly could have used the money. I quit my job to work on Platner’s campaign, believing it was something different than it is.”

The consequences of the state budget are starting to make themselves known. Every few days it's another "Hey, we didn't know they were going to cut US" story.

Probably should have gotten out in front of this, Ds. "Bipartisan" does not win you points, it means you go down with the ship.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Trump’s "America First" was all a lie. Instead, he rolled out the red carpet for Putin in Alaska, is bailing out Argentina, and is using his power to attack Americans who stand up to him, like Jack Smith and Adam Schiff.

The GOP has completely failed our country.

Such a coincidence that they tear down the East Wing at the same time that Mike Johnson is keeping Congress out of session, avoiding any accountability for this or for Epstein.

Let’s be clear: if he can bulldoze the White House without permission, he’s not a tenant — he’s the owner. He’s a king.

This is such a great callout…

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

If not, you’re at the wrong church.
