Oh, and welfare-queening has made a comeback. These folks clearly don’t know and/or don’t care how SNAP food assistance works or who benefits from it most. (Hint: it’s white people in red states).

ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.
I loved that about the old Twitter 😩

(4) Trump and the Republicans don't have an advantage over Democrats because they *better understand heartland Americans.*

They have an advantage over Democrats because they created their own universe of propaganda outlets, and then went out and bought all the mainstream outlets.

Duh.

🚨New reporting directly contradicts what Alex Acosta told our Committee in a deposition. We must get the truth & facts about Acosta's investigation into Jeffrey Epstein's financial crimes. Stop the White House cover-up.

Donald Trump is weaponizing the Department of Justice against his political opponents. This is just the latest example. Everyone who cares about democracy and the rule of law needs to speak out loudly and clearly that this is wrong. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

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.

Thinking about how Trump loved to say “You’re not even going to have a country,” and realizing that was a campaign promise that he’s keeping.

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

Fresh off of erasing the largest pro-democracy mobilization in American history the AGSulzberger @nytimes.com continues its institutional normalization of Pres. Trump.

Again, Don't. Print. Lies. In. The. Newspapers (or online).

Even if true, this is wildly illegal & violates all the laws. That is the headline. We're so far past stenography in October 2025. Whatever world in which this worked as a way to cover 🇺🇸 politics is gone, over, & totally done with now.
The White House said on Tuesday it will submit plans for President Donald Trump's $250 million White House ballroom project to a body that oversees federal building construction, even though demolition work began earlier this week reut.rs/4ndTcfL

"It's no longer Democrat vs. Republican or left vs. right.

It's now democracy vs. oligarchy.

Freedom vs. dictatorship.

Right vs. wrong.

But collectively, together, *we* still have more power."
The brutality. The corruption. The lies.

Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson.

Watch.

Can you imagine that this is an ICE recruitment poster?
It’s like “why sit around on your sofa w/your wife nagging you every two minutes when you can sit in comfort in a van big enough for friends? You’ll get a mask, a gun, & your very own “illegal” so you can feel superior & secure in your ride.”

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"
