Agreed but it’s alarming that GenX and boomers were the ones who voted the most when early voting started this past weekend. That’s a good sign for Cuomo.😬

Arms control and disarmament is a national security imperative. That’s why I’m supporting legislation from Rep. Jim McGovern and Rep. Jill Tokuda to end the nuclear arms race and all its attendant dangers.

“For the first time ever, SNAP benefits will not be available to the millions of low-income individuals who depend on them to put food on the table,” said California Attorney General Rob Bonta.

Trump “doesn’t care about the people of this country, only himself,” said Governor Gavin Newsom.

“Under President Trump, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) is needlessly suspending November SNAP benefits, causing 5.5 million Californians to lose critical access to $1.1 billion in food assistance.” www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/28/g...

Republicans are willing to starve poor children to protect rich men who raped children.

It's just another form of child abuse.

Dem Rep. Jasmine Crockett said Trump’s “never been known to be an Einstein … This is someone who, but for him being born with a silver spoon, probably wouldn’t have gotten into” college.

“What is his IQ?” Crockett asked. “He doesn’t even know what an IQ is.”

New in PN: The triumph of bullshit

"We’re a long way from 'covfefe' and tumescent hurricanes Sharpied on a weather map. This is an era of lies as policy, where government priorities are based on right-wing conspiracy theories and fear-mongering."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Back in 2017, I joined 15 colleagues in resigning from the President’s Committee on the Arts & Humanities. We warned that attacks on culture would escalate. Today, those warnings are reality: museums closed, history rewritten.

Trump’s Campaign to Defund the Arts—and Rewrite History

"The campaign to defund the arts, capture our museums, and rewrite our history is a prelude to silencing dissent."

That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.

G. Willow Wilson @gwillow.me · 8d

On Threads, the usual suspects are telling ppl about to lose SNAP benefits to just start a garden. As a gardener, I had to laugh. You need at LEAST an acre of land to feed a family of 4. Start-up costs are enormous. But yes, subsistence farming on the balcony of your rental apartment is the answer

Illinois has now achieved its 10th credit rating upgrade since I took office.

It reflects our continued growth in financial standing and speaks volumes to our state's commitment to fiscal discipline.

With each upgrade, it means saving Illinoisans millions of dollars.
