Comcast, Delta, T-Mobile, Uber, Verizon, and other companies endorsed the major Trump-GOP bill that enacted the largest SNAP cuts in history. Shortly, of course, SNAP benefits are set to pause due to the government shutdown.

Holy shit this is hilarious
🀦🏼 ICYMI β€” turns out Rupert Murdoch’s @thetimes was so eager to put out a hit piece on @ZohranKMamdani that they talked to the wrong Bill DeBlasio 🀑

Please tell me they’re only $10
First of all, how do they know?
They counting ever person in every single bar across the country? Secondly, that’s a quarter of THE ENTIRE country. Seems like a lot to me.
I thought it was β€œyo, pervert!”
Check it out Canada!!!
Ahem.

We give you Gander. The app. On a phone.

Not public yet… but it’s real, in our hands, and soon in beta.

The timing is a bit nuts… given we just opened investment to all Canadians (at frontfundr.com/gandersocial) but we’re over the moon.

Amazing what can get done with community.
This is fucking gross as hell

"In the U.S., 30 to 40 percent of the food supply is never eaten, wasting the resources used to produce it & creating many environmental impacts. Food waste is the single most common material landfilled and incinerated in the U.S."

In the Land of Plenty, scarcity must be enforced by police.

Notable that the people carrying Trumpism don't act like they believe they're carrying out the will of the public, they act like dictators terrified of a spontaneous uprising so swift and massive it overwhelms their protective services before assistance can arrive.
I’ve been to listening to the Seth Myers and Lonely Island podcast and it’s clear to me that Seth is 100% one of the good ones

My 8yo told me she had a dream that she went "taco treating," which is where you go door to door and people give you tacos
Canadians need to wake up and see what’s happening, especially our leaders and media.

Weird because I could have sworn the NYT told us we shouldn't worry about these viruses and should just get back to brunch
A number of viral infections, including flu, Covid-19 and shingles, are linked to an increased risk of heart disease and stroke, a new study affirmed.
Covid and Flu Can Triple Your Risk of Heart Attack
A new analysis adds to the research about the link between viral infections and heart disease.

Progressives really hope, and maybe even believe, that there is some magic thing they can hijack to attract conservative voters.

The focus on this mythical quest is the central reason they lose.
I found this piece sad too, but mostly because it is part of a years-long effort by progressives to understand what "really" animates Trump voters.

We already know! It is racism, misogyny and misinformation. I know that sounds condescending or whatever but it's simply what all evidence suggests.

We've gotten so many of these pieces where a liberal engages in a good-faith effort to understand Trump voters. Every time, they discover that there's no deeper sympathetic reason they hold their views. They're just misinformed and hateful. My own efforts have found this too.
Why do the lazy assholes that use them get the payout? Those of us who refused should be the ones getting it
