”Fika fever dream” 🤣🤣
☕️🍪🧁
Wes O'Donnell Ukrainian ace Vadym "Karaya" Voroshylov told Insider there's only one jet he'd sell his soul for: Sweden's JAS 39 Gripen. EH • Built specifically to fight Russia, the Gripen can launch from cratered runways, refuel with the engine still running, let the pilot take a leak behind a pine tree, and be back in the air in minutes. It's fast and cheap to fly. Russia doesn't really have anything similar in its museum-grade fleet. Karaya calls it "the ideal option for Ukraine." Hard to argue. The Gripen was designed for exactly this war, almost as if the Swedes saw the future of war in a Fika fever dream and sketched out the Gripen.

You'd think there'd be a tilt/weight calc first, so ballast?

Governor Shapiro sued the Trump Administration and won. Now, Donald Trump is forced to release SNAP funding. Let’s go.

Shapiro: I just heard from a woman who spoke at the press conference where I announced the disaster declaration. She’s got 30 bucks left on her SNAP card to get her through the holidays here in November…

The Hunger Games Begin

40 million Americans are about to lose food stamps

It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.

The WORKING poor would not need food stamps if they were paid a livable wage.

Most people on SNAP have jobs. They work. They are not paid enough to make a living.

Kremlin Explodes: Kadyrov Turns on Putin

@jjsmart.bsky.social

Russia's power structure is collapsing into open warfare between its own enforcers. Ramzan Kadyrov’s public feud with a top general proves the Kremlin can no longer referee its competing factions

Trump and Republicans just passed a tax cut that will gift $100B annually to the richest 1%.

$100B could fund SNAP for a year.

It's not a matter of what this country can or can't afford. It's about priorities.

People are starting to understand this.

Brooke Rollins: "I guess the silver lining in all of this is that we're having a national conversation on our SNAP program. This has shined a light on a program that especially under the last administration has just become so bloated."
