"House Republicans have just created a precedent that allows Congress to compel former presidents to testify under threat of contempt, which can result in charges that may lead to jail." Someone's not thrilled.

Do you remember the SNAP challenge, to eat for a week on USDA thrifty food plan? It's back in a different form, and way more challenging, also thought provoking.
"Three days on the three-dollar meal plan had helped me realize something important: The diet had taken not only a physical toll, but a mental one." @jaredpoland.bsky.social did it so you don't have to:
No Joy in Cooking
Secretary of agriculture Brooke Rollins recently suggested Americans can get the nutrition they need on $3 meals. Here’s what happened when I tried to follow her plan.

HUGE TEXAS UNION WIN: @iamunion.bsky.social leader Taylor Rehmet was just elected to the Texas Senate! This win kicks off a wave of union candidates across the state.

In retrospect, perhaps pardoning the thugs from January 6th, arming them, giving them badges and setting them loose on the American citizens, was a very bad idea.

Pay attention to what he does, not what he says.
I'm calling bullshit on the media narrative that Trump is "pivoting" and "deescalating" on his ICE raids. The threshold is this: As long as the military occupations and the treatment of US cities as enemy territory continue, there's no pivot. ICE out. 1/

This is who Alex Pretti was.
The sadness is beyond overwhelming.
17 days from Renee Good being murdered, another incredible light was needlessly taken.
Because the party in power wants the voter roles.

Our reminder thar ICE is not only misbehaving in Minnesota.
As of Thursday, ICE-Gestapo was holding over 73,000 people in their concentration camps, a record amount in their disgraceful 23 year history.
They aren’t a law enforcement agency, they are a militarized terrorist organization that should have been disbanded long ago.
