Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

This is so so disturbing. Trump is now pardoning January 6th rioters for unrelated crimes, just to reward them for their violence to keep him in power.
The Republican Party is in the full time business of endorsing and incentivizing political violence. So scary.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far.

The Dem-controlled house passed a bill to make them permanent several times before 2021, and a permanent version was included in the original Build Back Better bill.
Manchin said he’d only agree to a 3-year extension so they had to cut it to that to get his vote.

The SCOTUS administrative stay is a terrible thing for 42 million Americans who are uncertain if they'll have food in November.
But make sure to blame the *real* villain: Convicted Felon Donald Trump. It was his decision to appeal in the first place.
Trump could just fully fund the SNAP benefits.
