"Let me be clear: The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

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.

You know what evil looks like? The orange felon hosting a Great Gatsby themed gala at his trashy private club yesterday whilst trying to end SNAP benefits and healthcare subsidies from tens of millions of Americans. Giving a convicted criminal full power was a horrible idea.

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

As Fiserv CEO, Frank Bisignano overinflated sales projections before quickly cashing out with a $500M stock sale.

Now, Fiserv's market value has collapsed — and Trump has put Bisignano in charge of Social Security.

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.

Remove him from office.

1) The radio address was posted on YouTube 8 years ago, before AI was feasible.
2) Reagan: "Over the long run, such trade barriers hurt every American worker and consumer...millions of people lose their jobs."
3) BTW, George W. Bush called protectionism "evil."
4) Donald's brain is tapioca.
Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

Trump didn’t get the funding from oligarchs to destroy our WH because he was trying to save taxpayer money. He knew that Congress was not going to fund it, & even making the ask would have given the public advance notice and led to hearings. He wanted to do it like a King would.

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

The Constitution is not self-enforcing.

The only thing holding our Republic together are our norms.

And the only thing that enforces those norms is The People.

No one is coming to save us.

It's entirely up to us.

I will also say while I’m at it, that for every argument that you can make for the need to have new / younger / different reps, you can and should dissect how those arguments are ableist and ageist.

I’d rather hear how “X” elected is disconnected than trotting out their age like they’re disposable.

Michael S. Smith was the interior designer appointed by President Barack Obama. Mark D. Sikes was Biden's. Who is Trump's official interior designer? Americans would like a word.

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.
