NEW: @propublica.org investigated the Chicago apartment raid where kids were zip-tied and citizens detained for hours. They find:

- NONE of the arrested were criminally charged
- NO evidence the building was "filled with TdA terrorists."
- ZERO legitimate reason for DHS to rappel from a Blackhawk.

Your elected officials, ladies and gentlemen, clapping while they take away your healthcare and food subsidies, so Elon Musk doesn't have to pay taxes on a trillion dollars.

From a colonial Virginia family, Blanche Joyner made some apple dumplings that won her a spot in the first #Pillsbury #Bake-off in 1949. We found them to be bland with a tough crust but... she won her regional competition with it. Here's her story.

#NewMexico taking care of its people. The third poorest state in the country having to dig around in the couch cushions to feed its people because we no longer have a functioning federal government. I'm glad to live in a place with heart.

Tonight’s Senate vote on the federal government shutdown should have been a time for strength.

Instead we saw capitulation and a betrayal of working Americans.

The American people need more from their leaders.

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

Senators on the brink of retirement who lived full, wealthy lives and never feared the loss of their own healthcare voting for their constituents to die from their inability to afford the same is treasonous

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.
Grocery prices have jumped up, and there's no relief in sight

There is literally NO reason to do this to people - we have a contingency fund and, unless the administration has stolen the money in the Great DOGE Government Hack, then they can feed the country.

The cruelty is the point.

Ask him why so many air traffic controllers are retiring at once. Ask him if it has anything to do with Reagan firing 11K union strikers in 1981 and having to replace them all at once. Ask him how the mass firings this year will impact us the same way 40 years from now. Ask him, Jake.

Socialism is what they called public power.

Socialism is what they called social security.

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

#NewMexico This is a list of all the establishments that are supplying free meals to children, seniors, and families while #SNAP benefits are being withheld by the administration. This may not be complete but it is certainly a long list.
