-Oct 18, more than 7 million Americans stand up and stand together.
-Nov 4, millions of Dems turn out for landslide wins in VA, NJ, NY, CA, GA, many other places.
-Nov 9, eight "Dems" say "Oh, this nice Mike Johnson and Mr. Trump say they care about health. If they don't, well shame on them..."

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.
Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.
The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.
Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

Hey man I think the President being at the Great Gatsby Halloween Party hosted at his golf course resort the night before SNAP runs out is a bit too on the nose, go do another pass at this scene
Per Danny Kemp via press pool
Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL
“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”

The administration has literally done recently exactly what it claims it can't do atm.
May the lies and obfuscation catch up to them soon.

A Boston federal judge suggested she was not persuaded by the Trump administration's argument that it is legally barred from using a USDA emergency fund to keep the SNAP benefits coming.

Reality doesn't care whether you believe in it or not. If you chose not to protect yourself and your family and those around you from deadly diseases, you'll discover why they're called deadly.
The tragedy is that this level of willful ignorance affects everyone. 😑

I was just saying recently that The Guardian was reporting an average of 20 Palestinians being killed a day during the "ceasefire."
Not much of a ceasefire.
Also: were 20 Israelis being killed a day, the media universe would be on fire about it.

(CNN) Well, as sadly predicted, the Israel-Gaza War is back on with Israel launching strikes against Gaza. If only we had an Administration that knew what it was doing with its 20-step program to end the war. We're still in the FIRST STEP. Nice Job, Trump.

It's such a perversion that Trump is using elements of federal power designed to prevent the historic and ongoing voter suppression of minorities to instead further supress voters.
Gavin Newsom: “What’s happening in LA is a preview of things to come. This is all teeing up 2026. Donald Trump does not believe in fair and free elections. He’s trying to rig the 2026 election in plain and open sight.”

Amazon announced it was laying off 30,000 today due to "pandemic overhiring."
This strikes me as BS as the pandemic was over ages ago. More likely, Amazon is suffering from tariffs and a declining broader economy but won't say that outloud for fear of making the whiny 2-year-old PotUS upset.

There was an article recently (I believe in The Guardian) which postulated that many Americans have been safe from disease and instability for so long they've lost track of what gave them that (science and the international order set up by the US after WW II). Which is why they no longer value it.
Never before has the world’s reigning superpower intentionally dismantled a system designed to sustain its own leadership, particularly while those trappings were returning enormous benefits, write Rebecca Lissner and Mira Rapp-Hooper.

No president can declare tariffs unilaterally. Period. Trump is only forging ahead like this because MAGA Congress isn't doing their jobs.
A president imposing tariffs (on us) because he’s annoyed (by a real ad not fake) is not how the law works.

Trump's claim he has a mandate is a lie.
There were 267 million voting age adults in 2024. Trump got 77 million votes.
Therefore:
Less than 50% of voters chose him, and his votes represent 29% of voting age adults.
His "mandate" is less than 1 in 3, similar to what Hitler had in the 1930s.
