Cigarettes used to be cheap enough that you could give a whole pack out to each trick or treater instead of just one or two loosies. Failed fucking empire

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.

If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.

Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

When they come for people for resisting ICE, it all gets very simple very quickly. Either we're all on the same side, or you're a dickhead.

I enjoyed this even more than I did a few decades ago.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Here's a gift link to the New York Times' coverage of the initial Tea Party rallies in April 2009 which inspired the media to treat it like a massive movement.

Check out how tiny the crowds were:

Philly: 200
DC: "several hundred"
Boston: 500
Austin: 1,000
Houston: 2,000

Zohran Mamdani makes videos educating people about a trans activist and Donald Trump posts an AI video of himself shitting diarrhea all over American citizens.

The news media is trying to stop the former and help the latter.

When the Big Macs finally do their job and Trump keels over dead, and mainstream media respectfully mourns him, remember Trump's video where he literally shits on Americans and then continue to party your asses off. It's going to be so fucking great.

OK, so our "Secretary of War" currently has two big priorities: (1) murdering innocent fishermen in the Caribbean, and (2) endangering the lives of commuters in Southern California.

Perhaps, we are seeing one of the downsides to having a drunk TV talk show chatterbox running our military.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

The “No Kings” protests weren’t just filled with powerful signs — they had some unforgettable costumes, too. A standout moment: Donald Trump, JD Vance, Kristi Noem, and Stephen Miller portrayed as convicts in shackles.

This is a blatant attempt to silence and isolate us. He’s stopping the trains, closing the freeways and firing live rounds into California. We will not be intimidated. We will not be silenced. #NoKings

I'm having trouble coming up with my sign for No Kings on Saturday. Everything seems like too much or not enough. Suggestions welcome.
