Why do so many different calamities and controversies follow Nancy Mace around every week for years? She must just have bad luck with so many people victimizing her in so many different ways. Somehow most members of Congress are able to navigate years without any personal issues.

They’re only funding SNAP at 50 percent, not because they care but because a court forced them.

Half benefits mean empty fridges for families who already have nothing to spare.

They’ve got trillions for billionaires and pennies for people.

Call your lawmakers. Vote tomorrow, November 4.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

‘I don't know who he is’: Trump struggles to defend one of his most scandalous pardons

The president said that he pardoned Changpeng Zhao despite not knowing who he is. If he’s lying, that’s a problem. If he wasn’t, it’s worse.

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People

“What Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

Y’all acting like you’ve never seen a 79 year-old drug addict who spent decades assaulting under age girls, throw some half-naked chics in a martini glass at his Palm Beach resort while he steals SNAP benefits from 42 million folks and sends soldiers into American cities before?

Sorry to see racists in black face thinking they can mock with impunity again. This is never okay.

A tweet from gav (@itsgavv) reads: “we’re witnessing levels of racism not seen since 1962.” It quotes a tweet from Brittany Venti, who posted two photos of herself wearing blackface makeup while holding fried chicken, captioned “When that EBT hit.”
