There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there.

The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

At first I was disappointed with her. Now I’m just appalled.

A tweet from Samantha reads, “harry potter tattoos have a significantly higher regret rate than any gender affirming surgeries.” Below it is an image of J.K.

There are no plans for the ballroom

Here's why the new White House ballroom project is not real. (The demo is obviously real.) Some background - I am a licensed Architect with 20+ years of experience. I have worked on multiple Federal projects with sensitive building programs that required background checks.

1. With a projected size of 90,000sf and a newly revised budget of $300M, the cost per square foot would be $3,333. No building costs anywhere near that. $1,000/sf is astronomical.

2. Let's assume, since we are drawing in the classical, style, that the proportions of the building adhere to the Golden Ratio. A 90,000sf would be a building with a footprint roughly 380' x 235'. Longer than a football field and 1.5x as wide.

2. The building is projected to accommodate 999 people. 15sf/person is required for a banquet area; 20sf/person is pretty comfortable. What you see in the rendering below is closer to 20sf/person. That's only 20,000sf, or a space that is 200'x100'. It's supposed to be a ballroom, so let's be extraordinarily generous and provide 10,000sf for the ballroom support functions, and another 10,000sf for pre-function. Extraordinarily generous. That's STILL only 40,000sf, not even half of the supposed building.

3. There are no drawings for the building. The renderings are poorly coordinated - exterior views do not match the interior views. See below - the White House is 70 feet tall, to the roof. The interior renderings show a room that is roughly 100' x 200', with a ~20 foot ceiling. The exterior renderings show a building footprint of 4.5x that amount.

Those are renderings that could be produced by young staff in a week or two, at most. Nothing else exists.

How about healthcare without profits! Get rid of the Insurance Companies, Providers, and open the doors. Healthcare is a human right.
Universal HC.
Imagine how much the insurance companies are going to rake in.
They cherry-pick who gets treatment/care and who doesn't. No one should ever be denied.

Wolff knows how to play this game because he doesn't fall that far from the Trump tree. But the courts are, for the moment, there for everyone. And activists and elected officials shld be doing lots of this stuff. And not just on speech grounds but tying the TW/Skydance deal up in courts

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

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.

Treasonous scumbag Ron Johnson has blocked a Democratic bill that would’ve paid federal employees during the fascist republican govt shut down.

Not surprised since he’s the same asshole who took a trip to Moscow in 2018 on July 4th weekend to meet with Putin. Enemy of the state.
