Trump denies grocery prices are up and then says people will be fine because "their 401ks are up." (Nearly half of Americans have no retirement savings)

To be clear: there are good-faith, awesome DSA members, of which Mamdani is one. But there are way too many purist DSA people who view any deviation from their talking points as apostasy, earning their ultimate insult: "centrist".

Clearly! How do you read "threat" from this? I swear I will never understand DSA extremists.

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

There are gonna be a lot of angry, hungry MAGAs with their faces eaten off if the states drag it out.

Only red states will drag their feet. Their governors will be playing a dangerous game.

Yes, he was ordered... but he clearly has indicated he has no problem flouting court orders or delaying action in following them.

Trump caved on SNAP because his cult followers in red states were starting to scream at him. Anything less than complete adoration makes him nervous.

Partial is better than none, but it will not be enough to keep people from going hungry.

Yep. Always use Amazon as a gift finder, not as a store.

Sometimes I use Google shopping search, but their results aren't as good and they just point to Amazon most of the time, anyway.

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."

Here's Trump arriving at the Great Gatsby-themed party at Mar-a-Lago on Friday night, hours before a lapse in the nation’s largest program to feed the poor.

"Factchecking Trump on '60 Minutes'"

In today's 'First Draft' morning newsletter from Zeteo, I counted and debunked at least *17 obvious, brazen lies* that the president told CBS's Norah O'Donnell, and that she just let slide:

If she didn't know what kind of man he was when they got together, she's had ample chances to bounce.

Have fun, Usha.

Do you really need Spotify? What did you do before Spotify? Go back to that. Bankrupting fascists has to be part of the strategy to beat them.

Or, look at it this way: if you subscribe to Spotify, you're giving your money fascist enablers, at best, and bona fide fascists, at worst.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"
