“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

--Stephen Miller speaking to Memphis police earlier this month.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Interesting that all the talk about the attack on Ukraine by Russia doesn’t involve either of the countries involved. I feel certain any deal will work as well as the “ceasefire” in Gaza.

A Sept. classified State Dept. watchdog report found “many hundreds” of possible human-rights violations by Israeli military units in Gaza, abuses that may fall under Leahy Laws which bar aid to forces accused of these abuses. This report gives new context to this speech.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Houston’s Conservative majority just showed its hand today, refusing to approve a motion from Liberal Iain Rankin to protect protected land in Nova Scotia. One wonders if Houston’s govt wouldn’t sell off their own kids and parents if they thought that would bring “jobs” and have “economic” value.

Leagues claim that the legalization of gambling protects the integrity of sports. But as the scandals rack up, this claim has become flimsier, and fans have started to lose faith in the legitimacy of what they’re watching.

Gabrielle Roy was one of Canada's most acclaimed writers. Her books inspired generations of authors, but did so much more.
Her writing helped lay the foundation for the Quiet Revolution in Quebec.
This is her story.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

The Ronald Reagan video denouncing tariffs, which Donald is in such a snit about, was posted to YouTube eight years ago. It is authentic. Donald is lying. It is not AI.

We are living in such twisted times, when Ronald Reagan's own words are offensive to Republicans.

Just for the record, in 2020:
- Wray was the FBI director Trump handpicked to replace Comey
- Jack Smith was in the Hague prosecuting Kosovo war crimes
- Garland was an appeals court judge
- Monaco was in private practice in LA

There was no Biden administration yet, crooked or otherwise.

He crazy.

Donald J. Trump +
@realDonald Trump
Just in: Documents show conclusively that Christopher Wray, Deranged Jack Smith, Merrick Garland, Lisa Monaco, and other crooked lowlifes from the failed Biden Administration, signed off on Operation Arctic Frost. They spied on Senators and Congressmen/women, and even taped their calls. They cheated and rigged the
2020 Presidential Election. These Radical Left Lunatics should be prosecuted for their illegal and highly unethical behavior!
