Just read for six hours straight in order to finish a mind blowing book (long train journey), the kind that makes me question everything and has literally left me listless and empty.

Goddamn the power of reading.

Over the summer I spoke to a source about how cuts to SNAP would harm her physical and mental health, including how it'd impact eating disorder recovery, and I'm thinking about that conversation constantly as millions of people stand to lose SNAP benefits next month.

Putin’s refusal to prepare the Russian people, including the important ultranationalist constituency, to make any concessions in the war in Ukraine is another indicator that he does not intend to diverge from his long-held demands in any future peace talks.

"This is not just about Jeffrey Epstein...What about the three-quarters of a million people who live in her district in Arizona who now are going unrepresented in the people's House?"

Senate Majority Leader John Thune said Monday he hopes the White House withdraws Paul Ingrassia’s Office of Special Counsel nomination, after POLITICO reported on texts that showed him making racist and anti-Semitic remarks to fellow Republicans.

“He’s not gonna pass,” Thune told reporters.

It’s kind of wild that after seven million people were in the streets protesting, the president posted a hallucinated video of himself wearing a crown and shitting on Americans and then proceeded to start demolishing parts of the White House

Will we only miss Liberty and freedom
when it's gone?
The cost of gas and eggs hardly
matters
while fighting for survival in a concentration camp
camp
or foreign gulag
Silence is the saddest sound
when we can no longer hear freedom's ring
or acknowledge justice for all
Were they only words?

the not fun part is how poor road conditions are - and that's before throwing in wet sticky roads.

Yeah. So The White House
is designated a National Historic Landmark.

That means:

It’s formally recognized as having exceptional national historical significance.

Any substantial changes, demolitions, or new construction affecting it are tightly restricted.

It’s not his house! WTF.

🚨 A woman walking to work in Chicago gets snatched up off the street by ICE. Nothing American in this video. She keeps asking for help over and over. All she gets is a photographer taking her picture and hauled off like an animal. 1/2

Federal workers aren’t getting paid, but of course Kristi Noem gets two private jets costing taxpayers $172 million.

Nothing new from the people who are also sending $40 billion to Argentina while refusing to fund our own government. Shameful.
