I'm here in New England. Lawyer. PoliSci nerd. I believe in the Irish Goodbye, vaccines, and kindness. I also don't think enough people paid attention in high school social studies/history class.

The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.
I may have dropped a few too many "F" bombs there. #WorldSeries
The level of on brand for this is way of the charts.
Per Danny Kemp via press pool

Trump is at the Halloween party at MAL

“Official theme is Gatsby and ‘a little party never killed nobody’, we’re told.”
And we are so pissed we might have to listen to John Smoltz tomorrow.
I cannot get too deep into this, but I have experience with retired professional athletes from all the major leagues. You would be disgusted by the amount of meds they have access to. It has gotten better, but there are way too many retired players with internal conditions from those drugs.

Okay, Soulbear, that was an awesome rendition of Oh Canada.

Joe Scarborough, who made a trip to Mar-a-Lago after the election last year, gets extremely (and somewhat bizarrely) defensive when a guest accuses Trump of engaging in sex crimes with Epstein.
MOULTON: If you're like Trump & took advantage of girls w/Epstein-

SCARBOROUGH: We don't have evidence he took advantage of girls w/Epstein

M: Common sense be damned

S: Is he in the files?

M: Obviously

S: You have absolutely no evidence he took advantage of girls

M: I think it's pretty obvious

Considering all the horrible things the British monarchy has done, and I am not just talking a long time ago, it is pretty stunning to see Charles toss his brother on his ass for his Epstein-related criminal acts. This is bad; it is worse than we can imagine.
WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE MINIMIZING AND IGNORING THE HORRORS PERPETUATED BY EPSTEIN AND HIS FRIENDS! Yes, I am yelling.

NEW:

Roughly 42 million people—the majority of them white American citizens—will lose access to vital food stamp benefits from Satirday.

Far-right influencers and extremists are using the crisis to push racist disinformation about immigrants and Black people

No, SNAP Benefits Aren’t Mostly Used by Immigrants
SNAP benefits are set to run out on Saturday. Far-right influencers and extremists are incorrectly claiming that immigrants are the main recipients of food stamps.

SCOOP: The decorated rear admiral who was heading the critically important Office of Naval Research, and who brought lengthy experience in Navy tech-leadership to the job, "is being replaced by a 33-year-old former DOGE employee with no apparent naval experience."

Three-star general who has more military knowledge and capability in his pinky fingernail than Kegseth will ever have. They are going to start a war and get people killed and there's no guarantee that it doesn't hit American soil considering that resources are being diverted.

A three-star general serving on the Pentagon’s Joint Staff has been pushed out of his position following months of sustained tensions with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, according to people familiar with the matter. https://cnn.it/47fz601
The Cuomo boys are desperate to be as influential as their father was and will turn to people their father would fillet and serve up on a platter for their lies to the American public and their fealty to Trump.
I agree. I will say, as someone who is almost 20 years older than him, that I know people from similar backgrounds (the prep schools) whose parents said, "prove it before I spend any more money," and they went the "F you" route and joined the military.
Did he constantly screw up, and his parents said they aren't paying for college until he shows he is going to put work in, and he retaliated with the Marines? We all know he could have gotten into one of those colleges that admit people with the right numbers on a check.
Yeah, tell that to all the people who have gotten notices averaging more than 50 times, 100 times that false, made-up $13 figure.
Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115%

DR OZ: Where'd you get that number?

Q: Kaiser Family Foundation

OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue
This is not how America is supposed to be. Trump and his goons are doing their best to destroy this country.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
They are doing nothing to make us feel safe flying. We have a very ill family member on the other side of the country. We are not visiting before their passing, and have agreed that after they pass, we will probably go by train. I no longer feel safe driving with my very blue license plate.

JD Vance’s family was on food assistance when he was growing up, but he doesn’t think your family deserves that safety net.
These are the same people who flip out when people say they want nothing to do with them because of their Trump support, because they see a lack of morals in a person who supports Trump.
Vance says it is "totally reasonable and acceptable" for people to not want to live next door to people who speak a different language than they do
Why are people so willing to give up information about themselves? This ranges from health information to everyday anything information.
