Trump+Republicans "starving" SNAP program providing $ to state food benefit programs by halting $ for admin work, furloughing IT support techs & cutting off funding by turning off accounting procedures. 42 million w/out grocery $. They should be ashamed in wealthiest country in the world.

The USDA’s refusal to act has put 42 million Americans on edge. The 50501 Action Guide shows how communities can push back on this administration.

When the president is destroying national landmarks, murdering fishermen, raising prices because he's angry over a Reagan video, and kidnapping parents in front of their crying children is probably not an ideal time to have a lazy, completely incompetent legislative branch perpetually on vacation.

I don’t really think the framers intended for a president to have the power to slap a tariff on products from a particular country because he didn’t like a TV commercial they ran about him, but I suppose it is presently up to the Supreme Ct to decide how far the Mad King can go.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

The 9 meals from anarchy: 1896 U.S. journalist and commentator Alfred Henry Lewis. "the only barrier between us and anarchy is the last nine meals we’ve had." quoteinvestigator.com/2022/05/02/n...
Those of us who are well fed, well garmented and well ordered, ought not to forget that necessity makes frequently the root of crime. It is well for us to recollect that even in our own law-abiding, not to say virtuous cases, the only barrier between us and anarchy is the last nine meals we’ve had. It may be taken as axiomatic that a starving man is never a good citizen. https://quoteinvestigator.com/2022/05/02/nine-meals/

The wealthest country in the world doesn't have universal healthcare for its people! What does that say about its humanity?
petermorley.bsky.social Peter Morley ♿️ @petermorley.bsky.social · 16h
As the lights continue to dim on our Democracy, I just want to go on record that I have always believed that everyone deserves quality universal health coverage whatever it’s called. No one should ever have to worry about going to the doctor and putting food on the table. No one. It’s a human right.

These guys get $50k signing bonuses.

Stephen Miller is telling them they have immunity and encouraging them to create chaos.

They get almost no training, many couldn’t pass an open book exam & they’re allowed to hide their faces.

They’re swinging assault rifles around in public.

Abolish ICE

The year is 2025 & the removal of the White House is complete, replaced by a palace of gold along with the dismantling of something called democracy & rule of law replaced by King Trump & his court of loyal butt lickers/ring kissers who make trillions stealing from everyone else.

Yes, caffeine & other compounds in your coffee can be toxic to aquatic life🪸🐙🦈🦀🌿 at elevated levels. Since the world 🌍consumes 2 Billion cups☕ everyday, the unconsumed coffee liquid & grounds add up in the water waste stream!

The post from the Reagan Foundation is just complete gibberish.

The ad did not, in fact, misrepresent Reagan's views. But the idea that anyone needs the Reagan Foundation's goddamn permission to use the publicly broadcast official remarks of a former president and/or edit them for brevity is crazy
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute learned that the Government of Ontario, Canada, created an ad campaign using selective audio and video of President Ronald Reagan delivering his "Radio Address to the Nation on Free and Fair Trade," dated April 25, 1987. The ad misrepresents the Presidential Radio Address, and the Government of Ontario did not seek nor receive permission to use and edit the remarks. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation and Institute is reviewing its legal options in this matter. We encourage you to watch President Reagan's unedited video on our YouTube channel.

No wonder the shutdown drags on. Releasing the names would reveal how awful & abusive these people are.

So if the administration maintains "that the killings are lawful" of those claimed to be drug smuggling, who is next to be "blown apart, burned alive or drowned"? If extrajudicial is becoming the norm, where does this legal manenuvimg stop?

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 80th day out of the last 92.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
