Speaker Mike Johnson says our House of Representatives will be closed again next week. They have been out of session for almost 2 months! And unlike federal workers, they are still getting paid!

Murdering humans in the Caribbean Sea. Risking starvation of tens of millions of Americans. Urging abusive federal agents to use deadly force.

Can Americans agree to never again elect a man who could not care less about human life, except for his own?

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

With all the excitement about the election I don’t want this story to get lost. This morning 8 car wash workers in Boston were kidnapped by federal agents in the largest workplace raid in the area in recent memory.

The details are horrifying.

Many of them held legal status but were unable to immediately produce their documentation to the agents, according to their manager.

stating the obvious, but infuriates me: doesnt the "we will give some SNAP payments but less $$ and late payment" feel like more of the extortion and begging for scraps crap that this admin loves?

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles.

This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

There are too many people in this country who care more about how lower income folks spend their SNAP dollars then how Trump spends our tax dollars.

And that is a huge problem.
