SNAP benefits help children. Republicans don't care as long as their billionaire patrons get the tax breaks promised in Trump's Big Ugly Bill. Republicans need to get back to work and convene with Democrats to protect Americans.

Take a moment to process this. The three wealthiest people in our country have more wealth than over 170 million Americans combined.

The same politicians beholden to the mega wealthy want you to believe that providing food assistance for children, seniors, and struggling families is the problem.

Ever watched how ships sink? At first it seems nothing is happening. Then spouts of spray as it imperceptibly lowers, with gushes of oily junk and pollution flung in the air... until finally, with a rush, it all disappears in a messy geyser like internal gases escaping a rotted carcass.

Americans aren't buying Johnson's increasingly bizarre shutdown lies.

"According to anΒ Ipsos/Reuters poll, 72% of Americans are in favor of extending Affordable Care Act insurance subsidies. Meaning 72% of Americans disagree with Republicans."

Only two things guaranteed:

It'll be megamaniacally huge, a giant barn, and won't respect any other historical structure. The White House will look like an appendage.

There'll be so much bad-taste gold-colored ornamentation it'll look like an Arabian brothel.

No, CNN, it is not an important legal victory.

It is a blip along the way to the Supreme Court. It’s a case in which two Trump appointees paid him back for their lifetime jobs.

So, if you are going to offer legal analysis, make sure it’s accurate.

American expats held a No Kings rally in Paris at the Fontaine des Innocents. While only about 500 Americans were there, Parisiennes... who always love any opportunity to protest... were happy to join in and swell the crowd to several thousand, especially when they could gleefully slam Trump.

'No Kings' isn’t just a slogan. It’s a call to save democracy before it’s too late.
In June, millions of Americans rose up in the largest single-day mobilization in modern history. Today, we’re doing it again, but bigger.
