China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this “deal” to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

A government office worker who helps seniors and the disabled with social security benefits shared her emotional response to the government shutdown. Essential government workers like her haven't been paid in four weeks. The pressure of it all has led to panic attacks: "We don't deserve this."
Kristi Noem is a filthy liar.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

A bulwark of our democracy has been the courts. No Democratic POTUS candidate will be perfect or meet every litmus test. Remember Federal Judges and Supreme Court Justices are appointed by the US President.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

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

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

This is a fantastical load of pure horseshit. At the beginning of fiscal year 2026, SNAP had $6 billion in contingency reserves available.
Unless they've managed to plunder that $6 billion as well. Which honestly wouldn't surprise me much.

I've noticed they're layering good accounts in with their shitbuds. They ones I've blocked all followed the blusky acct first.

I think they're trying to flood it with maga bot access. I like data. And I know that's how they swarmed dead twitter. They botted the place up.

It's odd that Secretary of Labor Lori Michelle Chavez-DeRemer is a Latina. What does she think when she looks at these pictures?
