ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the 94 million pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the #Trump administration’s cuts to The Emergency Food Assistance Program.

My latest video for @propublica.org.

Sarah Matthews: "This is exactly what I worried about in a second Trump administration—that it'd be staffed by a bunch yes men and women, all sycophants not willing to push back on him. The once independent DOJ just seems like the retribution arm for the Trump administration."

Here in Chicago, in the face of increasing ICE incidents, we have come out to protect one another . We show up at school drop-offs and pick-ups to protect the children. We look out for our neighbors. We protest, and we pray. We bear witness. My latest:

Americans are fed up with the corrupt and feckless Trump administration.

Millions will again join 'No Kings' protests against this out-of-control president who is more concerned with building a gilded ballroom in the White House than with the lives of Americans.

Barrett turns to Fox News, rather than the docket, to explain her silence in key rulings

Justice Barrett wrote nothing in the racial profiling shadow docket ruling, but had something to say on Fox News Sunday. And, for paid subscribers: Closing my tabs.

News outlets broadly reject Pentagon rules before signing deadline

The Washington Post and other major news outlets have refused to sign the Defense Department’s restrictive new media policy, citing First Amendment concerns.

Great thread on the price of shirts that can be applied to almost any retail product.

derek guy @dieworkwear.bsky.social · 1d

This two-parter below is exactly why it's hard to make clothes in the United States.

Let's look at how much it costs to produce a button-up shirt in the US. 🧵

Someone on Twitter replies to me: "meh. buy american or stfu."

Two hours later, in a separate thread, the write: "$30 for a single button-up is ridiculous unless it is decent quality silk."

George Stephanopolous did what every anchor and host should have been doing since Bush 2000: Rejecting the bullshit, gaslighting, and rude, evasive filibustering the GOP has perfected to hide their lies.

NO MORE BULLSHIT.

“The incident described in the crew members’ two reports suggests that such hostility has been directed not only at demonstrators, but at first responders who were asked by the feds to assist.”

Feds delayed medics who had come to pick up an injured protester. Then, according to confidential incident reports, the agents became aggressive.

What did Tom Homan do with the $50K he took in a CAVA bag from undercover FBI agents?

Just keep asking this everyday. Its a big scandal they can't escape because Pam Bondi and her DOJ killed the investigation. They're cornered on this and the Epstein Files.

So in the Comey case, prosecutors are working thru a bunch of shit that should have happened 6 months ago, at least.

The most alarming of which is a bid to get inside SOME lawyer's device.

This is most likely to be Dan Richman, BUT
