Trump: "I stick up for Viktor Orban. Not a lot of people do because in many cases they're jealous. They wish they did what he did. They would have no problems if they did what he did."

The members of the jury took their jobs far more seriously than did the prosecutors. That, in itself, is a huge rebuke to Trumpism.

The Trump Administration continues to resist its responsibility to feed our residents. Every day they delay, families are at risk of going hungry.

We're urging the court to hold them accountable and deliver full benefits to the millions of Americans who rely on SNAP.

That's funny, "what if everyone had a robot that could help with anything they need" was also my solution to poverty when I was 12.

Larry Glickman @larryglickman.bsky.social · 8h

This passage puts Musk's arrogance and moral blinders on full display. At DOGE, Musk destroyed USAID and weakened other part of the compensatory state that have been shown to effectively address poverty. Yet here he babbling about robots and "wild sci-fi scenarios" as the "only way" to do so.

Mr. Musk addressed some of those concerns obliquely, saying the company’s humanoid robot, Optimus, was the singular solution for addressing poverty. The robot remains under development.

“People often talk about eliminating poverty, giving everyone amazing medical care. Well, there’s actually only one way to do that, and that’s with the Optimus robot,” Mr. Musk said. “You start getting into like, some pretty wild sci-fi sort of scenarios.”

Marjorie Taylor Greene: "It's absolutely the worst political move to have the House in recess & for us to not be here working...there's a lot of disenfranchised 2024 voters & that was obvious in Tuesday's election.

Paging Dr Freud and VP Vance: Trump's appeal of the court order denying him the chance to starve Americans by not paying SNAP benefits literally concludes: "There is no lawful basis for an order that directs USDA to somehow find $4 billion in the metaphorical couch cushions."

Haven’t seen much of Stephen Miller after he did his big media tour promoting Republican candidates leading up to Tuesday’s elections. Hopefully they are just saving him to be the face of the Republican Party for the midterms.

"They want everyone to know these thugs they’ve deployed to terrorize cities are battle-hardened and impervious to pain. But in court, they're such delicate flowers that if they are, say, lightly grazed by a sandwich, they are entitled to justice because of the horrific assault they have suffered."

Remember this:
The Trump Administration wants poor children to starve - in America, and throughout the world.
Has there ever been a regime like this before - that actively promotes the hunger, suffering, and possible starvation of its own children, as well as those worldwide who no longer get aid?

If anyone’s actually concerned about mass migration and/or drug trafficking, collapsing the Venezuelan government with no plan to stabilize the situation after would be, um, counterproductive.

What’s a few million Venezuelans stranded, starving, or dispersed, anyway?
