Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

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.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Californians, please vote Yes on 50 today if you haven't already. If it comes up with anyone you know, encourage them to do the same. Please

I'm not punishing anyone. I'm not telling them what they can't eat. I'm only saying what they spend SNAP on could be limited to more nutritious foods. "SNAP benefits typically cover about 30% of a household's food budget" They are free to spend the other 70% any way they please.

That's what the ultra processed food companies want you to think. There are a LOT of foods that take only minutes to make. We all have microwaves.

True @tbvamp.bsky.social · 1d

I don't agree. There are plenty of minimally processed foods that don't take long. Sandwiches or roll ups are a great example especially if you buy healthier breads/tortillas. Toss a potato in a microwave, 4 minutes. Tuna from a can on a prechopped salad, 2 minutes. Scrambled eggs, pb&j etc.

Is it possible Trump simply doesn't want the government open, period, and has no intention of trying to open it back up at all?

I eagerly await the day that he flees wherever. And I await the CIA snagging he and his family from that location when we are ready to send them to jail.

Newsom: "He is not screwing around. He's changing the rules. He's rigging the game because he knows he'll lose if all things are equal. He did not expect California to fight fire with fire."

I don't 'resent the poor' for buying crap food. I would prefer that good food were purchased. IMO there's nothing wrong with restricting what can be bought. The only reason we don't do that is that big monocroppers and all the folks that make money from ultra processed foods want some of that $$$

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Ask him to describe in his own words what the scientists did without looking it up.

(since he can't even describe what tests he took at his second annual check up my money is on failure. LOL)

Two days ago, in USA v Abrego Garcia, the Homeland Sec investigator who "re-opened" Abrego's criminal case on 4/17 turned over to the prosecutor a bunch of documents he'd never seen before. Judge orders atty-only conference Friday on whether they should immediately be turned over to defense.
