“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Apparently we do now and all the Repugnicans that handed over their authority to him, including Rand Paul are complicit.

Government gave Qantas $2.7 billion and we didn't even take a stake.

If a private enterprise needs public money to survive, then it should become a public enterprise. If it's important enough for us to prop it up, then it's important enough for us to control it.

Labor digging into taxpayers' pockets to bail out Rio Tinto again

The government can't hide its frustration with Rio Tinto, but at the same time it's preparing to dip deeper into taxpayers' pockets to help the company out. Again.

Speaker Mike Johnson is perpetually trying to deceive people. He uses his milquetoast speech and persona to mask his determination to ruthlessly cause harm. He wears his “Christianity” on his sleeve as a decoy from his evil intentions. He is not a good person, he just tries to play one on TV.

Mike Johnson allowing Jeffrey Epstein to keep Arizona’s 7th congressional district without representation for now nearly 8 months.

700,000 more Epstein victims thanks to enabler Mike Johnson, who has weaponized the files against them.

The Republican One Big Ugly Bill cut $186 billion from SNAP.

That’s the largest cut to nutritional assistance in American history.

And now the extremists want to force millions more to go hungry.

Enough.

who creates the lively art and music scenes if the rent is too high? who makes cultural life? who serves you food or washes your dishes? who creates the fancy little restaurants that draw you to urban living? affordable housing is at the heart of what makes city life worthwhile.

I tweet: "people who see 50% of their monthly paycheck go to rent don't care if a candidate eats with their hands. they want to hear what your candidate is going to do about housing."

John Galt 2025 replies: "Move if the cost of living is too high."

In the last month, Washington Post Editorial Board has:
•Called to RE-invade Afghanistan
•Blamed Hamas as Israel kills 100+ Palestinians since "ceasefire"
•Defended Trump destroying the White House

This is what state media looks like. I guess "Democracy Dies in Darkness" was a mission statement.😐

I have said this on multiple occasions, but it won’t be the Epstein list that removes him from power.

It will be the economic pain.

The energy we need is this suburban dad standing out in the street -- barefoot with Blackhawks pajama pants on -- screaming at the masked goons to get the fuck out of their neighborhood.
