The way he rubs his inhumanity in Americans” face never ceases to stun me.

He’s illegally refusing to pay food stamp benefits…

…while he throws a ridiculously over the top Gatsby party for his right wing millionaire and corporate friends.

Canada says β€œelbows up.” I say for America, β€œcameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.

Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.
In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.

No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.

We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.

That’s interesting. Last time I heard the phrase β€œQuick Reaction Force” was during the January 6 investigations when the Oath Keepers stashed an arsenal at a Virginia hotel. Gift link: wapo.st/46UGmic

Get some whistles tomorrow, and give them (with an anti-ICE zine) to the parents who walk their kids to your door at Halloween.
Whistles: An extremely low-tech community tool that could prove invaluable over the coming months. I'd like to see a well-funded organization mass produce these and encourage people to hand them out liberally, to friends and neighbors, as party favors, for free at checkout counters, etc.
To stand up to ICE agents, some Chicagoans are arming themselves with whistles
The plastic whistles have become a way to loudly resist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and warn those who may be in danger.

So the Trump Administration is refusing to provide emergency funds for food assistance so that they can use starving Americans as a cudgel? Got it. Cruelty is always the point with them.
Let’s be clear: the administration is choosing not to tap emergency funds available to provide critical food assistance for families in need.

Their own shutdown plan β€” which they recently deleted β€” confirmed they could. Read it for yourself:

Trump’s economy sucks.

And the American people know it.

U.S. consumer confidence declines again, with pessimism over increasing inflation and a weakening job market.
The University of Michigan consumer sentiment was revised down to 53.6 in October, the lowest reading in five months.

Both current conditions and expectations were revised lower.

No real doctor would call an MRI "perfect." That's exactly what you'd say if you're concealing serious medical problems.

President Donald Trump announced on Truth Social on Thursday that he will be terminating trade negotiations with Canada as a result of an anti-tariff ad that was aired by the government of the Canadian province of Ontario.

Even if you are leader of the free world, you don’t just get an MRI without a clear reason to do so.

There’s no such thing as a β€œscreening” MRI.
