Aldi is advertising a "Thanksgiving Feast for 10 for $40"! I thought I'd get most of the ingredients listed below at the beginning of November and see how long I can make them last since I may not get next month's SNAP benefits.

The Shallow State @ourshallowstate.bsky.social · 1h

These asinine discussions about Trump running for office again in 2028 are just the political Right's way of obfuscating the plain-as-day fact that he's in ill health physically and declining cognitively.
Him running in 2028 is a non-story. He's dying.

Weekend at Bernie's . . .

Unelected Stephen Miller is really President . . .

President Bystander stumped when asked about pardon he signed hours earlier

On Thursday morning, Trump signed one of his most scandalous pardons to date. On Thursday afternoon, he couldn’t explain his actions from hours earlier.

Donald Trump Has a “Dictator Chic” Design Taste

I wrote a book about autocrats’ design tastes. The U.S. president would fit right in.

BREAKING: Jack Smith is insisting upon a public hearing if Congress wants to talk to him

Good. Why does the GOP want backroom secret questioning? What are Republicans afraid of?

Let the American people see & hear for themselves!

Governor Gavin Newsom: #California is fast-tracking up to $80 million in state funds, as well as deploying the California National Guard and California Volunteers to support food banks as the ongoing federal government shutdown begins to delay SNAP food benefits for 5.5 million Californians.

If the National Guard is really in D.C. to protect federal
property, they should probably have been at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. two days ago

Trump and Stephen Miller’s authoritarian playbook is painfully predictable:

1️⃣ Target a Democratic city
2️⃣ Lie about crime
3️⃣ Deploy heavily armed agents to aggressively detain innocent people and violate their rights
4️⃣ Create stress and chaos
5️⃣ Use self-created chaos as excuse for militarization

Who will start the class action lawsuit against the current president for desecration of our White House?
