With the president’s blessing, Skydance merged with Paramount, gaining control of CBS News. Now the giant might eat up Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN

Trump is surely hoping to accomplish what Orbán’s regime has done, controlling some 80% of Hungary’s media market trib.al/DQtQpsA

yes yes yes to all of this. material politics is the way forward and that doesn’t mean slogans it means the very difficult work of being a real presence in the lives of the people who you want to trust you.
It doesn’t matter what I think. Also, none of this would ever happen. But if I had a zillion dollars:

1. Run a “we do hard things” campaign across southern and rust belt states. Invest heavily in local, state and regional social infrastructure. Sponser later hours at a library, build a skate park…
If I were to sum up my advice to the Democratic party leadership about how to defeat Trumpism, it would be to set aside policy for now and focus instead on articulating a vision of what American society should look like and what role the US should play in a rapidly changing world today.

I find it deeply meaningful every single time I see someone using what they have to support others. I really do. We don't all have $1 million but we can give something by thinking creatively.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The DHS quietly implemented major changes to a federal immigration database originally created to check immigration status for those seeking public benefits. The database can now be used as a "voter verification" tool, making it easier to remove voters from the rolls.

10. The crisis now is much, much greater, as inflation and cost of living affect vastly more people than unemployment ever did. It’s so bad that retailers that manage to hold their prices down are being celebrated as champions of the people!

Are you one of the many thousands of people who rely on SNAP?

If so, and you're worried about being able to put on a Thanksgiving meal.

Aldi's can make a meal that feeds 10 people for 40 bucks.

If other guests can chip in it takes the stress off of everyone at your gathering.

genuinely crazy-making how much the national press is indifferent to the verifiable fact that jd vance is buddy buddy with internet nazis, and the degree to which this is almost certainly a form of solidarity among people with a similar institution pedigree

The shutdown is ultimately a legislative negotiation about a budget.
Hard to resolve it when the controlling party in one part of Congress refuses to negotiate, will not re-open the House, is not in DC.
Mike Johnson says he will not bring the House back in session until the government reopens
