Y’all acting like you’ve never seen a 79 year-old drug addict who spent decades assaulting under age girls, throw some half-naked chics in a martini glass at his Palm Beach resort while he steals SNAP benefits from 42 million folks and sends soldiers into American cities before?

even when far rightwingers are having an extremely positive experience on all fronts they’re still able to hallucinate a situation where they’re the victim

In a way, I find the authoritarian takeover of our media system even more disturbing than the authoritarian takeover of our political system.

Our political system has been failing basically my entire adult life. But, the media system provided accountability and sort of worked. Now it’s collapsing.

Some people waited in line up for 14 hours to receive a food box from a church giveaway.

500 people volunteered to help and they still ran out of food.

Remember for every one person a food bank feeds, SNAP feeds 9.

By turning off food assistance the regime is starving Americans.

Congratulations, Andrew Cuomo!

I know how hard you worked for this.
I feel badly for the victims one of whom unalived herself
Trump on Prince Andrew and the Epstein scandal: "I feel very badly. I mean, it's a terrible thing that's happened to the family. That's been a tragic situation. And it's too bad. I feel badly for the family."

ICYMI, Trump posted that he wanted to fund SNAP "as soon as possible . . . [i]f we are given the appropriate legal direction."

So a federal judge said "here's the legal direction" and ordered either full payment by today or partial by Wednesday.

NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)

Are you fucking kidding me 1 what in the evil fuck
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
