Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

"If we had a contingency fund."

You mean like this contingency fund the Trump Administration just deleted off their website? The one they are legally required to use to keep SNAP funded?

If they don't care about feeding hungry kids that are already here, stop calling them pro-life.

Cutting SNAP benefits is atrocious.

I hope my California friends didn’t forget that Texas Republicans are so desperate to rig the midterms that a couple of months ago they held a state rep hostage in the legislature & wouldn’t even let her use her phone from the bathroom.

Turnout to vote by 11/4!

Wyoming has extremely high insurance premiums already, I shudder to think what they will be next year. A 29 year-old male here pays $790 now on the exchange without the subsidy. @wyodems.org

Mike Johnson has been "working night and day" on fixing health care. It's the same garbage that weakens protections for pre-existing conditions, guts Medicaid and CHIP. Present that to the public Mike! See what they think. www.dailykos.com/stories/2025...

GOP's new health care 'fix' sure sounds familiar

House Speaker Mike Johnson on Monday suggested that the "ideas" Republicans are kicking around for how to make health insurance more affordable is basically just the Obamacare-repeal plan that the GOP...

Image comparing two quotes from Mike Johnson.

In the top frame labeled 'Mike Johnson Last Week:' Mike Johnson says "The Republican Party controls the White House, the Senate, and the House."

In the bottom frame labeled 'Mike Johnson Now:' Mike Johnson says "Democrats keep saying, 'Republicans are in charge of government.' We aren't."

Pretty funny because the amount the Harris campaign spent on LGBTQ ads, was, get this: zero. Wonder what’s going on there and why voters and guys like @walshfreedom.bsky.social think that, guess there’s no way to know.

Look at THIS #ICELawlessness!

Is this freedom?

This is in a school. See the disregard for this little girl's safety.

Not 1 Republican elected is speaking out against this violence (in MANY cases against US CITIZENS).

Vote for Democrats & #VoteYesOnProp50 & the PA judges to save democracy!

Are Republicans ever going to show us their plan to fix healthcare? After all they "are working around the clock every day to fix healthcare. " www.youtube.com/shorts/JZn3O...

Straight-talking Mike Johnson struggles to look at the camera when claiming to care about healthcare

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

“$350,000,000”

And surely all those *investors* will get itemized receipts to make sure he didn’t just pocket most of it too right?

No wonder taxpayers aren’t paying — less transparency/criming this way

Is Putin egging Trump on about tearing down part of the White House? Maybe it's some kind of gang ritual to prove 47's loyalty to the Kremlin. Or Putin could be dropping hints to Krasnov that the East Wing is unsightly next to the ballroom. Anyway, the optics help Russian propaganda.

It will provide an excellent opportunity to remind people of all the reasons why Donald Trump should he serving a long federal prison term.

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?

The Trump administration doesn’t know if the people in this boat committed a crime

Didn’t arrest them

Never indicted them, conducted a trial, proved their guilt or-if they were actually convicted-argued over their sentence

No-they simply killed them

Then broadcast the murder on social media
