“The greatest single cause of #Atheism in the world today is #Christians who acknowledge #Jesus with their lips, and walk out the door, and deny Him by their lifestyle.
That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable.”

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

That’s $350/month. For families. How does a family stockpile food with that amount?

Is there any resource that identifies the highest priority for food bank donations in NYC? Like who needs funds most in the area
I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

Emergency funds to foods banks aren’t sufficient — these people are employed and caregivers they can’t afford to stand on long food lines. The way aid is delivered is just as important as the cash itself in terms of who is able to benefit

Trump officials are living on base and in military properties because they know the military will protect those properties in the event of mass protests against the government, right?
Miller is living on a military base with controlled access, and others are in military housing for the same reason.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and several other Trump officials are using Washington-area homes built for senior members of the military. Some former residents are worried that the break with tradition could make it more difficult for some admirals and generals to find affordable housing.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth moved into a home at Fort McNair traditionally reserved for the Army’s vice chief of staff. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and others also now live in military housing.

DHS “probably violated federal immigration laws, which entitle most immigrants facing deportation to a hearing before a judge — a hearing Mr. Juarez never had. .. It is unclear how many other immigrants like Mr. Juarez have been erroneously removed ..”

The Republican Senate Majority Leader chose to send the Senate HOME rather than hold a vote to fund SNAP.

He will force a vote 13 times on a bill he knows won't pass rather than vote ONE time on a bill to fund SNAP we KNOW would pass.

Shameful.

Speaker Johnson admits Trump & Republicans are forcing millions of kids to go hungry for political leverage. He says funding SNAP would "reduce the pressure" on Democrats. Disgusting.
BASH: Even Hawley says you should move money around to feed people. Why not consider it?

JOHNSON: Because if you deviate from the goal of reopening the entire govt, Schumer & the radicals will continue to play games. If you do just part of this, it will reduce the pressure for them to do all of it

BREAKING: Senate GOP just BLOCKED Democrats' straightforward bill to pay our troops.

If Republicans still refuse to work with Democrats to reopen the government and prevent health care costs from skyrocketing, they should at the very least be able to work with us to make sure our troops get paid.

The Jewish right discovering in real time that the Trumpist right, and the open bigotries it has unleashed upon the US body politic, is not in fact going to spare Jews, is quite a trip.

A quick annotation for the perplexed:

*"Globalist class" = The Jews™

*"Their mouthpieces in Washington" = the people-puppets whose strings are pulled by The Jews™ and/or The Jews™ themselves.

If only someone or all of Jewish history had given the Jewish people any kind of warning about fascists.

There's a communication blackout in El Fasher, Sudan. But we know what is happening there because a genocidal militia is gleefully publishing snuff videos on social media and bragging about their body counts as they rampage through a major city

"One reason the partial government shutdown has dragged on for nearly a month is because most Americans have felt no discernable impact on their daily life," the Editorial Board writes.

"That’s starting to change."

Piecemeal bills are a waste of time. Just fund the whole government.
