The level of stupidity makes me think this has got to be a simulation. Real life can't be derailed this easily. But yet... here we are.

You're a weak, pathetic putz. Shame on you. Chuck Chamberlain.
πŸ’― This..
Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.
You're absolutely pathetic and have no role being in the democratic caucus. Go pound sand you twit!
Because one side is a cult lead by a brain dead lunatic. But sure, roll over and play dead. Shaheen is pathetic.
Hold the line! What are you thinking? What are we even doing anymore?

Astonishing how hard this administration is working to keep people hungry.
It's clear they are trying maximize public suffering, in hopes of getting people to blame Dems for that suffering. But it's transparently the White House working overtime to keep the suffering going!

Yikes. USDA sent threatening letter to states telling them that if they sent out EBT money β€”which many states did during the window when a lower court said SNAP funds had to be releasedβ€”they have to take it back (?)
Trying to sort out what this means and if states even can claw back the funds

1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

I'm gonna keep quoting myself until this crime against civilization starts getting serious notice.
The Trump regime is East Winging the Goddard Space Flight Center, home to the 10,000 scientists and engineers in NASA science and engineering directorates.
BREAKING: NASA Goddard Space Flight Center is illegally closing 13 campus buildings (including ~100 laboratories).

Setting up for a -70 degree, tree killing temperature swings. 70 to 0 in 24-hours.
GOP/MAGA are ALWAYS the victim. Imagine how pissed off they'd be if the lived in the same dysfunctional world us poors live in...
Every accusation is a confession. The only consistent behavior from the whole corrupt GOP.

The biggest story in the country right now should be Donald Trump admitting he has no idea who he's pardoningβ€”and that he only pardoned a crypto fraudster because his sons told him to.

Could you imagine the reaction if Joe Biden admitted something like that?

Lots of wrong information coming from the Trump administration on SNAP "running out of money November 1" and the SNAP contingency fund.

The truth is:
1) It *can* be used to cover SNAP benefits during a shutdown.
2) It actually *must* be used to cover SNAP benefits during a shutdown.

Let's dig in.

Stagflation

The Fed Chair is describing stagflation but does not want to say the word.
Powell: "In the near term, risks to inflation are tilted to the upside, and risks to employment to the downside -- a challenging situation. There is no risk-free path for policy as we navigate this tension between our employment and inflation goals."
