I see that CBS chose not to air this part. It probably explains much of what they did decide to air.

It’s a joke that Ciattarelli wants us to believe he cares about public safety after he’s spent years trying to slash police pay & benefits. He’s on record saying cops should earn less because he knows people with more dangerous jobs!

Turnout for Mikie Sherrill on Tuesday, Nov 4th.

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

Today is the last day to vote early in-person!

You do not need an appointment to vote early, so find your county’s designated early polling locations and vote. 🗳️

First RFK Jr. wanted to take fluoride out of water and has had some success in Republican jurisdictions that think scientific evidence is for chumps.

But that wasn’t enough harm for him, so now he’s restricting kids’ access to fluoride supplements.

Let’s hope they remember what happened to Jay Gatsby.
Not conservative. Far right-wing.
Sen. Schumer, we already know he’s weaponizing hunger; no need to point that out now. As a boomer and a lifelong #Dem, I want you to either be more aggressive in countering these thugs or step aside and let someone else do it. PLEASE stop bringing a water pistol to a gunfight!

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.

If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.

So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”

Because that IS what they are going to say.

Mikie will address the high costs of living plaguing NJ residents-including the high cost of housing!
She will also protect women’s rights to healthcare care & choice!
Please GOTV for Mikie Sherrill!

She was shocked, shocked to learn that toilet existed!

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.
Happy and nervous to report that I have signed up for @nano2point0.bsky.social and committed to 30 minutes of creative writing every day in #November. Haven’t pushed myself like this in a long time. Wish me #luck!

For the record, the Kaiser Family Foundation has NOT retracted it‘s prediction. Oz was either mistaken, or, more likely, lying.

There’s a special place in hell for anyone who can watch this and feel joy.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
As someone said somewhere else, remember what happens to Gatsby…

With the alleged layoffs of only people of color, CBS once again to be known as the Caucasian Broadcasting Network.

Maybe Target can get a discounted ad rate?
