🚨Matt Waltz, Ambassador to the UN, is called OUT during a General Assembly by Cuba’s Foreign Minister! 🚨 Sound ⬆️. 1/2

The energy bill write off con.

Fuel poverty rising, debt £4.4bn. Ofgem says £500m could be written off.

It would be added to the bills of other customers. Energy companies made £514bn operating profit since 2020.

No cut in their profit. Debt would be rebuilt

Nationalise energy. End profiteering

And USDA is blaming undocumented immigrants, trans people, and Democrats when it is all on Trump.

Trump has an authorized $5B SNAP contingency fund he won't use because he wants to make people suffer to force Democrats to accept his terms.

That includes children, veterans, active duty troops.

Everything in this official USDA post is a lie

This contradicts what the USDA had on its OWN website - that it would use contingency funds to keep feeding people

Dems are NOT asking for health insurance for undocumented immigrants

The shutdown has NOTHING to do with “gender mutilation procedures”

Germany gets it, maybe we will too after this shitshow ends...

Germany's approach to free speech is founded on the principle of a "defensive democracy," which protects fundamental rights but imposes restrictions to prevent the resurgence of Nazism and other anti-constitutional ideologies.

US SENATE VOTES 51-47 TO OVERTURN TRUMP’S ‘LIBERATION DAY’ GLOBAL TARIFFS — FOUR REPUBLICANS JOIN DEMOCRATS; MOVE IS MOSTLY SYMBOLIC AS WHITE HOUSE LIKELY TO VETO

Adam Silver said WNBA players shouldn’t ask for revenue share because W revenue is much lower than the NBAs. But the NBA's financial condition heading into the 1983 CBA when players got rev share was similar/worse than where the WNBA is now. Going to discuss on today’s pod:

As right-wing & GOP figures attack Biden’s use of autopen for pardons, January 6 participants said on a podcast earlier this year that their pardons weren't signed at all.

My latest:

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

*1981 Sherrilyn horrified by 2025 Sherrilyn saying “let’s post Reagan’s speech.”

As someone who has been on SNAP benefits in the past, what will happen Nov. 1 is that people will start diverting other funds towards groceries. They will choose to feed their families over making credit card payments, paying medical bills, car payments, etc. This is going to affect a lot of things.

This seems rather bad— the Trump regime’s top officials are moving onto protected military bases.

Higher groceries, unaffordable health care, skyrocketing medical costs & rent, cuts to social programs to protect our most vulnerable…and the slashing of consumer protections.
Two ?’s—
Then what are our tax dollars being used for?
Who can afford Republican policies?

What’s up?

The cost of healthcare!

Courtesy of Trump and Republicans.

Their cuts to ACA subsidies, their refusal to reopen the government and negotiate with Dems to help Americans will leave millions unable to afford the care {not just food} they need to survive.

These numbers are staggering.

Powell: "Job gains have slowed significantly since earlier in the year. A good part of the slowing likely reflects a decline in the growth of the labor force due to lower immigration and labor force participation, though labor demand has clearly softened as well."

Snyder is always ahead of the game.
Trump isn’t a formula they can just recreate.
He’s a singular cult figure to millions & has leverage over many in Congress.
JD Vance could never get away with the stuff Trump does.
That’s why they’re all moving to military bases; they’re scared.

$66 a month for someone earning $22k annually ($1,835 monthly) can be devastating when you realize the average median monthly cost of rent in the US is $1700.

Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin.

Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered.

63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government.

Was putting my face on and missed a call from my dad. Saw this text and called him back. (This is a nice story. Also his name is not Bob. That’s what the grandkids call him. Long and unrelated story.)
