Give them all a waiver then! Why are they doing any of this?
Unf*ckingbelievable.
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

To be clear, “on it,” means, “not on it.”
Is this the long-awaited, much-ballyhooed replacement for Obamacare?
You message the president on social media and hope he intervenes?

Justice Kavanaugh: "and those individuals may promptly go free after making clear to the immigration officers that they are U.S. citizens or otherwise legally in the United States."
"According to his running club, the man, who is a U.S. citizen, was returning from a team run when agents pulled him out of his vehicle, tackled him to the ground and kneeled on top of him, allegedly breaking six ribs and causing internal bleeding"
US citizen, 67, ‘has six ribs broken’ by Border Patrol agents, his running club says
The incident unfolded Saturday in Chicago’s Old Irving Park neighborhood, where residents say federal agents disrupted a children’s Halloween parade

I found a photo of the drone parts. They buy the “drone parts” for $0.16 a piece on Temu and sell them to the military for $16k each.

I only have like zero followers so I’ll learn nothing from this but how many people do you know who are leaving the military earlier than they planned bc they are disturbed by what’s happening? And know two thus far.

What if we could reopen the government AND stop healthcare costs from going up 300%; Is that a deal Republicans would be interested in?
They don’t really care about hungry kids. Just political power. Hold the line, Democrats.

Precisely. Racism is the gateway to Trump’s power grab.
It is impossible to imagine people allowing this to go on (or even participating in it within the government) if he was ordering the murder without any process of French citizens or Brits or Australians on boats no matter what they were alleged to be doing.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."

Call on your House colleagues to impeach him then
Rand Paul: "When you kill someone, if you're not in a declared war, you really need to know someone's name at least. You have to accuse them of something. You have to present evidence. So all of these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime."

The Trump administration just ordered two Gulfstream luxury private jets for Kristi Noem at a cost of over $172 million.

This morning, I was hit in the face by a baton.
I’m going to have a pretty gnarly bruise but we need to remember why this is happening: Trump and ICE are rounding up our neighbors, treating them as subhuman, and shipping them off to labor camps in foreign countries. It has to end.

Excited to inform you all that the Department of Homeland Security is currently attempting to ratio me (and failing, as of more than two hours later).

I’m horrified by Trump’s order to send 300 National Guard troops to Chicago. We’re only nine months into a four year term and already the president is trying to invade an American city. If you’re in the Guard, you can and should refuse these orders.

you absolutely get right wing “the city is mad max” rhetoric about charlottesville
The idea among rightwingers of cities being dangerous extends to the smallest cities possible. I live in a city of maybe 30,000 people, and I remember a coworkers' husband years ago acting like I must witness Taxi Driver-level degradations everyday.

This is not America first
Trump’s latest tariff announcement makes it painfully obvious that his tariffs have nothing to do with U.S. workers.
The reality? He’s bullying countries to do his authoritarian bidding under the guise of “trade policy.”
This has been the plan all along. Disgraceful.
