fyi, the SNAP eliminations are a Project 2025 mandate.

SNAP recipients didn’t lose benefits during prior such shutdowns.

Pay attention.

This video shows how easy it is to make bread without additives. Great video, Solomon. I make bread 4-5 times a month and I plan to try this recipe.

This is how all Democrats should respond to questions from the billionaire-controlled media.

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

People will be uninsured. This number is probably way more than rent, maybe more than their monthly paycheck. Cruelty is the point.

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price?

$2733.15 a month.

AOC hasn’t claimed to be a swimmer, but Riley Gaines stuck her nose where she showed her ignorance.

Send it to Santa Fe. Or Phoenix. Just for shits and grins.

Yesterday, I applied for inactive status with the California Bar. I worked hard for the degree because I wanted to do some good in the world, and maybe I did. It becomes effective on December 31. I feel relief, and grief for what people in my profession are doing to to themselves to support the 🍊🐖.

Mike Johnson feigns ignorance of all noteworthy events in our country—or maybe he is stupid with no sense of curiosity or the duties his job requires. Can you imagine Speaker Pelosi ever saying the things he does? If she did not know about something she’d say “I’ll look into it” & she would.

Mike Johnson, the perpetually unaware, strikes again.

Because facts are painful?

Mike Johnson is incredibly stupid.

Only if it includes ACA subsidies. Otherwise, fuck it.

Happy Eleventy-First Birthday to Dr. Jonas Salk. RFK, Jr., take note: Salk did a great good for the world while you shit on your father’s reputation.

The statement should be “there is no path.”

Nothing like this matters unless WASPs do it.

Christine Valada @mcvalada.bsky.social · 5d

She would be in my Italian-American family as well. So were my parents’ close friends. WASPs have no extended families, I guess.

Christine Valada @mcvalada.bsky.social · 5d

Stupid, stupid, stupid people. Lots of honorary aunts and uncles in my family, and my mother’s contemporary cousins were all called aunt or uncle by my generation. Some people want to be outraged at all costs because, otherwise, they have no real lives.

They don’t want the fallout of actually doing the destruction to poor people. Cowards and bullies.

The executive branch owns nothing. The People of the United States own all of those buildings. But, there are certainly spaces in DC that can hold large state dinners. I seem to recall the old Post Office Building being one of them.

One of the themes of Trek has always been infinite diversity in infinite combinations. I’ve known many Trek writers—and I’m close friends with several—and they are majority not right wingers. Also, women have been big fans of the show since the beginning. Bjo Trimble helped save TOS.

Happy to oblige with passing this on. I’m not a fan of Reagan, but I dislike the rapist pedophile more.

Sherrilyn Ifill @sifill.bsky.social · 9d

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).
