We need to triage the family food shortages now, and continue the necessary and frustrating work to eliminate the reasons for hunger — which is strictly a policy choice.
Hi, we ran out of baseball and the sun went down at like 12:45 and it's hard to know where to start with the grocery crisis. TIL you can search Amazon's registry section by state for food banks' wishlists. If you can, buy a neighbor some soup or tea: www.amazon.com/registries/s...

Trump posts crazy stuff like this at times where he feels like he’s not getting enough attention and wants people to start talking about him again. It’s deranged, narcissistic behavior.
So "no new wars" meant ALL the wars. Got it.
Not just wrong, unjust and cruel to a generation of kids and their families who deserve an equal education, and a chance to allow their child to achieve independence.
If you read anything today, let this be it.

The government has abandoned its commitment to an equitable education for all children—if it ever had one.

Trump hosting Great Gatsby parties, building a $300 million dollar ballroom — which is solely for parties for his anonymous donors — and using only the "finest" marble with more Temu gold while literally using hunger as a weapon.

When is enough *enough*
15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.

A trending newe phrase hath societye at sixes and sevens
When I was campaigning I always tied the actual dollar savings to policies I advocated — and I was often met with the same anger towards these programs by Republicans, because it was never about the money, it was the fictional "robbery" they envisioned by "undeserving" people.
Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Boy we are still using careful language about something completely and utterly illegal and a massive human rights violation
You know what I've seen consistently for years? Zohran in the community, standing out in front.

Forget Cuomo, very few politicians maintain that genuine connection to the communities they represent —he's the real deal.

What's a word for gaslighting but even more blatant and stupid

Yes but I have to put the Prime Directive on hold
America has never in its history held those accountable for the worst, most egregious acts of violence and corruption and suffering — from native Americans, slavery, Jim crow, Tulsa race massacre, japanese internment, Nixon etc.

We "move forward" and repeat everything.

Yeah when this nightmare is over we need to build a country that doesn't collapse with the election of one insane person.

Fixing this won't be easy, and it will take more time than people realize.
Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.
I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.
Pretty sure you will be stopped, we've done it before.
