1 in 5 children in America rely on SNAP. That’s a lot of blood on Trump and the GOP’s hands. JD Vance received govt food aid as a kid. The stench coming off these people is staggering.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

The UAW made history last year by organizing a Southern auto plant for the first time since the 1940s.

They might do so again, after authorizing a strike at the VW plant.

It takes enormous courage to fight for your rights on the job in a hostile environment. Solidarity.

If you are wondering how to help people in your community, financial donations to food banks are incredibly important right now.

The USDA has instructed states to deny SNAP nutrition benefits.

As we have said repeatedly at Defend Public Health, MAHA is a joke when kids in the U.S. are hungry.

The United States Department of Agriculture has instructed states to hold the issuance of November 2025 NA benefits. Approved participants of the SNAP program will be unable to collect November benefits until federal funding is released to states.
DES will continue to accept and process applications for SNAP. Additional information will be provided as the situation changes.

Not a put on—I *seriously* thought this was an attempt at humor.

But it seems that *he* (Rob Schneider) was the one being serious.

These people are members of the most dangerous American cult of the last 150 years and possibly ever.

They are—candidly—utterly mad. They’re also in charge right now.

Trump has pardoned billionaire crypto mogul and Binance founder Changpeng Zhao — who pled guilty to money laundering charges.

This comes after Zhao helped boost the Trump family’s crypto business.

It's just the latest example of Trump's Pay-to-Pardon Scheme.

If I had the money to buy myself two private planes….

I would choose to help others instead…specifically foster kids and animals.

At the same time millions of Americans are losing their healthcare and Trump is illegally canceling cancer research funding, Kristi Noem just bought two private jets for her personal use. The corruption from this administration is astounding.

What an emblem of the billionaire class—descending on a peaceful city in a private jet on the horn to NYT asking for the place to be invaded by federal authorities because the rent-a-cops you employ for a week to harass a few junkies outside the convention center cost too much.

Mr. Benioff spoke as his annual Dreamforce conference is set to begin Tuesday in downtown San Francisco, bringing 50,000 visitors to the city. He is scheduled to deliver a keynote address about the benefits of "agentic enterprise," a business model in which humans and artificial intelligence bots work together.
Speaking by telephone from his private plane en route to San Francisco, he lamented that he has to pay for nundreds of off-duty law enforcement officers to help patrol the convention area and said that San Francisco needed to "re-fund" the police.
The city never actually "defunded" its police force, and San Francisco's violent crime rates are below those in many other U.S. cities.
But San Francisco has struggled to recruit and keep officers, and it still has problems with lower-level crimes and open-air drug use, especially in neighborhoods like the Tenderloin near City Hall. It has about 1,500 police officers, and Mr. Benioff says it ne → another thousand.

Important thing to know: Grand juries only hear one side of the story. The defense doesn’t cross examine witnesses or present a case. Good prosecutors are committed to the truth & doing justice. They don’t indict cases when the defendant can contradict their case.
