What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Also Reform:
(Quite note: Despite tax rise, after spending dearly needed money on things like email repliers and flags, promised cuts will be delivered. To services)

Nottinghamshire Reform led County Council is spaffing £75,000 on new flags and flag poles... even as council tax is set to rise by almost 5%

Interesting what's not being reported isn't it? I wonder why. Reporting on some stories from BBC is absolutely appalling.

Underreported News Alert!

'In a city that's home to nine million people, Londoners are less likely (26.4 offences per 1,000 people) to be a victim of violent crime than people across the rest of England and Wales (31.9 offences per 1,000 people).'

‘London has turned into something crazy’: is the city in the grip of a crime wave?

Perception of runaway crime partly blamed for ‘driving away the super-rich’ but in reality some high-profile offences such as watch theft are falling

is it for the same reason that I can choose to call myself Daisy Duck so long as I'm not committing a crime through it eg fraud? Titles are meaningless, it's the money that we need to stop. That's the only language these folk understand. Hopefully, he's now seeking a real job

do they actually believe what comes out of their faces or is it just that they need Trump as a foil for their evil?

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.
