Where is everyone donating to ensure people don't starve during the SNAP benefit cut? Are there organizations better/more efficient than others in terms of distribution and ease of access for those who need it?

In am effort to distract myself from...all this... I've been diving headlong into reading, and in the last two weeks have run through nearly the entirety of the #dungeoncrawlercarl books. I don't think I've ever read 2000ish pages in as short a time frame. #donutholes all the way!

You know, I didn't think I could be shocked by anything else this admin does, but. The Qataris are building an air force base in Idaho. Did not have foreign military bases on the continental 48 on my 2025 bingo card.

I’ve been in New York riding the subway with my seven month old daughter for the past several days and I feel much safer doing that than pushing her stroller across a busy street in most of the rest of the country or taking her in a car on the freeway.
Sean Duffy on Fox: "It's dangerous to ride the subway in New York ... it's just stupid liberals with stupid policies that impact the lives of New Yorkers"

When Joe Biden referred to "shylocks" in 2014, the ADL admonished him. I look forward to seeing the group similarly criticize President Trump for using the term today.

As a reminder, slavery led to the first Civil War. The South, as usual, pro using detention labor as free farm labor, the North, as usual, looking down on the despicables with shame. Let's see where we go from here.
This is an absolutely fascinating concept.
There's also another remedy that civil rights lawyers should be looking at to address the oncoming, supercharged ICE misconduct: the Federal Tort Claims Act.

There will now be 10,000 new ICE agents & 100,000 new detention beds--and few safeguards protecting people from constitutional violations by the feds.
Time for states to pass laws allowing people to sue fed agents. Read about it these "converse-1983" statutes here: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers....

Because we eat our own, while Rs back the lowest common denominator? Because the ancient leadership pushed him to run again because they don't want to acknowledge their own aging problem?
Ultimately the DNC scammed and scarred a good, kind man because they're selfish pricks. And we let them. Shame.

How was Joe Biden forced out of a presidential race for a disastrous debate and for looking frail and for confusing names, but this man, one of the most ignorant men to ever be elected to any office, allowed to continue on as president and treated as a normal, serious leader??

At this point, anything further they release is completely untrustworthy. They've demonstrated their willingness to engage in manipulation and cover up, and I would suspect anything they voluntarily release.
That would be the right approach for a government whose lodestar were the national interest, as opposed to a government whose principal objective is to salve the delicate ego of the pathological narcissist who leads it.

what’s funny is that if pro-cuomo centrist democrats were less myopic they might see that mamdani was running the kind of campaign that could help rebuild the party brand — accessible with an outsider persona and a focus on “kitchen table” issues.

I'm not clear who lied to him when, prior to 6 months ago, the government was clearly telling everyone to get the vaccines. All medical professionals, scientists, and society as a whole were telling him this. He and his kids weren't born in the last 6 months. Take ownership of your incompetence.
“I feel like I’m dying”
“I feel like I’ve been lied to”
The words of an anti-vax chiropractor who become seriously ill with measles and spread it to his kids, who then also became seriously ill. All four kids were hospitalized.
You *were* lied to. And you wanted to believe that lie.
