Here’s my my pitch for why you care about your state attorney general.

The entire conservative judicial machine *depends* on conservative state attorney generals.

John Roberts can’t take a case asking to destroy voting rights if a state attorney generals doesn’t bring it.

Despite two separate courts ruling Friday that the Trump administration must fund SNAP amid the government shutdown, the president said his lawyers don't think the orders are legal and will need to look into it more.

When he gives interviews on the plane like this, it always looks to me like he’s in the john and just poking his head out for some quick comments between shits.

(Also, what a fucking idiot.)
Trump on Mark Carney: "He apologized for what they did with the commercial. Because it was a false commercial. It was the exact opposite. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs. And he did apologize."
I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it again: the man is a tacky bitch
Trump won’t stop posting about the bathroom!
Listen, I know this show isn’t, y’know, *good* by any serious metric, but. When you need some silliness to dull the horrors of the world, the episodes are there on your dvr, waiting to embrace you. This is some rank BULLSHIT.

“Ah yes, the good old days when people were dying by the thousands, what a golden age. But now I’m ready to get back to reality where I have to pay 30% of my income for health insurance so that I don’t die personally”

This is a very good, albeit sobering, piece. So much—if not all—of what we’re facing right now comes down to exactly these ideas.
This is the most succinct, and accurate, summary of the battle we're fighting in America & around the world: it is feudalism vs. democracy, and feudalism is currently winning. @brockm.bsky.social captures the whole thing, and it should be required reading. www.notesfromthecircus.com/p/the-coming...

This is guaranteed to happen. And they will post a "TRUMP SAVED YOUR SNAP BENEFITS" message when you log on to the site.
Mark this down:

On Monday, Trump will announce that he "saved" the SNAP program and people will get their food stamps for November. Republicans will claim that Democrats wanted people to starve but Trump made sure it didn't happen. The media will go along with them.
In addition to being wrong and horrifying, the DOJ indicting her is such a profound tactical error because she is going to come out swinging and make sure EVERYONE hears about what they’re trying to do here.

🧵Thread of cafes, restaurants, bars, bagel joints, etc offering free meals to SNAP recipients, for those who might need it, & so those who don't can give 'em their business.

If you know of such offers in your area & don't see them here, please tell us in @'s.

Here's one! toastedseattle.com
I realize this may be partly due to the emotional strain of my stupid ongoing illness, but goddamn, I feel like I might snap at any moment over how fucking awful everything is. Just— everything. I hate it. Dig a hole and throw me in.

Sorry native-borns, now that ANYONE can have their actual birth certificate cancelled by a cellphone photo taken on a busy street... Do you still think this is about the immigrants who are murderers and rapists?
New incredible detail here: ICE says a match in its facial recognition app Mobile Fortify is a "definitive" determination of a person's status, and that this overrides birth certificates. This is an app ICE is using in the field to scan people
