Also, the agent claimed he could smell the onions and mustard on it.

For the record, it didn't have mustard.

My favorite part of the sandwich-thrower trial so far when the CBP agent testified that the sandwich "exploded all over him."

This statement was immediately followed by the defense showing a photo of the intact, still completely wrapped sandwich on the pavement.

Helluva explosion, huh?

Trump's "solution" for every crisis (that he usually creates himself) is to try to cause as much pain as possible for as many people as possible, until everyone caves to his whims.

Until we, as Americans, start giving him the middle finger to these tactics, the pain will only get worse.

A fact which seems to be getting overlooked:

It's not just individuals who get hurt by the loss of ACA subsidies. Employers losing ACA tax credits will have to pass on a greater share of costs to employees.

So yeah, even if you have healthcare through your job, you likely will still get screwed.

The KY Sec. of State even had to post something to tell people they had no elections in the state this year, and that Kentucky residents can't vote in out of state elections.

JD Vance was certainly a pudgy little kid while growing up on those SNAP benefits his family got.

Gee, ya wouldn't have been using any of that to buy "junk food" would ya?

IF they are loading it onto the current government SNAP cards, it won't do much good. They're shutting down the system that allows debits from them. This will prevent users from even accessing previously received benefits as well.

Repub cruelty knows no bounds.

If the Senate blows up the filibuster and reopens the government, how will this change anything that got us into this mess?

SNAP and ACA subsidies will still be reduced to almost nothing, and the pain for millions will continue.

Govt emps will get paid, but not much beyond that will be different.

The ACA is now 15 years old.

Isn't that well beyond the age where Trump likes to fuck things?

WTF?

SNAP funding ends tomorrow, November 1st, but apparently Trump doesn't think that will cause enough pain for the poor.

Yesterday, they shut down the system wherein people could use their SNAP cards to purchase food, such that folks couldn't access previously received benefits.

Unbelievable.

We HAD a free trade agreement with Canada.......right up until Trump decided to ignore it with his tariffs.

How about following THAT "previous agreement" and the rule of law?

With the government shutdown, including SNAP being shutdown and millions losing healthcare, this would be a damn fine time for Christian churches to maybe start doing Christian things*.

(*Classic Christian.........NOT Republican Christian)

Louisiana, one of the poorest states in the union, is spending $58M in tax dollars to pay off the contract of the LSU football coach whom they recently fired.

If that doesn't explain the southern mindset, nothing does.

Donald Trump has now officially slid down more polls than Melania has.
