This is some pretty righteous passing of the buck from House members who have voted in lockstep with every terrible policy that has come before them. The White House is in a separate branch of government.
PUNCHBOWL: “.. GOP members messaged us over the weekend saying that they, too, are considering retiring in the middle of the term. Here’s one particularly exercised senior House Republican:

I don't understand how anyone can watch how blatantly Grok is manipulated to answer the way ownership desires it to and then act like the other LLM chatbots couldn't possibly be similarly but less obviously compromised to produce responses in whatever way corporate interests and priorities dictate.

TRUMP [after spending 5 minutes with Zohran]: surplus value, it’s a very wonderful thing, very wonderful, and they’re stealing it. Can you believe that?
We’re going to be looking very strongly at the bourgeoisie, what they’re up to

It's incredibly hard to fight hunger when you have a President that's actively taking food away from kids, seniors, and working families.
This is what cruelty looks like.

SNAP is back, but millions of Americans could lose benefits due to new restrictions
Just as SNAP benefits were reinstated for millions of Americans following the reopening of the federal government, many are now set to permanently lose them.

The crisis remains.
Even as SNAP benefits are restored, food banks and pantries around the nation continue to feel the strain with no reprieve in sight. n.pr/4oOIUEl
Food banks, already strained, brace for prolonged demand

Looking forward to the Atlantic thinkpiece saying presidents calling for their colleagues’ murders is normal and fine.
The mainstream media is the chief enabler of this gap, it's the frog that is now thoroughly boiled.

I haven’t trusted them in a very long time.
You certainly wouldn't trust your local cops or state police or local officials in ANY way, because they wouldn't be YOURS. And if they abuse you, you'd best shut up and take it. (See the part about "Courts"). You'd fear that every interaction would be an interaction with The State, the Regime.

1. If America were fascist right now, I would not be posting here. Neither would you.
Instead, I - and you - would be trying to build networks of people *offline* who can support and protect each other, in the dark, rather than yelling at the president and his stooges in our own names. /2

I’m trying more and more to make Bandcamp my default music app. It’s the only ethical platform out here.
Would be good if legit music streaming platforms would reject AI created music. Otherwise they become unusable for actual musicians and the people who want to hear their music.
The way it's working is AI music is spamming streaming platforms. Wonder if it's real people actually streaming the songs

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

THEY ARE BETRAYING EVERYONE RIGHT NOW AND YOURE NOT HOLDING THEM ACCOUNTABLE RIGHT NOW
1. We need to fight hard for a good ACA extension early in December and hold Republicans fiercely accountable if they betray everyone.

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.
