Trump and Republicans have steered America to a place where air travel is increasingly dangerous, the struggling are denied food, Congress is gridlocked, the FBI is compromised, medical research is stymied and citizens are angrily set off against one another. God damn them.

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion.
Trump refuses to spend it on the American people.
The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina.
Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?
TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is
O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

Off baseball for a minute.
Two years ago, my dad nearly died fighting off two kinds of blood cancer. He did a stem cell transplant (with me). It was a long, difficult, at times, heartbreaking process, but he was cured. He wrote a memoir on it here

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

If you're a Republican living in a blue state, Trump hates you. He will punish you and your neighbors by cancelling funds and programs like disaster aid even if you voted for him. So why would you ever continue to support him? As I said, he hates you.

The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.
