Clearing the debris after the storm.

Here is a box of gemstones from Tyler:
Well there also needs to be an entire new enrollment period as well so if the subsidies are renewed that people have a chance to pick a plan they want and can afford that’s going to put a lot of strain on the system where prices have been set and notices sent already. Huge chaos for nothing.

A confused Trump is a happy Trump.

. . . it seems.

Say, Trump, release the Epstein Files. The truth will set you free. And you in particular might find it fascinating reading.

Democrats, Independents, and, likely some MAGA GOP voted for course-correction in last Tuesday's election. Here's hoping you have not forgotten already, Mr. Leader.

If GOP Senate want to talk 'long term fixes,' then take your notes before the CR vote, and nix the shadow docket approach. Que pasa?
If Republicans want to talk about long-term fixes to ACA affordability, Democrats are ready.

But in the meantime, doing nothing is derelict. People will go bankrupt, people will lose insurance, and people will get sicker.

Republicans cannot continue doing nothing.

This is a good Q.

I haven't seen a good answer, just yet, so . . .

We ask again, in Mr Cooper's words:
Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Steve Bannon, speaking as from experience.

MAGA GOP are a criminal enterprise.

Have the FBI been notified?

Kash?

Bueller?
Holy crap! Please vote!!!

"Has there ever been a weaker Squeaker of the House than Mike Johnson . . . ?" Where does he find the strength each day, just to pick up the phone?

He claims no knowledge of current events and doesn't know what is going on. Congress is led by a blind vole. Hey Mike, get some new glasses and see.
Has there ever been a weaker Speaker of the House than Mike Johnson, who just picks up the phone each day, says ‘yes sir’ a bunch of times, then hangs up and does what he’s told? Which is do nothing and lie constantly.

Congratulations to Democratic candidate Deb Krishnadasan, winner in a $4 million corporate attempt to flip a State Senate seat.

Reposting to boost her profile.
Maybe not as high profile as some of the other wins, but it was just announced that the Democrat candidate, Deb Krishnadasan, won a ridiculously tight Senate race in my Washington State district. : )

Baby needs changing.

Also: Trump is full of it, and . . . are you hiding your Epstein Files in there somewhere?
Gavin Newsom is SO very clever! I have no idea which Dems will be running in 2028, but I definitely vote for him! Intelligent, hard working FOR his constituents, fair, charismatic, handsome, doesn't back down, clever, etc!

I LOVE how he turns trumps words & ai-BS around on him!

So, no course correction for MAGA GOP. Titanic mistake.

Hey, Mike Johnson: Get a pair of new glasses and read the room. You're looking at it thru the wrong end of the telescope.

Also, Agitated Blue Lady who checks her watch knows your time is up.
Mike Johnson: "What happened last night is blue states and blue cities voted blue. We all saw that coming. And no one should read too much into last night's election results."

Profile in courage. These are American values once written about, long ago, by a WWII PT Boat commander. Captain Dylan Blaha displays this courage. And the former author became a president of these United States. Persist, and we will see such days again.

There will soon be a 12 Step Program for those poor MAGAs who sold their souls to the ICE Devils.

MAGA congress and MAGA DOJ may require a Truth and Reconciliation Act.
It is easier to fight for your freedom while you have it then after you lose it.
Resist Donald Trump 🔥

A truth here, that bears repeating. Day to day battle of the culture wars should not obscure the haze of the future threat that is well presented here. With footnotes in history.
The renovations happening at the White House are because they never plan to relinquish power. #deconstruction #exvangelical #currentevents #news

Truth deserves a good thorough hearing. Reposting this.
their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more

that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

The United Nations Assembly is sending Mike Waltz back down to the kiddies table.

We used to be leaders of a free world; now we have to be told to stay in our lane.

Thanks, MAGA liars - NOT.
I didn't see this until this morning 😂🔥🫳

Congresswoman Melanie Stansbury is a smart, powerful speaker for New Mexico. And for all of us, and I would be proud to call her my representative.

Reposting her important message to echo her excellence in all our citizen's advocacy.

Hey MAGA GOP, this is not a good look. Your massive fear and loathing make you look extremely weak.

There is much strength in truth, and truth will set you free.

Unburden yourselves and rejoice in the moral glow of release.
Swear her in. Release the Epstein Files.

Why not just release the Epstein Files?

An extended general strike for living wages is now required in order to overcome GOP inspired social benefits like SNAP, that subsidize their business corporate profit margin.

Control mongers.

The people must take charge now that government has failed them so miserably.

Power is in the people.
Yes, elderly, children, disabled, too. What level of cruelty to play political games with the lives of over 40 million Americans who may go hungry.
There are military families that depend on SNAP benefits. Veterans, low-wage workers at places like Walmart and Amazon, too. But sure, Republicans, keep telling us the people who get them are just lazy and won’t work, while billionaire donors keep getting more tax cuts.
October 29, 2025 at 11:53 PM
Damn liars.
Administration also promised to release Epstein Files: more damn lies.

Geez, these guys are starting to lose credibility with me.
Johnson: Snap benefits is a unique situation. I got a summary of the legal analysis…the contingency funds are not legally available to cover the benefits right now

CNN, like the kept woman, just nibbles on sweetmeats and bonbons 'til she is needed to service her Trump master again.

Predictable like a bad soap opera.
CNN staffers were “taken aback” when the CEO suggested easing up on coverage of the East Wing’s demolition, just one day after his private White House meeting.

All working families who, relying on SNAP as a family supplement and lose their benefit, should then organize in a general strike against Corporate America for actual living wages that reflect a moral return for labor given.

MAGA GOP can't have it both ways.
October 27, 2025 at 4:48 PM
They're coming out early, Katie.

The Monsters.

The Monsters are out early for Halloween.
Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Don't forget to vote this time; if it is allowed.

drharmony.net: "They are murdering innocent fisherman in the Caribbean"

Testing for Trump loyalty among military personnel. Those who do, become complicit and also become manipulable.

Organized Crime: Once you are on the inside, you can never go home again.

RIP Posse Comitatus
They are murdering innocent fisherman in the Caribbean. Fentanyl is not made in Venezuela or Columbia.

They admitted on 60 minutes there has been a profitable occupation plan for GAZA for over two years.

They are disappearing innocent Americans and immigrants off the street.
