Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Clearly, nostalgia for a time when there were no billionaires, a far more unionized workforce, a top marginal tax rate of 92%, and an electorate that wouldn’t even vote for a dogcatcher who was a twice-divorced open philanderer who used profanity in public.

So yesterday a reporter asked Donald Trump about the writ of habeas corpus, and he had no idea what it was.
"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."
Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:
"I don't know," he said. "I'd rather leave that to Kristi."
Well, It turns out Sen. Hassan asked Kristi Noem about it in May, and this was Noem's response:
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country
HASSAN: That's incorrect
NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

North Carolina gerrymandered its state for the 2024 election-giving Republicans a majority in the House
They used it to pass Trump’s Big Ugly Bill
In return, he refused to release $100 million in funds pre-approved to help NC victims of Hurricane Helene

This guy is too much of a chicken to stand up publicly to a guy who he privately described as a "moral disaster" or to defend his own wife's honor from a punk who works for Elon and said we should "normalize Indian hate". Obsequious, snivelling, Vancely cowardice is the opposite of masculinity.
JD Vance: "Our culture sends a message to young men that you should suppress every masculine urge ... my message to young men is don't allow this broken culture to send you a message that you're a bad person bc you're a man, bc you like to tell a joke, bc you like to have a beer with your friends."
