Last week I’d never even heard of Charlie Kirk. The more I learn and become horrified by about him, the more I wish I never had. He was a provocateur, a hate-monger, a bigot, a misogynist, and an inciter of the violence that ultimately killed him. Why anyone reveres such a cretin is beyond me.

The thing about Johnson not swearing in Grijalva is that’s it a test for 2026.
If you think they will accept an outcome they don’t like, they will just Grijalva it.
So what’s the plan when the GOP says “we ain’t leaving, fuck you, make us.”
Because that IS what they are going to say.

So there were some AI-generated videos that purported to show Black women ranting about SNAP benefits, and... Fox News is reporting on this like these are real people. They're not! They're AI!

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.
Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.
