Trump went to the Supreme Court twice to stop food aid for 42 million Americans.

Federal judges kept blocking his attempts, so he escalated to the Supreme Court. He threatened states that gave out benefits anyway, demanding they take back money from families who'd already bought groceries. (more)

They're not hiding the lies anymore.

The White House announced that there have been ZERO illegal border crossings for six months while their own DHS reports over 30,000 encounters in October alone. And how would they know if there was a successful illegal crossing anyway?

The shutdown in the Republican-controlled federal government continues to expose systemic problems including millions of hungry people missing food aid and a severely compromised air transportation system.

Systems crack, splinter, then fall apart, and we're somewhere in the middle of that. (more)

JD Vance called a federal judge's order absurd tonight.

That judge had ordered SNAP payments be sent to 42 million Americans who receive food aid. The White House said it would fund partial payments, and the judge countered today that his order wasn't optional. (more at website)

Tuesday is Election Day and our chance to begin restoring the norms we once lived under.

In the less than ten months since he's taken office, Donald Trump ordered attacks on 16 unarmed boats near South America that killed dozens of people. (more at website)

Expect Trump to continue using multiple distractions to avoid the humanitarian crisis we face.

One of every eight people has lost federal food aid while 5.9 million households are losing home heating aid just as we reach November. (more at website)

Donors and power grabs take precedence in Donald Trump's world.

Just one day after the UN condemned the US for attacking boats and killing people, the Trump administration announced a brand new attack. They even had an attorney tell Congress that it didn't need their authority to do so. (more)

The United Nations condemned the U.S. today for 14 separate boat attacks that have killed 61 people.

The High Commissioner for Human Rights made that announcement before SNAP’s food aid benefits for one of every 8 Americans were set to go unfunded by the federal government. (more at website)

Trump isn't hiding the machine being built.

Military orders today established a unit of nearly 25,000 troops to deploy as Quick Reaction Forces with a presence in each state for supposed unrest.

Trump plays by dangerous rules.

Today he ordered nuclear weapons testing to resume after 33 years. His military has killed 61 people on boats over the past month without trials or evidence. And he's defending Israeli airstrikes that killed 104 Palestinians while claiming the (more at website)

Trump is still in Asia, ignoring suffering and death at home.

Louisiana's Surgeon General banned vaccine events after two infants died from whooping cough. Anti-vaccine ideology matters more than dead babies. (more at website)

House Republicans have abandoned America in a time of dire need.

Three crises are building. Insurance premiums doubling, food aid running out, and Trump deploying the world's largest aircraft carrier to Venezuela's coast after they accused the U.S. of plotting false-flag attacks. (more at website)

Forty-two million Americans lose food aid in five days.

Trump is using their hunger as a bargaining chip to force Democrats to cave on healthcare. Democrats shut down the government October 1 over spiraling ACA costs. Republicans won't even talk until Democrats vote first and give up leverage.

Trump performed as global peacemaker today while his agents deployed chemical weapons in American neighborhoods for the fourth time this week.

A man fleeing ICE after a traffic stop in Virginia ran onto I-264 and was struck and killed by a vehicle. (more on the website)

The fuses Donald Trump lit are burning as he flies to Asia for a week.

Forty-two million Americans depend on food stamps to eat, and the Trump administration refused today to use emergency funds to keep benefits flowing as the shutdown continues. (more at website)

The food crisis is real and about to get much worse.

California and New Mexico are the latest states warning about their inability to meet demand now that they've been cut off from federal funding. That's millions in California and one out of every five New Mexicans. (more at website)

💰 Donald Trump is looting America, but his own party is feeling the heat.

He now says that he'll decide whether taxpayers pay him $230 million for being investigated, claiming the decision "would have to go across my desk." (more at website)

The pain is about to get very bad for a lot of people.

Food benefits and Head Start programs are quickly running out of money. Pennsylvania already said they have no funding for SNAP in November. Federal employees are missing checks. (more at website)
