Jong-Fast: This would be the largest cut to food assistance in US history—and it will result in hungry kids.
It’s also important to mention that this bill grows the deficit. I don’t know how it manages to do the two things you absolutely don’t want—starve children and grow the deficit—but it does.

It’s not corruption unless it comes from the Corruption region of France, otherwise it’s just sparkling grift
Corruption requires explict quid pro quo. It is not corrupt to take an action that aligns with the interest of a person who gives you a gift, unless the official action was in direct response to that gift--a bribe. Terms matter. Accuracy and fairness matters. Regardless of what social media wants.

I need clarification. Five pencils a day? A week? A month? A semester? A school year? Also, have I been supplying pencils out of my own pocket and these kids have been sitting on 250 pencils each? Or is that how many are in their backpack after they “lose” mine daily? What is even happening?

Just got off the phone with Mrs Sicknick and just more slaps in the face with this settlement. She asked "why did my son die" (in response to all the whitewashing that is being done about January 6th) if it was a day of love, why is my son dead"

harrowing to witness the last generation of journalists unbeholden to mega corporations peace out before giving another inch to oligarchy. we will miss them when they’re gone.
And now, a note on Bill Owens who, until this past week, was the executive producer of 60 Minutes.
We’ll be back next week with another edition of 60 Minutes.

New from me @sfjournal.bsky.social. I find the link between Christian nationalism & authoritarianism extends to the home. Specifically, Christian nationalism predicts adults prioritizing kids' obedience over independent thought & hard spanking as the way to keep kids in line.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind.
An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one."
The other said, "Take him anyway."
So they did.

the best time to act with drastic urgency was January 7, 2021. the second best time is any day since then.
This is not so much a "constitutional crisis" as it is the constitution's epilogue.
