It's a special Election Day bulletin: Trump threatens SNAP, rage-posts about Prop 50, and endorses Cuomo while Marge torches her own party on The View. Meanwhile, it appears voters have turned on Trump. And we're just getting started... Catch up now:
Today in Politics, Bulletin 243. 11/4/25
… With a 37% approval rating and bad election results looming tonight, Trump spent the day making a series of unhinged maniacal posts on Truth Social.

Pulled over to the side of the road just to look at this beautiful view. Almost forgot to take the picture as I felt compelled to just stare into the sky. Life is so wow, yet humans are so determined to add such ugliness.

Let's uphold both democracy AND human decency.

Human decency means that we actively and peacefully oppose cruelty. Dehumanization based on race, ethnicity, gender, economic class, orientation, religion, citizenship status, or national origin is unacceptable.

And they’ve already rolled back the plan, if it was ever actually one to begin with. Stop worrying about headlines based on leaks that wouldn’t really change anything even if they turned out to be true. There are actually problematic things, impacting claim processing, happening right now.
