Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

In a late night Saturday memo, the Trump administration told states through the FDA on Sunday that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move meant to only add chaos and uncertainty.

Can’t get over how bad GOP shutdown messaging is. Voters already blame them, rightly so, and now Trump’s team is on TV admitting their shutdown will ruin the holidays for millions of American families.
Sean Duffy: "We have a number of people who want to get home for the holidays, they want to see their family. Listen, many of them are not going to be able to get on an airplane."

Ppl on this site insisted that Democrats focusing the shutdown fight on healthcare was stupid but here we are with Republicans willingly leaning in on trying to do the absolute most unpopular thing they did from Trumps first term all over again except dumber and even more unpopular

No ballistic evidence. No one hit. No injuries. No damage from gunfire. Local cops can’t find a “crime scene.” DHS claims shots were fired. I don’t believe them. chicago.suntimes.com/immigration/...

The Chicago Police Department responded to a call of shots fired at federal agents in the 2500 block of South Kedzie Avenue Saturday morning, police said.

Oh good. the 50-year mortgage. That should solve everything.

Another thing about Trump’s 50-year mortgage idea: a 30-year mortgage already sucks for regular people. It’s great for banks, awful for equity. A home is basically a forced savings account—stretching that out to 50 years is cartoonishly stupid and solves nothing.

Time after time, Homeland Security’s accounts of its violent incidents in Chicago turn out to be lies. Local journalists and a federal judge have done a good job of calling them out. I wish the national political media had the same level of skepticism toward “official” accounts by proven liars.
Judge blasts Trump’s Chicago border ‘Blitz,’ extends curbs on use of force that ‘shocks the conscience’
Judge Sara Ellis said Trump's Justice Department lacks credibility, partly because of a lie told by U.S. Border Patrol commander Gregory Bovino.

The world would be immensely better if more religions and their believers had even a tenth of the dedication the Sikhs do to doing good for people with no gatekeeping or expectations of anything other than "you are a fellow human in need and we can help you"
Folks, if you are hungry, please contact your local Sikh gurdwara. Or just show up for langar, which most gurdwaras do several times a week, for a free meal. Lots also do weekly or monthly drives giving out groceries.

No conversion necessary. Feeding anyone who is hungry is a key part of Sikhism.
A lady on TikTok has been calling churches pretending to be a mother with a baby who needs formula and several churches turned her away. But wouldn’t you know that when she called a Mosque (Islamic Center of Charlotte) they immediately said yes.

Sandwich verdict wasn’t jury nullification. It was failure to prove the required “reasonable fear of physical injury” in a case where the agent was wearing A BULLETPROOF VEST. The only crime was the waste of resources on this case. My thoughts in @MSNBCDaily.

Opinion | The sandwich thrower was wrong. But Jeanine Pirro was, too.
To establish a forcible assault, jurors were required to find that Dunn caused “reasonable apprehension of immediate bodily harm.” That allegation was laughable.
