How Christ like Mike.
Speaker Mike Johnson is siding with the Trump administration’s decision to not tap emergency funds for food aid for 42 million Americans — who are slated to lose SNAP benefits on Saturday if the government shutdown continues.

How very Christ like of you Mike Johnson.
The Trump regime could tap into a $5 billion contingency fund to ensure people continue to be fed through SNAP.

They are refusing.

Republicans know the pain they’re causing to Americans—they do not care. The cruelty is the point.
Trump administration won't tap contingency fund to keep food aid flowing, memo says
The Trump administration says it won't use a roughly $5 billion contingency fund to keep food aid flowing in November amid the government shutdown.

I feel like I’m living in an alternate reality. For the life of me I can’t figure out why Trump still has between 43-45% approval. Who are these people & how does their thinking work?

NEW: North Carolina’s top elections official is asking the state's DMV for voters’ full Social Security numbers.

If the DMV agrees, it would give the state board unprecedented access to sensitive voter data — opening the door to mass voter purges and data breaches.

For those who don't know the statistics, there are fewer Republicans in North Carolina than Democrats. That is why it is so unfair that gerrymandering has produced 11 Republicans in the US House of Representatives and Democrats just 3.

Good morning.

Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism.

Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires.

People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

WSJ: “Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an ‘iron fist’, according to people who have heard the comments.

Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial.”
