NEW: Washington may have folded to Trump, but there is one powerful, underused tool that could stop him: collective state action. By pooling resources, harmonizing policies and coordinating responses, states can help build a future worth fighting for, @gabygoldstein.bsky.social writes.

SNAP crap red hat claptrap.
Requiring eveyone currently receiving SNAP to reapply is ridiculous since recipients recertify eligibility periodically.
Kicking people off is the point, not finding “waste, fraud and abuse”…like the waste of admin wok to process re-enrollments for 42mil people...

For @msmagazine.com, I wrote about the WNBA and the issue of pay equity. By the time the WNBA was only two seasons in (1999-2000) the average NBA salary was 58 times higher than the average WNBA salary. Twenty-six years later, the gap has jumped to 116 times higher.

Charlotte is seeing the same playbook we saw in L.A.: raids that target faces and accents, not criminals. And the only thing it accomplishes is spreading fear through hard working immigrant communities.

ICEstapo detained 81 people in Charlotte, NC yesterday.
The internet is littered with videos of them using excessive force and ignoring legal documentation provided by the detainees.
Here’s my advice for ICEstapo:
Take a night off.
Go to the movies.
Watch “Nuremberg”.
Your time is coming.

They claim they have nothing to hide, but the way they keep dodging deadlines and slow-walking subpoenas says otherwise…
Tomorrow’s vote is about forcing the transparency the American people should’ve had months ago.
Have no doubt: I’ll be voting YES.

Let’s be clear: The DOJ has already been subpoenaed. They’re legally obligated to release the full Epstein files—and they’re still dragging their feet.
It’s a shame we’ve even gotten to the point of needing a discharge petition.

If Trump claims he wants Republicans to vote to release the files now because he has nothing to hide, why doesn’t he just release the files today? Why did he order his AG many months ago not to release them? Why did he threaten Rs who signed the petition?
