"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

I can’t not believe how hard it is to sleep when you’re watching your country, be dismantled by the dumbest people.

In the American system of government, a legislature of the people’s elected representatives decide how to allocate the people’s money, then an unelected appointee in the executive branch called “OMB Director” decides if he feels like distributing the people’s money that way or if he’d rather not.

I don’t need a message from Newsom. I came to that conclusion on my own. I suspect most of us did. It was based on listening to what Miller says, watching what he does, and understanding history.

I wish every Dem in Congress would stand up in a body & denounce in unvarnished English what's really going on which is that we're being perverted into a technologically weaponized Gestapo & if there's a Republican who has a conscience they'd be welcome too but I'm not holding my breath for that.

I just took a Tylenol and one of the side-effects was chronic curiosity about who else is in the Epstein Files. Ask your doctor if apprehending pedophiles is right for you.

A reminder that the Senate is controlled by Republicans (as is the House, White House, and Supreme Court), so any shutdown was caused by Republicans, and Republicans only.

“It is part of the price of leadership of this great and free nation to be the target of clever satirists . . . May we never grow so somber or self-important that we fail to appreciate the humor in our lives.”

It is not deportation if it is not their birth country.
Removal to a non-birth country is human trafficking.

Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia detained by ICE during Baltimore check-in
The detention, which was expected, happened after Abrego Garcia walked into the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in Baltimore for a check-in after being released from custody on Friday.
