Call your senators TODAY. This is absolutely insane. So many people have been helped by hemp products. They help with pain, mood disorders, alcohol overuse, so many things.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists.
They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Okay, so I did it. In honor of Sandwich Guy, on what should be the last day of his trial, I figured out the chords. And so, with apologies to the late and great Bob Marley, I banged out this quick and (very) rough rendition of "I Threw the Sandwich." 🤣

No it’s important to listen to this. Because then you understand that many of them will do ANYTHING to keep power. Remember Musk got involved in the 2024 election after saying to Tucker “if she wins” I am definitely going to prison.
So we need to move knowing that nothing is off the table for them.

Your taxpayer funded, fully paid, unauthorized vacation is over, Mike Johnson and Rump sycophants. Bring back the Congress, open the damn government, restore SNAP, restore the healthcare subsidies and swear in Rep. Adelita Grijalva. Do your jobs or resign.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

In the 2024 presidential election post-mortem, not enough emphasis has been put on what a turn-off it was for many voters that the Cheneys embraced Harris and Harris embraced them back. That was just gross. What constituency did she think she was appealing to with that?
