The Sociopath-In-Chief couldn't be bothered to even turn his head in the direction of a man in the midst of a medical emergency who collapsed in his office. Completely incapable of empathy, the EPSTEIN Files can't be released soon enough.

Republicans have HATED the various forms of the Gateway Tunnel Project, from day one.

They have fought it all, from rebuilding the North River Tunnels, the bridges west of the Hudson, and the East River Tunnels.

Fuck around and find out what happens when the Northeast Corridor rots and fails.

I know you’re a bodybuilder, but use your noggin this time. Nearly half of those who receive food stamps work. Of the rest, most are over 65 or disabled. Wages are too low for tens of millions, and Social Security isn’t enough for many elderly.

So, Trump was on Air Force One attacking @aoc.bsky.social AOC and @crockett.house.gov Jasmine Crockett with the "low IQ" dog whistle yet again. I will say this: he hates smart women, especially women of color. And yet more bonus hate because they are lawmakers.

Hey, goddammit, CONGRESS was given power to spend funds from the treasury, NOT the president. What Trump is doing is ILLEGAL.

The concepts of "red lines" and "last straws" are akin to playing "just the tip." They are all saying "yes" without being explicit.

Every $1 invested in SNAP generates $1.80 in local economic activity. Without SNAP, that will mean a loss of $15 billion to the US economy just in November alone.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Stoermer is right:
Having hope or being in denial are not survival strategies. The constitution means and says what SCOTUS says, not what anyone else thinks it says.

Base strategies on decisions by SCOTUS assholes.

Proof: the Slaughterhouse Cases.

Trump's child like concept of religion. On the one hand, transactional: salvation coming from good works, not faith. On the other, God blessed America with oil, coal, and gas to sell, MILLIONS OF YRS AGO.

It is a simple matter of time before they dox all those masked ICE punks and also publish the unredacted Epstein files. Information moves like heat; it wants to be free.
