Worth thinking and regularly asking about.

And it is probably the first time in US history, the SCOTUS does exactly what they are told and paid to do!
In my entire life, I've never seen any President actively ask the Supreme Court to intervene so that they don't have to feed hungry people.
It's truly obscene, I don't care what party or religion you belong to.
It's foul and inexcusable.

This piece is as good as people say it is. Read it to appreciate that writing isn't just about content, but style. AI can't do this.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving.
Except for, I don’t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, let’s also not forget the time that he:

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.
He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.
They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

Welcome to the United States of America 2025 version of inhumanity
WARNING: The violence and cruelty is hard to watch, but impossible for families to endure.
This is a sickening example of Trump and ICE's blatant disregard for humanity as they terrorize our families and communities.
It is shameful, cruel, and it must end.

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

There are many who dismiss our vision for New York as impossible. To them, I say we need look only to our past for proof of how we can shape the future.
Tomorrow is Election Day. And this is the final Until It's Done of our campaign.

Nothing looks as good as a hardworking Democrat for this country!
Trump and Republicans' govt shutdown and refusal to fully fund SNAP isn't just leaving families hungry.
It's also threatening the small businesses who feed them and destroying local economies.
Republicans must end their government shutdown NOW and keep our families fed.

Yesterday my mom shared this little ditty:
"Said the toe to the sock
'Let me through! Let me through!'
Said the sock to the toe
'I'll be DARNED if I do."
(Apparently she learned it from HER grandma.. and i can't believe i had to wait 62 years to hear it!)
What else you got, lady?😃
