Starting now: Press conference announcing a motion for a temporary restraining order challenging USDA's unlawful attempt to withhold SNAP benefits, featuring Attorneys General of CA, NY, MN, NJ and leaders from City Harvest, Food Action Research Center and No Kid Hungry.

Today SCOTUS did the right thing by denying review of a case that sought to challenge the freedom to marry for same-sex couples. It’s a major relief for so many in the LGBTQ+ community, who have seen relentless attacks on their dignity and equality in recent years.

Hey, a lot of people are talking about changing affiliation from Democratic to Independent.

Let me tell you why you shouldn’t do that in Colorado.

One of the main ways to get a primary challenge candidate on a ballot is to caucus for your party. You need to be registered as a Dem to caucus.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Oscar Isaac Was ‘Not So Open to Working With Disney’ After Jimmy Kimmel Suspension, Said He’d Return to ‘Star Wars’ if Disney Does ‘Not Succumb to Fascism’
Oscar Isaac was not open to working with Disney after Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and will only return to 'Star Wars' if the studio avoids fascism.

agreeing to make a terrible deal while your main opponent is quite literally being boo'd on live tv by an entire stadium of people is the kind of political instinct you'd normally only find in a 3 week old dead goldfish

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

🚨 We’re hearing that Senate Democrats are on the verge of caving to Trump in another “Schumer Surrender.”

That means your Democratic senators need to hear from you right now.

The memorial would be placed outside of the cemetery, since only the American Battle Monuments Commission can take decisions about the cemetery itself. The members of parliament also want to know if the government can help bring the panels back, calling their removal “indecent” and “unacceptable”.

Watching Trump personally hit you with the stick and him screaming that it's Chuck's fault is somehow now really connecting with the electorate.

I will also add:

I can do this for evictions in Illinois too, if SNAP benefits being cut off or the government shutdown means you can't make rent.
If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

This. It literally only takes one person having a bad day or not paying attention or with some kind of cognitive or mental health problem for this sort of thing to work. The problem is that somebody's going around doing fraud, not that somebody out there is "dumb" enough to "fall" for it.

The simple answer is "no."

The more direct and long-winded answer is "Eff you, make me."

The long-term answer is a generation of blue-no-matter-who, combined with holding our own party highly accountable with highly involved primaries.

50 year mortgage plus lowering life expectancy means this is basically, "What if there was a type of rent where the renter has to pay all the taxes, insurance, and repair fees?"

The idea of 50-year mortgages is bonkers. Someone tell the MAGA Christian nationalists that the practice of usury was condemned in their Bibles to protect the poor from being forced into permanent debt and was seen as a sin comparable to robbery or idolatry.
