A reminder: the DOGE cuts that cost tens of thousands of people their jobs in the #dmv didn't have to happen. We are trillions of dollars in debt as a country *not* because of these highly educated and highly skilled government employees - but because of this criminally destructive Administration.

She knew abortion was illegal in Texas, but thought there was an exception for women like her, whose health was at risk. Doctors told her there was no emergency.

I just don’t think we’re freaking out enough about this SNAP cut. I have spent my whole career working with people who rely on SNAP for food. People who work multiple jobs. Who have kids. What do you think happens when 1/8th of the population can’t buy food anymore? Everything is going to collapse.

Wow: @ajc.com's Lautaro Grinspan reports that in just one week in October, ICE spent nearly $950,000 on ads in Atlanta — more spending than in any other U.S. city.
That amount would've been enough to provide SNAP benefits for over 20,000 Atlantans every month.

A quorum in the House is 218. The dems have 213. If they get 6 reps to join them they can convene the House, depose Johnson and seat Grijalva. Then they can pass a budget, save Medicare and the ACA, pay SNAP, and release the epstein files.

Inside the Trump family’s global crypto cash machine
The U.S. president’s family raked in more than $800 million from sales of crypto assets in the first half of 2025 alone, a Reuters examination found, on top of potentially billions more in unrealized “on paper” gains. Much of that cash came from foreign sources as Donald Trump's sons touted their business on an international investor roadshow.
