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.

Hi, I’m God.

Jesus and I agree that starving the poor so you can build yourself golden bathrooms and golden ballrooms is evil. Anyone who does that shall burn for eternity. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thanks,

God

I used to believe that I, a survivor of the Bush-Cheney era, would be dancing in the streets when that devil Cheney died. Yet today, as news of his demise spread, I couldn’t even muster a shrug, given the exponentially worse devil we now face.

I don’t believe in God. I’m in my 70s and have no remaining relatives. I believe this country cannot be repaired in my natural lifetime. Is there a reason I should keep on living?

When the President uses federal law enforcement for his personal revenge, it puts all of us in danger.

Just to be clear, I am anti-fascist, aka “antifa,” though I know of no organization carrying that banner. We fought WWII against fascists, and I expect EVERY decent American to continue to be anti-fascist.

I feel exactly the same way about Charlie Kirk as I do about that insurance executive murdered on the street: murder is always reprehensible, but sometimes murder victims are, too. These would be two examples.

Recalling how Trump suggested that Hillary Clinton be subjected to “Second Amendment rights.”

Very happy that my Senator Van Hollen and Senator Merkley are detailing the genocide that Netanyahu is perpetuating on the Palestinian people.
Today @merkley.senate.gov and I released a report on our recent trip to the Middle East.

Our inescapable conclusion: the Netanyahu government is engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Tune in as we discuss what we saw and where we go from here:

I agree this is a moment when we all need to work together in getting the temperature down, but that doesn't mean excusing hate speech. Charlie Kirk did not support free and open debate. He supported engaging in bad faith as a monetization strategy and otherwise suppressing free speech.

My senior community has its flags flying at half staff today, which makes me want to retch.

It’s a big show of being the bigger person, and look—that’s fine, but it’s a perfunctory gesture that everyone should briskly move past to do their actual jobs which is not sending thoughts and prayers.
Why are politicians giving Charlie Kirk fanfare and condolences. Who gives a shit?
This guy was a wet, rectal stain on society. I dunno why Obama and them have to recognize his shitty life
Why are we commemorating a Nazi as though he’s not a big reason we are barrelling towards Naziism. What fuckery

Three things you can do right now:

(1) Donate to candidates to flip House and Senate in 2026. Go to app.oath.vote for ranked suggestions of candidates

(2) Make big noise with Congress. Demand Dems start shrieking about ICE

(3) Donate to ACLU & NAACP civil rights litigation efforts
OATH

I’m fat. Very fat.

And yet, I think the most derisive nickname for the orange menace - the one that would stick to him like napalm and burn his skin - is Fatso. I wish everyone would use it (in this limited context only).

After every egregiously awful thing the Orange Menace does, I ask myself, “How would MAGA react if Obama had done it?”

It draws a stark line under MAGA’s racism and cult of personality.

Question: what does the word “refugee” mean as applied to South Africans who want to come to the US?

I’m thinking its white people wanting to get away from Black people.
