Y’all the Trump administration does not intent to release the SNAP funds and we can’t even be confident they can accurately account for them.

Shaheen: "We've heard from a number of our colleagues on the other side of the aisle that they're willing to come to the table, they're willing to work with us once the govt is open to get this done. We've heard the same thing from the White House. So now we'll see if they're really gonna work w/us"

I missed this earlier today—Trump pardoned a retired cop who was acting as a Chinese agent? What the fuck? No way he even knows who this guy is or what he did. So who’s really calling the shots here?

I can't help noticing the Supreme Court conservatives expressing the first doubt of a Trump assertion in oral arguments the day after the election day where every Republican running lost by 20 points. But they would never be swayed by such worldly things in their consideration of The Law, right?

Someone has pointed out that this equates to $100 per US soldier.
In other words: they are still going without pay, and we should wonder what this bribe is really meant to pay for.

If I’m recalling correctly, Timothy Mellon was the only MAGA donor who surpassed Elon Musk in 2024. He dropped $50m on a pro-Trump super PAC the day after Trump was convicted of dozens of felonies last year. God only knows what that has bought him.
