How - and I truly mean *how* is it possible to have lived through the DOGE failures and the "run government like a business" debacles, acknowledge the gross disinvestment in public sector workers, and then still go back to the old and tired "maybe if we privatize?" routine.

Almost everyone agrees that the US air traffic control system is broken.

Longstanding staffing shortages. Antiquated technology. And now, air traffic controllers are caught in the middle of a political tug of war that has nothing to do with their operations. https://cnn.it/47VlxSG

Big results in PA's Dauphin County, a swingy area that's home to Harrisburg.

Dems won judgeships in the county for first time in 33 years; one of winners is the first Black woman judge in county ever.

They beat the Republican DA who was looking to become a judge. www.pennlive.com/elections/20...

Teen Vogue has become a top-tier political journalism authority and doing this the day before election day is just cruel.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.

certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Today, 1 in 5 formerly incarcerated people is experiencing food insecurity. That's at least 1 million people nationwide.

We should be making it easier for vulnerable people to access healthy food, not harder.

I'd argue that JD is willing to criticize Usha's lack of Christianity for the same reason he's willing to vilify his family and community in Hillbilly Elegy: He's convinced himself that he was able to escape his humble origins--while others weren't--because he worked harder and had more faith.

-19% of SNAP users were 60 or older
-60% of SNAP benefits went to families with children
SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.

So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.
A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report.
Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

The government said they aren’t releasing SNAP benefits in November — but ALDI is helping families out. Their Thanksgiving meal bundle feeds 10 people for just $40! 🦃 Available now through Christmas Eve, it includes 21 items (like a 14-lb turkey + sides). Share this with everyone!
