Who would ever voluntarily choose to live under the demented monarchical plutocracy our Supreme Court is creating for Trump? How is this a remotely rational way to structure a government?

My opinion of ACIP from yesterday has been supported by what I’ve seen so far today.

ACIP in its current form is not a legitimate scientific body.

It is an epidemiological crime scene.

Mapache or Raccoon? Both are great words for the kind of relatable mammal that, like many of us humans, doesn’t know their limit.

Anyone communicating that the GOP doesn’t care about SNAP, needs to go straight to lawmaker (r) Clay Higgins’ quote that SNAP recipients should “stop smoking crack.” Instead of a meal, Higgins is dishing out pure hatred. It leaves no doubt where the GOP stands.

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

The courts had to step in and tell Donald Trump to feed the people. Let that sink in.

He was perfectly fine letting millions of Americans go hungry—in the middle of a shutdown that Republicans created.

Do what the judge said, Donald. Release the funds and stop playing with folks’ livelihoods.

emerging reports about possibly imminent US military attack on venezuela. there can be no doubt about it, certainly not in the coverage: such an attack would be an act of aggression, lacking any basis in international law. we'll get sophistic arguments about self-defense but none will be legit.

Government dysfunction is set to add unprecedented stress to US society. The article suggests there are mechanisms to keep SNAP going, but the majority party, republicans, won’t do enough.
