Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

America won’t collapse from invasion. I’ve been saying it for years. It’ll collapse from the inside. Under the weight of corrupt greed, racism disguised as patriotism, and the refusal to evolve by holding on to privilege and power instead of prioritising equality and liberty.

This is correct. To the extent there is an actual "antifa" it is a loose network of anarchist collectives that have no meaningful funding or "traditional" organizational infrastructure.
This is about scaring rich people and foundations away from supporting any activism that actually works

This isn't about antifa, this is about the NGO's. The goal here is to eliminate philanthropic support to major liberal groups through intimidation. They're going to starve liberal groups of funding while hitting them with millions in legal fees from investigations.

SCOOP — Part of the reason Disney/ABC may have rushed to sort things out with Kimmel is because tomorrow they have a planned price increase for Disney+ streaming, a Disney source tells me. With subscriptions hemorrhaging since last week, they couldn’t risk losing more users with this announcement.

The White House initially claimed Trump stopped being friends with sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein because Epstein was "a creep."
But Trump himself now says it was because Epstein "stole" female spa workers from him, including rape victim Virginia Giuffre.

This guy has been a key part of an Ohio GOP that has defunded local police and other first responders for a generation, all to pay for tax cuts at the top
Those years of defunding have led to police officer and other layoffs, and staffing shortages, across the state—in small towns & big cities.
