BREAKING: A federal court blocked the Trump-Vance administration’s attempt to cut off food assistance for 42 million people during the ongoing government shutdown.
We'll keep fighting to ensure that federal programs serve their lawful purpose: to help, not harm, people and communities.

Jamaica, in particular, will likely suffer catastrophic impacts from now rapidly-intensifying (but slow-moving) Hurricane #Melissa. A *Category 5* landfall now appears to be the most likely outcome, & 30-40+ inches of *additional* rain in mountains will lead to extreme flooding.

Speaker Johnson should be removed for violating the Constitutional rights of AZ-2, and by extension the rights of all Americans by keeping the House adjourned. The People have business to attend to! Administrate the oath and let all go on record on releasing the Epstein files!

Whistling when ICE is about to kidnap someone for no reason is incredibly effective. They know what they are doing is wrong and will scatter in the wind when too many witnesses gather.
