Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Operation ICE Ride-Along isn’t going as planned. 🔥
Fox News tagged along with ICE, hoping for an exclusive look at “dangerous criminals.” Instead, they got a whole lot of nothing. No threats, no big arrests—just a community that wasn’t having it. The narrative is falling apart.

Do it!
Yes, this is what I'm talking about when I say "What would Mitch McConnell do?" This. Do this shit.
New York lawmakers are considering a change to the state's special elections law that would keep Rep. Elise Stefanik's House seat open for months, a move backed by Hakeem Jeffries as a way to deny Republicans’ already bare-bones House majority of a crucial vote.

This is a coup. Unelected, unvetted civilians are “shutting down” government agencies. That’s a fucking coup. Act like it.
“Musk, Trump and some Republican lawmakers have targeted the U.S. aid and development agency, which oversees humanitarian, development & security programs in some 120 countries, in increasingly strident terms, accusing it of promoting liberal causes.” Yeah, like survival.
