Trump is doubling down on his illegal SNAP shutdown.
This is an immoral White House that cares more about ballrooms, costume parties, and bailouts for foreign buddies than families in need or following the Constitution.

I spent more than a decade at The Post. It was good to me and I was proud to work there. I’ve largely refrained from being critical since I left. But this framing of the special counsel probe is embarrassing and flatly wrong. Stunning, but not. www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

Saw @npr.org asking for donations yesterday and thought about donating, but wanted to look into whether they're still normalizing the Trump administration as it continues its ongoing destruction of the Constitution. That question's been answered. They'll never see a fucking dime from me.
As President Trump ramps up efforts to send federal officers and troops into cities, criminologists are watching closely. Are the feds doing this in a smart way?
