Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

NYC elected a great mayor? Boston just RE-elected a great mayor.
It got drowned out in all the good news from last night, but Boston Mayor Michelle Wu became the youngest person to be reelected in the city's history.
She ran unopposed because her opponent--Patriots owner Bob Kraft's son--withdrew a few months ago after realizing he had no hope of winning.

Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, who in her first term transformed from a progressive leader in local politics into an ascending figure of the national Democratic opposition, officially claimed a second term, the decisive end to a campaign that cemented her dominance in city politics.
Boston Mayor Michelle Wu officially claims second term, cementing dominance in city - The Boston Globe
Mayor Michelle Wu ran unopposed, presiding unchallenged over Boston politics after a year in which it seemed her true political opposition was President Trump.

Exactly. This trend is not accidental or incidental.
And it needs to be looked at across the board, regardless of education, income, etc. Too many brothers not even making it to retirement age. Loss for families and community.
Probably several causes with systemic racism at the root.
Warren facilitated this discussion last year. A real good guy.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.
They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.
They’re refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.

Sorry this has really got under my skin. When threatening mobs turn up in villages they are most often in uniform representing a demented state, such as the Nazi murderers systematically eliminating Jews hundreds at a time in Polish villages and small towns.

Sometimes I feel like only people who grew up in LA should be allowed to professionally review works about LA
Like, I recently read a book “about LA” that was universally praised by New York media, and it was one of the worst books I’ve read in a long time

It sucks that when I read “Al” I assume it’s “AI” and not “Al.”
I always get drawn back to Al Gore telling voters that he’d only raise taxes on the top 1% and then after the election a poll showed that something like 20% of voters thought they were in the top 1% and another 20% thought they would be in the next five years. Just a total tragic disconnect.
Maaaaan, this. So much this. Every time there's any kind of actual in-depth survey we find that the American people are *abysmally* ignorant about even the most basic political facts, but the pundit class just immediately forgets & proceeds with political analysis based on subtle policy differences.
