Every year I panic when there’s way too much left by 7 PM and nobody’s coming around anymore, and every year at 7:30 I panic that there won’t be enough.

i just need people to know it's not hypocrisy when Devout Christian Mike Johnson cuts off SNAP benefits. it's not a lack of "christian charity" to make kids starve; it's because the christian right wants to control who gets food, through churches, so they can deny queers and sluts at will

One in eight Americans relying on SNAP is a wild number. We are not good at being a livable country, friends.
While the current government shutdown is only the second-longest in history, November 2025 is set to be the first time the USDA has declined to issue SNAP benefits — which one in eight Americans rely on to pay for groceries — during a shutdown.

i am seriously begging democrats to bring the same smoke to this story that they brought to jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended
More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

There was significantly less political violence in America prior to the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign.
We all know why.
That doesn’t change that what happened today—in both Utah and Colorado—were tragedies.
It simply underscores that revisionist history isn’t going to solve America's problems.

I'm horrified to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot at an event in Utah.
Democratic societies will always have political disagreements, but we must never allow America to become a country that confronts those disagreements with violence.
Mark and I are praying for Charlie's recovery.

I don’t even know how to process how much harm this is going to do.
This undersells what insurance exchange policyholders will feel if Congress doesn't act. The 18 percent increase is on the raw cost of insurance. But many will also lose enhanced subsidies that expire at the end of December. Those people will feel an average increase of *more than 75%.*

James Dobson dying is a staring into the middle distance type of event. You have likely directly suffered bc of him. Few have done more to harm humanity at large in the past few decades. A principal architect of our current nightmare. No redeeming aspect. He was a rat made entirely out of plague.
