The amount of corruption in the White House is at unconscionable levels. We need some real serious ethics across the federal government.

Trump: "We'll never agree to give any substantial money or any money to prisoners, illegals. And I think the Democrats understand that. And it looks like we're getting close to the shutdown ending."

MAGA followers think everyone on Welfare and SNAP are people scamming the system,while realistically it is the working poor and a lot of our Military.All along turning a blind eye on the rich/ corporations.We must make sure when we vote it is for people who have OUR BEST interests not the wealthy.
The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

is it good or bad that the president of the united states is bragging about the difficulty of a test he took that started with identifying an elephant
Trump: AOC is low IQ. If you give her an IQ test, have her pass like the exams that I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. Those are very hard…
The first couple of questions are easy. A tiger, an elephant, a giraffe..

Trump screws his voters again: He just denied disaster aid to Maryland (while giving it to red states). But I took a look and it turns out the suffering Maryland counties are in Appalachia and backed him by 40 and 54 points.

Republicans have given up almost everything they said they believed in, like small government, lower deficits, morality, free trade, etc., but they are still firm on protecting a pedophile from the release of evidence about his crimes.

It does somehow sum everything up neatly. Trashy vulgarian unilaterally decides to tear up an iconic American building as though it’s one of his tacky private clubs, rather than a national monument he has very temporarily (and foolishly) been permitted to inhabit.
Not sure why this image is so shocking, given everything he’s done but: it’s shocking!

“They say they’re referring to me as a king. I’m not a king,” the president said days before posting an AI-generated video of himself piloting a plane labeled “King Trump” while wearing a crown and dumping excrement on protesters.

Thought I would dip my toes back into Boston's "98.5 The Sports Hub" talk-radio waters after tuning-out 2 yrs ago when they played politcal ads. I wanted to hear some good Patriots talk today. Then I just heard an ICE recruiting ad. I know y'all need to pay the bills, but that's just gross. #NoKings

I know Donald Trump is a pathological liar, malignant narcissistic sociopath, racist, antisemite, misogynist, xenophobe, homophobe, transphobe, hater of our troops and believer in euthanizing folks with disabilities, but we too often forget that he's *also* an adjudicated rapist and convicted felon.

For at least 9 years, I have thought the D Party as a whole is as dumb as the people who should be voting for them and don’t.
Trump is doing what has been the unthinkable in the United States of America. Demcrats still won't stand up to him with even daily fact checking press briefings. WHAT will it take for them to even stand up to Schumer and demand he step out of the way and facilitate the briefings?

Moonrise over Logan tonight. Full moon is technically tonight, but it happens just 12 minutes before midnight. So tomorrow night's 99% illumination will be practically identical, just on the other side of sunset.
This was at 6:07pm - about 5 minutes before sunset and 12 minutes after the moon rose.
