A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

DO NOT CAVE!

The SCOTUS administrative stay is a terrible thing for 42 million Americans who are uncertain if they'll have food in November.

But make sure to blame the *real* villain: Convicted Felon Donald Trump. It was his decision to appeal in the first place.

Trump could just fully fund the SNAP benefits.

Portland has elevated protesting to an art form.

Last night on TME, @juliefrancella.com spoke with @johnfugelsang.bsky.social about why Native communities are speaking out against Hegseth’s decision on the Wounded Knee medals.

The shooter was the exact kind of extremist the GOP pretends doesn’t exist, while arming them to the teeth.

Hi, I'm Andrew Cuomo. I'm sorry I groped your mom and killed your grandma, but if you give me a fifteenth chance, I promise to throw you out of your apartment.

Stevie Van Zandt has been one of our greatest supporters. Grateful for his solidarity and for championing education that includes the real history of our First Peoples.

I’m sorry but I really have to stand up for myself and independent media here. Everyone is crediting Ken Delanian for the Maxwell sex offender waiver story, but I was hours ahead of him. Hours. Independent media is important.

@muellershewrote.bsky.social is everything OK today? I can’t find today’s episode of TheDailyBeans podcast on Apple Podcasts or the beans website. 😢

I’m telling you @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social, please watch this. This is the energy. Not egg prices and book tours and strongly worded letters. It’s time to take the gloves off.

Do you have any idea how insulting it is to firefighters and first responders who are risking their lives when you post things like ‘why aren’t they doing xyz!?’ They are doing everything in the power to save lives and fight these fires. The best thing to do right now is figure out ways to support.

An obvious point but one worth making: The same group of people who have spent years crying about fare evasion and pushing for criminalization of fare evasion are now advocating for and gloating about evading the congestion pricing fee. That’s also fare evasion. Pay your fares.
