If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with Trump in bringing back “gay conversion therapy.”
This practice involves physically abusing teenagers to try to turn them heterosexual, including with electric shocks and chemically-induced nausea.

Oh look the party that screams “family values” every five minutes is silent when one of their megachurch darlings pleads guilty to child sex abuse. But they’ll trip over themselves to ban books and attack drag shows. Tells you everything you need to know.

You can joke about Pam Bondi’s ridiculous unprofessionalism all you want, but I’m deeply shocked by it: She acts as if she fears absolutely no consequences, convinced that there will be no more political power transfers. — This should shake everyone to their core.

Oracle, the tech company Larry Ellison co-founded and still owns, is among the investors in the newly formulated U.S. version of TikTok. The database billionaire and his son are Trump favorites. The family could soon control an empire that includes CBS, Paramount, Warner, CNN and a piece of TikTok.

Phang: Trump can get up and be an absolute fucking embarrassment and humiliate our country by saying the dumbest lies in front of the UN… and others can get up and say horrific things about people, and they can have free speech. But we can’t? That’s not how the First Amendment works.

It doesn’t matter if you call it “cancel culture” or “consequence culture.” What matters is that the heavy hand of the government is being used to intimidate media corporations that are looking for regulatory favors. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/18/s...
When Did Cancel Culture Become ‘Consequence Culture’?

BRUTAL JOBS REPORT: Just 22,000 jobs added in August. Unemployment rises to 4.3%. Broader jobless rate jumps to 8.1%. Slowest 4-month growth since 2020. Plus, downward revisions for June and July of -21,000. Yikes.

I’ve spent a good chunk of my career relying on American science and engineering to keep me alive. Yesterday, RFK Jr. testified at the U.S. Senate Finance Committee. It was sad to see him try to destroy the life’s work of so many American scientists. He shouldn’t be in this job.

Didn’t even wait for a break. Playing the market on the taxpayers’ time…pure abuse of power.
