Lifted off food stamps? Trump and Republicans RIPPED food assistance away from millions of Americans to pay for giant tax giveaways for billionaires.

Trump: "Under our leadership, 5 million people have been lifted off food stamps just in a short period of time"

For two years, Mike Johnson refused to hang the plaque on the wall honoring police officers who defended the Capitol on J6 against a mob of violent rioters, even though a law was passed to mandate it. But he supports paying over a billion dollars to the criminal rioters.

There is so much poetry in Stephen Colbert celebrating his finale on the exact stage where the Beatles changed culture in 1964. Singing "Hello Goodbye" surrounded by his family, his band, and his crew before Paul McCartney flipped the final power switch. This was the perfect full-circle goodbye!

August 18, 1920: Women won the right to vote. August 18, 2025: That right is under attack. From gerrymandering congressional seats to banning mail-in ballots, Trump and Republicans are trying to silence us. We will not go back. Our fight continues. #VotingRights #WePersist

Because of this administration's attacks on immigrants, over 200 JBS employees in Ottumwa have lost their visas and now face deportation. Immigrants are part of our working class family. We can't turn our backs and remain silent as our neighbors and their families are torn apart - enough is enough!

A Black women, elected by her constituents is literally being held hostage for refusing to be policed by an opponents. Let that sink in. @angelarye.bsky.social interview with Rep Collier: m.youtube.com/watch?v=hFrD...

m.youtube.comTexas Rep held HOSTAGE on the House Floor!YouTube video by Native Land Pod

As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous. Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.

Collier: I refused to sign and so I was told that I was gonna have to stay here on the floor. They have locked the doors. The sergeants have been instructed not to allow me to leave until I have a permission slip.

This is EXACTLY what was needed and IS needed. Yep. THEY NEED TO PUT THEIR BODIES ON THE LINE to have any respect from me. The citizens are. Why shouldn’t they?

What could the Democrats have done to stop Doge? 212 house members plus their staff could’ve chained themselves to the door of whatever building and call out its constituents to join them. To the point where the National Guard would’ve been needed

Trump and Republicans are going to cheat and steal the elections. People are still suffering from a failure of imagination. They're telling you the plot openly

Former CFPB director Rohit Chopra says the Trump administration has stopped basically all oversight of businesses. "I think when people saw the front row of the inauguration—all of the tech barons and others—it just raised so many questions of who really controls Washington." trib.al/cT5xiSg

California is proposing to hold a special election on November 4th to give voters the power to fight back against Donald Trump’s tyranny. We will not sit back while Trump and his Republican lapdogs in Texas attempt to rig the next election.

When we talk about how Trump is planting the seeds to rig the 2026 midterm elections this is what we mean. Limiting voting access and controlling how people can vote does not equate to a free and fair election. And this is straight-up unconstitutional.

New— Nazis with giant swastika flags marched in downtown Indianapolis on Saturday with two police escorts. They shouted “white power” and said to the woman who took this video (reshared here with her permission) “fuck you, n***** bitch.” Police did not intervene. I cannot find local news coverage.

The person who went and destroyed the agency himself one weekend, the richest man alive, said that he “gave zero f***s” about reports that he was causing death of some of earth’s most destitute children.

The New York Times@nytimes.com

USAID funded roughly half the world’s supply of ready-to-use therapeutic food. The dismantling of the agency has disrupted the global supply chain that provides the packets, leaving thousands of malnourished children at risk of dying.

And now, some facts: 1. The person who has had the power to end the war immediately is and always has been Putin. 2. Remember how it started: in 2014 Putin invaded a sovereign country.

At the Nationals game and police presence is insane, unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Trump’s ridiculous, performative escalation is costing all of us an incredible amount of money.
