Given the tight limits and absurd food eligibility rules, I can assure him that SNAP users absolutely 'know how money works at the grocery store," and I'd also bet Husted couldn't give you the price of milk within 5 dollars if you held a gun to his head

Yes we can. Been doing it for generations. I’d like it to stop as well, but β€œwe cannot be” is incorrect. We are.

Wow -- as first spotted by @BadFoxGraphics on X, Fox & Friends this morning used *old footage of a previous dignified transfer* to mislead their audience about the fact that Trump wore a baseball cap during the one yesterday

And those numbers are from a BLS that Trump has been leaning on heavily.

I wonder how much worse the REAL numbers are.

We are now experiencing pandemic-level job losses with no pandemic to blame them on.

All because my neighbors were dumb enough to believe Haitian refugees were eating cats.

This is just ... sad.

Nice to see Dems normalizing Nuremberg references, because that's what will be required before anyone in the world will ever trust American government again.

Would probably break a record for height difference between consecutive legislators. Mullin is a wittle, wittle guy.

So, if I'm getting this right, Kristi Noem got fired for fucking her side piece, but not for killing Americans on American soil.

In a neo-Trumpian kind of way ... that tracks.

It’s an absolute dereliction of duty that the Trump Administration didn’t have a plan in place to get Americans out of danger.

We're about to learn in the worst way imaginable that putting unqualified people in critical roles is a very bad idea.

When I hear the words "Operation Epic Fury" it is impossible not to imagine a middle-aged softball guy with a tribal armband tattoo wearing an Affliction t-shirt that is a size too small for him.

Operation Dude-Bro would be more accurate.

Two photos. The first shows Catturd tweeting: Name one US inspired regime change that hasn't ended in absolute disaster

The next tweet shows him posting an AI illustration of Khamenei turned into a pile of dust. It says "I'm eliminated."

Two tweets. The first shows Laura Loomer promoting her show, where she says "A message has been sent that we are not interested in going back to the way politics were prior to Donald Trump, prior to 2016. We don't want warhawks. We don't want any more Neocons. We want American First. Period. End of discussion."

The next tweet says: Today is a great day. 

Our military is amazing. 

@PeteHegseth
 is an absolute killer. 

Now you see why the Deep State worked so hard against him. 

It’s great having a Sec War who has Infidel literally tattooed on his body. 

He actually gets it. 

God bless him.

Two tweets. The first shows Will Chamberlain tweeting: The Republican Party is no longer the party of regime change and endless wars. If you want to be its standard-bearer that is a non-negotiable position.

The next tweet shows him posting "Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead." The tweet has a USA flag attached.

Two tweets. The first shows Gunther Eagleman tweeting: "Warmonger Lindsey Graham just rushed to Fox to advocate for U.S. involvement as soon as he could.

He is also pushing for a US-backed regime change in Iran.

I would like to renominate Graham to get a one-way ticket to the frontlines of every war he wants America involved in." There's an attached video of Graham speaking. 

The next shows Eagleman tweeting: UST IN! President Trump is HARD AT WORK all weekend after the massive strikes on Iran!

He’s already on the phone with Saudi Arabia, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte! 

Trump is a machine!" There's an attached video of a news segment about the war in Iran.

Because They Can't Have My Son Why it's time for American parents to start fighting back

Wrote this back in January. Been my biggest fear since well before Trump won in 2024, even though most thought me a bit crazy for saying so during the campaign. No one is calling me crazy anymore. open.substack.com/pub/politica...

The entire Democratic strategy debate β€” "moderate" or move left? fight or compromise? β€” is based on a misreading of data. Voters don't think Dems are too progressive; they think Dems are weak. The actual math on what to do about this isn't even close!

Trump: "In one year, we have lifted 2.4 million Americans -- a record -- off of food stamps" (In other words, Republicans cut food stamps)

Here’s a great idea - let’s get the most amoral celebrity racist douchebag from the 80s, make him president, and then be blindly obedient to him while normalizing fascist shit that hurts large numbers of people.

Because we’re so Christian.

Seeing Joe Rogan angry about corrupt billionaire pedophiles after he used the platform they bought him to empower and elect them is like me ordering three double cheeseburgers, two large fries, and a Diet Coke.

Last month, University of Wisconsin-Madison Chancellor Jennifer Mnookin approved a proposal to establish a College of Computing and Artificial Intelligence funded by private corporations and philanthropy.
Mnookin said the move was a response to the inevitable creep of artificial intelligence into all disciplines of academia. Rather than reject AI, she envisioned a university that capitalized on this change by making artificial intelligence a "hub" connecting the humanities to computer science.

On the first day of my economics elective this spring, my professor said we would be expected to use NotebookLM to pass his class. He had lengthened the coding assignments so that they would be doable only with the help of AI. The reading assignments were longer, too: ten 40-page papers per week, which he asked us to feed into AI for a summary rather than read ourselves. When it came to lectures, he told us to simply upload the slides to AI and ask it to teach us whatever he failed to explain properly in class.

BLEAK. Bleak. I’d been paying attention to Columbia selling out its governance to the Trump admin, not so much its stance on AI.

Are you trying to tell me that the administration’s two-pronged strategy of pardoning violent domestic insurrectionists and detaining Latino kindergarteners isn’t fixing our country’s entitled white male rage problem?
