"Right now, Congress has put money in an emergency fund for an emergency, and it's hard for me to understand how this isn't an emergency when there's no money and a lot of people are needing their SNAP benefits," US District Judge Indira Talwani said near the end of a hearing, referring to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the formal name for food stamps."

Technically Congress, but Trump says he owns them, so.

Who the Fk is stupid enough to STILL listen to Nutty Newty? And even post his garbage?

Oh, wait... nevermind.

Republican House members are still not is session, they are still NOT doing their jobs, they HIDING... while ALL Dems are there ready to vote.

Wake up, BJ.

first rap song?

- Corky and Boazboy

"I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Boawinsky".

The ACA was passed because Republicans wouldn't give Dems anything else; it was basically their Corporate Bill, but they opposed it when Dems decided it was the best they could get.

I thought that might get her a few clicks, lol.

- Are you having some kind of stroke?

It would be difficult to tell, right?

- I am planning my return to the mother land.

Don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out.

And don't be surprised when you SS is cut off.

'Liberals' ain't what they used to be.... intelligent.

"I have been federally indicted by Trump's DOJ | Kat Abughazaleh For Illinois"

Hey, when Trump says, "Everlasting Peace", believe it!

"Liberals for Trump!"

What a maroon.

"Trump's corruption rages on unchecked, not because people don't see it, but because they no longer believe anything better is possible.

To be scandalized, after all, is still to believe in a moral world that can be violated. What we face now is something darker: a society that no longer believes in its own possibility for redemption."

"Rebuilding an ethical imagination will require more than exposing corruption. It will require building genuine public and civic institutions designed to serve working-class people rather than the interests of the wealthy and investing in forms of collective, reciprocal caregiving that give democratic ethics concrete life and value."

The article is a good read throughout.

"China's Foreign Ministry called for the U.S. to abide by its commitment to a moratorium on nuclear testing and uphold the global strategic balance and stability.

It was not immediately clear whether Trump was referring to nuclear-explosive testing, which would be carried out by the National Nuclear Security Administration, or flight testing of nuclear-capable missiles."

Like he knows the difference.

Supporting something like the Lincoln Project would be a start.

- Republicans have been voting to open the government

No, they aren't even IN DC to vote.

Dems are there ready to votes, Trumpers can't be found.

"Janessa Goldbeck, a former US Marine Corps captain and chief executive of the Vet Voice Foundation, a non-profit advocacy group, said the order represented "an attempt by the president to normalize a national, militarized police force".

She predicted that force would be used to send troops to states led by Democratic governors without their permission and could be used to suppress turnout and disrupt the fair operation of elections.

In a worst-case scenario, she said, "the president could declare a state of emergency and say that elections are rigged and use allegations of voter fraud to seize the ballots of secure voting centers".".

That should be enough for the Food Riots alone. He'll have to send in the real military when the Epstein Files are released.

This is good, Daily Show - Jesus Or Trump?

Who's quote was this?

"This is against the law" the supreme law " of the land. There is no joint resolution with the Senate allowing for a recess longer than three days, nor has the Senate passed such a standalone resolution. Article I, 5, cl.4 of the Constitution reads:

"Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting."

Congress didn't even suspend its functioning for weeks like this during the Civil War or WWII; it's literally never happened before."

"No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands ... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
"James Madison, Federalist 47

"All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government.

An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one ... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." (emphasis Jefferson's)

We coulda been contenders!

Beck's video at the thread link is creepy as hell.

Not only is Glen Beck still alive (who knew?), but his and Mr Barton, who basically tells Project 25, "here, hold my beer!".... have created the AI George (read: Washington) based on Barton's thoroughly debunked version of American history, and housed his multiple Libraries in nuclear safe bunkers, and projecting their AI George image as THE Teacher of American History.

And at the very end, you find out why. (Hint: It's a Scam)

- Man, you are anti semitic as hell, poser.
GFY.

Don't get him started on Evil Nato provoking poor innocent Vlad!

There is actually only One Bad Guy in the Ukraine War, not two, like in the Gaza Genocide.

AI Overview

In the current political and electoral landscape, far-right groups have very limited influence in Ukraine.

Russian propaganda has falsely portrayed Ukraine as a neo-Nazi regime to justify its aggression, but this narrative is not supported by facts. While extremist groups exist and have sometimes used violence, they have failed to gain widespread political support."
