Trump has the military controlling areas at our southern border (outright fascism if you don’t know) and I still see people hanging arguments that “both parties are the same.” People really need to start questioning why there’s an entire complex of personalities profiting off of trying to convince American voters of this and start paying attention to reality. The military now controls zones at southern border. Here’s how that looks to locals. -

Food stamps are one of the most cost effective programs ever devised. Not only do you feed people who need it, which is the most pro-life thing I can think of, but the money goes to stores, truck drivers and delivery personnel, and farmers. For every dollar spent on food stamps, $1.50 to $1.79 in stimulus to the economy is generated. This is both stupid and cruel. Republicans Outdo Themselves in Food Stamp Cuts - The American Prospect

House Republicans plan to cut a staggering $300 billion from SNAP, far more than they’d originally planned.
Representative Malcolm Kenyatta is also a vice chair of the DNC. Here’s a message from him: “Three words should guide our work as Democrats: Make Life Better. Make life better—for the working mom trying to stay afloat. Make life better—for workers fighting for higher wages and paid leave. Make life better—for young people dreaming of a real future. That’s our work.”

Republicans only know how to break the economy while helping the mega-rich loot it as it craters, especially when you factor in the societal and economic costs of poorer health outcomes for Americans.

One of the most sinister thing the Trump administration and DOGE are doing is defacto trying to create a national registry in the U.S. without really making it a political question of whether or not the government should know everything about the population. Food assistance was the initial scope of the Aadhaar biometric system in India which ended up being mandated for everything from vaccine records to banking.

If I accept the premise that accepting a plane made by the Qatari government to serve as Air Force One is a good idea, which it isn’t, If Donald Trump gets to keep it after he leaves office then it isn’t a gift from a foreign government to our government for use by the President. It’s a gift from a foreign government to Donald Trump specifically because he’s president. That’s literally just a bribe. Trump is reportedly set to accept a jet from Qatar's ruling family |

It's insane to me that book banning is not being treated like the scandal of say, Joe Biden's dog biting a USSS agent. It’s hardly getting any notice at all. “Banning books to appease Trump” isn’t setting off alarms? Not Jennifer Bendery here because she’s obviously doing the work, but her colleagues in the media are failing us as a country every day.
