Short Summary

  • Federal workers are missing their first paychecks as the shutdown enters its fifth week.
  • The Trump administration is allegedly withholding billions in legally authorized SNAP contingency reserve funds, contrary to OMB guidance.
  • The "New York Is Not For Sale" rally displayed vast, highly energized support for progressive figures like Zoran Malani.
  • Healthcare costs are set to increase significantly as ACA open enrollment approaches without subsidy extensions.

Why am I not surprised that Bessent is a multimillion $, farming landlord? I wanted to make the point that him calling himself a farmer is like a plantation holder calling themselves a farmer, but it's not even a metaphor, it's basically the same thing. Because what do we see after the 14th Amendment but former slaveholders begrudgingly converting to sharecropping or tenant farming? If they could, they would..

Bessant is not a soybean farmer. What a load. He’s a feudal lord

1:08:22 2020 during the protests North Charleston and Charleston Police tear gased an apartment complex. People gather led in the park on private property of the apartment complex. Cops drove by and saw and came onto private property and gased civilians to get them to go back inside thier units. People had to close thier windows and doors to not allow the gas in. I said all that to say, this is what they have been doing to black and brown people for decades. The only difference is, it’s recorded and shared easier now.
