America only has a *hundred-plus-year history* of midterm elections drawing *far* fewer voters than presidential elections. Most *junior high-schoolers* know this. So here’s Trump, derangedly announcing that depressed midterm turnout is all about... ...him. This serial rapist is a sick—SICK—man.

www.cbsnews.com/news/snap-be... The average SNAP benefit across the U.S. is about $6.25 per person per day, or roughly $190 per month, according to FRAC. That isn't enough to cover a typical meal in about 99% of U.S. counties, according to a 2025 analysis from the nonpartisan Urban Institute….

Millions of Americans are losing SNAP benefits: "It feels as though people are being punished"
More than 5 million Americans have lost food-stamp benefits since 2025. "I have to prove that I'm sick," one SNAP recipient said.

The back ally chef-kissing Josh Hawley and his zealous spouse won't stop until abortion is banned. Do noticed in Gallup polling that 67% of 18-30-year-olds are pro-choice. Libertarian generations behind us have zero interest in policing women's bodies. The aging out GOP knows this. And ignores it.

Their political cynicism - and rank dishonesty - are off the charts. They have zero interest in meeting the demands of a plurality of society - 60% support choice, 69% pregnancy termination in the first trimester. Their baldly theocratic agenda is covert yet relentless.

They're holding up a major escalation in Iran and a crackdown on abortion until after the midterms to limit political damage. To the extent that the last two years have been a right-wing smash-and-grab operation, the next two will be worse.

So markets open high, despite these dismal job and unemployment numbers? We ordinary Americans remain baffled by the chasm between a knowable labor crisis and the accrual of wealth at the top reflected in the S&P. What's market determinative, some AI figure scratching his ass under the full moon?

Of course, that ever-beaming Jack o'Lantern, Kevin Hassett, found only good news in these numbers. It's preposterous to pretend that the MAGA authoritarian agenda is meeting the demands of a democratic society with plummeting confidence in individual and collective economic well being.

It's the pale, bland mask of that artificial cornpone from Louisiana that sticks in my craw. He never met a MAGA moment that he couldn't co-exploit. He thought this was the photo op of the year. May this debacle follow him the rest of his small f*cking life.

Gobsmacked by the elite levels of not knowing ball in the Senate today, thinking an NBA team is called the Hawkeyes then, refusing to Google it, then accusing a guy of treason because you didn’t know the Iowa Lady Hawkeyes aren’t in the NBA. Somehow I don’t trust these people to Save Girls Sports.
