I spoke to three moms who lost all of the food in their fridge and freezer during the blackout in Gary Indiana. They all had their replacement SNAP benefits denied. Experts told me they are concerned about how the state is operating the program after the disaster. 19thnews.org/2026/09/gary...

Families lost weeks of food they couldn't afford to replace. Then their SNAP claims were denied.

As the city of Gary recovers from a devastating power outage, advocates say Indiana has a simple fix at its fingertips that could get parents the help they need.

The NIH Director confirms they are giving away biomedical research money used to develop treatments and cures for infectious diseases such as influenza, malaria, tuberculosis, HIV, Ebola, and other dangerous pathogens, to the Department of Defense. Outrageous.

Socialism is what they called public power. Socialism is what they called social security. Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

NEWS: New York City just recorded the safest summer in its history. From June through August, NYC saw its fewest shootings, shooting victims, and murders on record. Major crime fell 6.2% year-to-date, murders plunged 24.1%, and the subway had zero murders, shootings, or rapes in August.

American workers are taking home their smallest share of the nation's wealth since 1947 — even as corporate profits soar. Why? This chart has the answer.

After Trump gutted the IRS workforce — including the unit tasked with auditing billionaires — the agency's annual audit revenue plunged by 35%. Trump's attacks on the IRS were never about "efficiency." They were about making it easier for the wealthy and powerful to skirt what they owe.

So half a trillion dollars of Americans' tax dollars could have been spent on their own healthcare instead of Trump & Hegseth's chest thumping, needless, epic fail. Now the failsons are stealing MORE of our healthcare money to prop up their sagging war effort like they pop blue pills to keep it up.

And, of course, @oliverdarcy.bsky.social was the first to crack the code on why Maria Bartiromo was sudenly released from Fox News. She spilled to the White House that the corporate bosses delivered an edict not to cover his election-denying primetime address! www.status.news/p/maria-bart...

Bartiromo’s Fox Betrayal

Fox News offered no explanation for Maria Bartiromo’s abrupt firing. But Status has learned what happened behind the scenes, and why it put the longtime host at odds with her own network.

The wonderfully talented Marsh Family has a new parody of Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic." This will piss off Crybaby Caligula yugely. Isn't he moronic? Don't you think?😅

oh my, @richardbranson.bsky.social reaching out to Raygun was such a heartfelt thing to do! (and to all the posters and podcasters who spread lies about her, shame on you!)

Looking Through Water (2025) with Michael Douglas is a pretty good film.

Make no mistake—this is Mike Rogers' position on data centers. He's got up to $2.6 million invested in companies cashing in on the data center boom, all while Michiganders watch their utility bills soar.

This $1 billion in dark money could've been stopped. In 2010 I wrote the DISCLOSE Act to end secret money in our elections. It passed the House, but Senate Republicans blocked it & continue to do so.   We must keep fighting. You have a right to know who's trying to buy your vote.

Mamdani has announced that NYC restaurants can have outdoor dining all year round. This is actually a big public health win because fall and winter is when respiratory virus cases surge. Dining outdoors helps reduce the risk of disease spread.
