"About five million people in the country have already lost SNAP benefits — the government’s primary anti-hunger tool — because of the Trump/GOP bill... One retiree in Ohio described SNAP benefits as a 'lifeline.' Her benefits dropped in March from $250 to $44" www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/u...

Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Is Starting to Bite Before the Midterm Elections

The tax cuts in President Trump’s signature achievement were the Republicans’ answer to voters’ economic struggles, but its health care and food assistance cuts are taking a toll.

🙄🙄🙄🙄. The imbecile pedophile liar in office screwed himself today. After whining the press only covers his bad news (not true) & hinting they should coverup for his incompetence, missteps & even crimes, Dictator Tot kicked reporters out of the Whitehouse today. No reporting on Ching’s visit. 🙄

New sign to point at daily—> We do not need A.I. to tell us how to solve climate change. We already know how. Electrify everything and phase out fossil fuels to zero by 2050. It is suicide to justify even one new gas turbine sale in the year 2026 because “A.I. will help solve climate change.”

This is going to be a thread of AI greenwashing getting pumped out at New York Climate Week Here's one from today: Siemens, raking in MOUNTAINS of $$ from selling gas turbines to data centres (not mentioned) says: “we are racing to mitigate this as fast as possible" apnews.com/article/clim...

On the other hand, Eva Riesenhuber, the head of sustainability at the German automation company Siemens, and Evelyn Wang, vice president for energy and climate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said AI is too important to humanity and will help tackle climate change.

Data centers adding to climate and water problems “is not forever,” according to Wang, who told The Associated Press that data centers are five years away from being water neutral and about a decade away from no longer adding to planet-warming emissions.

Acknowledging these concerns, Riesenhuber said “we are racing to mitigate this as fast as possible because we are hooked on the intelligence, and we do need the intelligence to design the future that this planet needs.”

💞For many stray cats, the night isn’t peaceful. They may never know the comfort of a home, but a little food, a safe corner, or one caring person can still make their world feel less harsh.💞 -Credit, Owned By Cats

A picture of an outdoor cat that is clearly fearful, pressed against a concrete wall, facing and looking at the camera.
The message:
Some cats don't have a bed waiting for them at night.
They have sidewalks, parking lots, empty corners,
and whatever shelter they can find.
Every night is a struggle to stay safe, warm and alive.
They may have no home to return to-
but they still deserve someone who cares.
