Children can't learn when they're hungry. Said me, a retired teacher.
As millions of kids lose SNAP food benefits, free school meals are also at risk
Food stamps have a direct link to other critical resources, such as free breakfast and lunch at school. Now, experts say they're starting to see that link break.

Yesterday I joined NYPD Commissioner Tisch in the Bronx for a roll call. The Bronx is leading the city in crime reductions, with crime down by over 12%, and these officers are at the forefront.
Maybe someone finally showed them the science that says they would have a more battle-ready military if they screened them all for vitamin D deficiencies then if they screened them for low testosterone. JFC.
Allison Gill@muellershewrote.com · 17h agoNEW: the Pentagon has suspended Testosterone screening for now, claiming they’re updating the guidelines. Apparently they also want to screen women for low sex drive. www.reuters.com/business/hea...
I wrote this piece a few hours ago about how Musk bears responsibility for today's GOP and how they, in turn, must be held responsible for his extremism, but the dollar figures are already out of date. A hateful bigot is funding the Republican midterm campaign. Seems sorta like a big deal?
New York Magazine@nymag.com · 17h agoElon Musk is expected to spend upward of $100 million to boost Republicans in the the midterm elections.
Conservatives on the Supreme Court have been diluting Americans’ votes for decades. Let’s dilute theirs. Expand the court in 2029.
fare thee well to the woman who blocked me on twitter many years ago when (after one of her more slavish pro-trump posts) i said “jesus girl what happened to you”
Maria Bartiromo Is Out at Fox News (Gift Article)
The host, who appeared on Fox Business and Fox News, had been with the network for more than 12 years.

The closest I've seen Elon Musk approach consequences was when people started setting Teslas on fire last year, and that was only because he stupidly made himself too visible. Once he left the government it stopped even though the views he expresses on a daily basis are no less repugnant
Trump's main contribution to our culture was showing other rich guys that they can be as odious as they want if they don't back down on their own volition. Much like a lot of laws, social opprobrium just doesn't apply to them
Nicholas Grossman@nicholasgrossman.bsky.social · 17h agoAny candidate who accepts Musk's money will be repeatedly asked if they think it's a political liability to partner with an open bigot—blatantly racist, unambiguously sexist, egregiously antisemitic, you can pick one of many, many available examples—and if they'll give the money back, right? Right?

“What is it?” 🐄 “We don’t know.” “Where’s it from?” “We don’t know.” “Why don’t we know?” “They don’t have to tell us.” “Will it help ranchers?” “No. They’re actually pretty pissed.” 🧑🌾 @morningbrew roasts Trump’s tariff-free import of 300,000 metric tons of beef

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 17h agoJD Vance on the 25th anniversary of 9/11: "As you guys can probably guess, I'm really looking forward to hanging out with Joe Biden. I'm sure we'll have many many intense intellectual conversations. We'll have a great time."
Some congressional Democrats (or their staffers, I guess) follow me on here, so let me speak directly to them: The media isn't going to do this on their own. But if you make it an issue, they might just be shamed into forcing your GOP opponents into discussing the fat racist elephant in the room.
Kevin M. Kruse@kevinmkruse.bsky.social · 19h agoIf the media is going to insist that politicians denounce their supporters who make extremist statements, I have a suggestion for someone a bit more important than a Twitch streamer.
Are we sure he actually owns the watch and didn't just grab someone else's from a security checkpoint?

Republicans going on vacation to stop the release of the Epstein Files?
MeidasTouch@meidastouch.com · 21h agoA couple days ago, Mike Johnson mocked Thomas Massie for suggesting House leadership could keep Congress out to avoid the new Epstein Files Transparency Act, calling the idea “stupid” and “nonsensical.” Now he has canceled the final two weeks of September.

There weren't many anchors at Fox who were so willing to spread garbage and lies as Bartiromo, so it's sort of amazing they let her stick around this long. (ha ha no it isn't) Let's go to the archive! www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
