Ok, I got that but all you do is post and this is it? I’m sorry, I don’t mean to make things difficult but it says “Let me know if you want to be a member and I will add you”. So, being the literal person I am or maybe because I’m female, or perhaps it’s because I’m old, I assumed I needed to ask permission and then be approved and I would magically appear back on the Media thread. I’m so silly.

I have a bad pain in my right leg, near my crotch.  I took 1000 mg of ibuprofen and max dose of Tylenol and was still in more pain than I have been in, in a long time.  My sister gave me a muscle relaxant and it helped.  Probably from running.  It's not a sore thing, tho.  Something is not right.  I'll see how it goes and go see a dr. if it continues.

"...“Mar-a-Lago face” is a beauty trend among conservative American women marked by visible plastic surgery, heavy makeup, fake tans, and full lips. Surgeons describe it as featuring overfilled cheeks, taut skin, and an exaggerated, highly polished, and artificial appearance..."

Reckon this is like women who buy $10K purses, just showing off that they have the money to do it?

I have a bad pain in my right leg, near my crotch.  I took 1000 mg of ibuprofen and max dose of Tylenol and was still in more pain than I have been in, in a long time.  My sister gave me a muscle relaxant and it helped.  Probably from running.  It's not a sore thing, tho.  Something is not right.  I'll see how it goes and go see a dr. if it continues.

It was hurting last night in bed.  I didn't sleep very well.
I did that when I was running memorial Park in Houston. I pulled a groin muscle. It took 2 years for that to heal I kid you not. I felt it pull at first but it didn't hurt. But after I cooled down from running... the pain was intense.

FEDERAL MARSHALS... THE FEDERAL MARSHALS IN HOUSTON HANDCUFFED AN HPD COP WHO TRIED TO TOW MY POSTAL VEHICLE.... In my defense I was parked in the only place I could to deliver that mail... And I told that cop that was a federal vehicle and he could not tow it... Believe it or not this occurred pretty damn close to the building downtown where the Federal Marshals were at that time.... The Federal Marshal told that cop he knew damn well that he was getting a cut of every car that was towed.... Long story short that vehicle did not get towed...

The Postal Inspection Service would do things like investigate employees for theft. Which unfortunately happened a lot. Sometimes they would drop valuable items  in postal drop  boxes to see if the post office employee who picked it up would steal it. Found a brand new Smith & Wesson 44 Magnum in a post office drop box on Mangum Road once.  I closed the box with it still in there along with the mail and immediately called the Postal Inspectors.

Reading Virginia Giuffre’s book and all I can think is, I want to see the skin flayed off of every billionaire pos who had anything to do with Epstein, his friends, his money and his island. Everybody knew; from the chefs, to the pilots, the staff…everybody. JFC.
What a disgrace.

as far as that poll that came out showing Democrats with a big lead... I've told everybody here repeatedly that the Republican party is going to lose both houses in 2026... And one of the main reasons for that is that because of this snap thing and the EBT card thing people are now very much believing that the Republicans are going to come after Social SECURITY ....and healthcare means NOTHING to them... Republicans are arrogant now but they won't be after November of 2026...

By slavishly following Donald Trump the Republicans have doomed the party... I don't know if they will ever recover... The Republicans needed a Fetterman of their own... Several of them... Someone not afraid to go against the party hierarchy.... that is currently leading the Republican party to an abyss they will not escape from....

The current Republican party strategy seems to be this... are you going to believe what we tell you... or are you going to believe your lying eyes... What is coming is a political tidal wave never before experienced in this country... This will mark the end of the Republican party in its current form... Perhaps for decades.

  When you get right down to it Republicans are a minority party numerically speaking. Many Democrats simply did not bother to vote. Attempting to outright steal an election from those who outnumber you can potentially result in a vicious backlash... I'm pretty sure that would get the attention of those Democrats who couldn't be bothered to vote in the last election... They would become energized and very motivated...

"If there is a shutdown ... I think it would be a tremendously negative mark on the president of the United States. He's the one that has to get people together." -Donald Trump, 2011

"When they talk about the government shutdown, they’re going to be talking about the president of the United States, who the president was at that time. They’re not going to be talking about who was the head of the House, the head of the Senate, who’s running things in Washington. So I really think the pressure is on the president." -Donald Trump, 2013

Trump makes his decisions on a whim. No deep thinking or consideration involved. This could potentially be tragically dangerous in today's political landscapes. You expect the dictator in North Korea to make statements off the wall that are inherently ludicrous... You do not expect it coming from the leader of the most powerful democracy on the planet... Donald Trump is an aberration.... An aberration that must be dealt with by voting his supporting foundation out of office in 2026.... Losing both houses will effectively emasculate him politically...

Lot going on and been gone a few days.
I'll post a few highlights tonight

Kind of sad Cuomo tarnishing legacy with desperate attacks on Mamdani that are racist and Islamophobic.
Appears Cuomo desperate to have power which looks like all he's in it for. Some say he only ran because of ladies made allegations and families of people that died in nursing homes that blame him.
 After podcast comments referring to 9/11 the other day
 On air today on MSNBC said
  Diversity is sometimes our weakness. That didn't go over well. As he tried to explain and clean it up it never really helped.
  Record voting.

 By most polling it appears Mamdani will win by double digits Tuesday.

Big case in Supreme Court Wednesday.
Oral arguments in case does Trump have the power to do tariffs the way he has relying on a law and saying emergency because I say so.
By clear text of law passed by Congress he doesn't not that he can't try to using other laws which would require more time and justification.

Despite saying last month he might attend now Trump says he will not attend the arguments saying doesn't want anything to distract from importance of case but he would make speech somewhere that day. I'm guessing issue be mentioned.

You thought Trump resolved everything in Gaza War right.
We have seen I think 11 hostage remains not turned over yet.
Some that were returned were not matches of hostages. Possible Hamas doesn't even know. I'm not sure but lot of destruction in Gaza, rubble etc.
Possible quite possible foot dragging.
  Beyond that issue though

 Qatar trying to keep Israel-Hamas ceasefire from falling apart, prime minister says
"We work together very closely with them in order to make sure that the ceasefire stay intact," he said.
Updated: 11/02/2025 01:34 PM EST

Qatar’s prime minister said in an interview that aired Sunday that violations of the Israel-Hamas ceasefire are occurring constantly but that his country continues to work to keep the agreement from collapsing.

Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al-Thani, who is also Qatar’s foreign minister, told CNN’s Fareed Zakaria: “The violations are happening every day. And we have, like we have in the de-confliction room, the operation room that we did together with Egypt and the United States. We register everything over there. ... We work together very closely with them in order to make sure that the ceasefire stay intact.”

President Trump has to noon Monday today to tell court how going to issue full or partial food stamps.
 For 42 million Americans on SNAP benefits. Already days into November with people not getting monthly allotment.
  2 courts ruled against him. Both clearly saying to extent can use contingency funds Congress authorized be used for situations like this though never happened related to shutdown before this being longest full shutdown in history and now day 34 with 35 being record for partial shutdown.

So when Trump says looks at how can help and asking court how to do it remember this the court told him to tell them how he was going to comply with ruling.

Neither court bought nonsense that gee there's no appropriation for it I'd like to help but I can't. No he's trying to put pressure on Democrats to cave in to him. Saying mostly Democrats on food stamps. Really?
I beg to disagree. A heck of lot of his red states get heck of lot of food stamp benefits people often voted for him. Remember he was going to bring down prices starting on Day 1.

Also when he says by law he can't use it since his claim it's not appropriated remember this He himself has for other things under saw law found money to fund appropriations in instances where he wanted to-WIC and for military.

You better believe 2026 premiums for health insurance are going up a lot in Affordable Care Act ACA policies. Whether or not you have subsidies.
I live in Kentucky.

The plan I have this year for same plan next year the premium went up 180% which would be 14% of my total income. A lot of people aren't going to be able to afford and will lose coverage.
 When I say premium it was actually amount I owe per month not total cost of policy which went up from over $1,300 month to over $1,700 month. I still have subsidy under original law it even went up but less than cost of plan went up

Under expanded subsidies cost was capped at 8.5% of your total income. So not tied to dollars.
When I'd see a claim somebody making $500,000 year got subsidy I guess they were paying $42,500 premiums in policy because that's 8.5%
I've never seen that plan.

No picnic for Democrats either

NBC
Trump approval 43%
Disapproval 55%

Poll found 52% more blame Republicans and 42% more blame Democrats for shutdown, 4% equally.
NO lie. I saw Republican congressman the other day say By next November elections the shutdown will long be forgotten.
I disagree with that for people lost food stamps, lost government jobs during shutdown and lost health insurance I don't think it will be forgotten.

Republicans and Democrats both underwater but Democrats even few points higher at 68% unhappy with party. I think Republican was at 63%

Now when anybody survives a boat attack they are not.
They are sent to another country and never arrested and tried.

  He's even told Congress he doesn't have to justify it to them. Link about that. Well yes he does. Congress is one passes law authorizing stuff like Afghanistan and Iraq wars and doesn't fall under it. The other route is legal process-arrest and try them and he doesn't do that.

LEXINGTON, Kentucky — Martha Layne Collins, the first and only woman elected governor of Kentucky, died on Saturday. She was 88.

The Democrat’s most visible legacy is a sprawling Toyota auto assembly plant — arguably the biggest industrial plum of its day and the linchpin of her economic-development strategy. She also worked for years to overhaul the state’s public education system.

“When I became governor, you have lots of priorities, but when I’d sit down and think about it, education always came back as the first thing you have to start with,” the former teacher explained in a 1992 interview with the Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky. “I feel like I made an impact in education and bringing in new jobs; I hope we made the people of Kentucky feel good about themselves.”

Collins served as governor from 1983 to 1987, at a time when Kentucky governors were limited to single terms.

Then finally I did enjoy World Series
  Understandably liking Dodgers. Reds are National League too which is our nearest MLB team.
  But also remembering Johnny Padres of Dodgers World Series fame that in his early days in Los Angeles Dodgers organization before he became a major league player spent some time in Class A minor league ball for Hazard Bombers pitching here.

Couple games weren't close.
I watched a lot of 18 inning marathon. About all of the extra innings in 6 hour 39 minute game Dodgers won and looked to be in good shape.
In a series I reckon no home team won a game.

Last game really good come from behind win
Yamamoto pitching for win in 3 games. Complete game in Game 2, Game 6 and then next final night pitching last 2 2/3 innings.
LA hit a solo home run Will Smith in 11th for 5-4 lead and it held up.
Toronto had lead off double, then sacrifice bunt to 3rd, hit batter and became 1st and 3rd with 1 one but next guy hit into routine double play outs at 2nd and 1st.

Voters unhappy with Trump
No picnic for Democrats either

NBC
Trump approval 43%
Disapproval 55%

Poll found 52% more blame Republicans and 42% more blame Democrats for shutdown, 4% equally.
NO lie. I saw Republican congressman the other day say By next November elections the shutdown will long be forgotten.
I disagree with that for people lost food stamps, lost government jobs during shutdown and lost health insurance I don't think it will be forgotten.

Republicans and Democrats both underwater but Democrats even few points higher at 68% unhappy with party. I think Republican was at 63%
"Lost" govt jobs? As far as I can tell a lot of people lost their jobs because Trump fired them out of spite..

I told her how her friend Lucy who lost 100 pounds on Zepbound can't get it anymore because the REPUBLICANS overruled the governor here and the drug can no longer be administered for weight loss ...only if you have diabetes... Poor Lucy has already regained 45 lb.. pennywise and pound foolish.. the money America spends on obesity related health issues is staggering.. so our Republican friends make it harder to get it here for people who can't lose weight... We will just go ahead paying through the ass for people to be treated for weight related issues.. some posters here who I will not mention...

President Trump has to noon Monday today to tell court how going to issue full or partial food stamps.
 For 42 million Americans on SNAP benefits. Already days into November with people not getting monthly allotment.
  2 courts ruled against him. Both clearly saying to extent can use contingency funds Congress authorized be used for situations like this though never happened related to shutdown before this being longest full shutdown in history and now day 34 with 35 being record for partial shutdown.

So when Trump says looks at how can help and asking court how to do it remember this the court told him to tell them how he was going to comply with ruling.

Neither court bought nonsense that gee there's no appropriation for it I'd like to help but I can't. No he's trying to put pressure on Democrats to cave in to him. Saying mostly Democrats on food stamps. Really?
I beg to disagree. A heck of lot of his red states get heck of lot of food stamp benefits people often voted for him. Remember he was going to bring down prices starting on Day 1.

Also when he says by law he can't use it since his claim it's not appropriated remember this He himself has for other things under saw law found money to fund appropriations in instances where he wanted to-WIC and for military.
Reminds me of the people who continually say that most people who get help with food are Black. In point of fact most people who get EBT cards are White. A goodly percentage of people who get welfare benefits in my state are in fact not Democrats. Also I believe there isn't enough money in the contingency funds to pay everyone for one month to get help with food. You know we are talking about food here this is incredible... There's a lot of pent up anger out here...

Those judges have set a bear trap for trump to break the law by using those contingency funds so now he is asking those judges exactly how he can break the law in order to use those funds because if he use those funds he becomes subject to impeachment for breking law....A very wise move bt him.....WINNING!  LOL

Reminds me of the people who continually say that most people who get help with food are Black. In point of fact most people who get EBT cards are White. A goodly percentage of people who get welfare benefits in my state are in fact not Democrats. Also I believe there isn't enough money in the contingency funds to pay everyone for one month to get help with food. You know we are talking about food here this is incredible... There's a lot of pent up anger out here...

When I worked for state with welfare, food stamps and medical cards most were  surely white. I know population of blacks is lower here but even if you go by proportional percentages blacks/ percentages of whites it would still be.

Funny Trump claimed in court law prohibits him from contingency funds.
Well in Trump 1.0 he used contingency funds during it. Go figure

Only 18? He's slipping.

Fact check: 18 false claims Trump made on ‘60 Minutes’
https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/politics/fact-check-trump-cbs-interview

I have to turn off when goes into too much nonsense. Like they emptied their prisons and mental institutions and sent to US.

Part of CBS one many already debunked long ago

Trump told his usual lie that the free and fair 2020 election was stolen from him. He lied again that grocery prices “are down” even after CBS’ Norah O’Donnell informed him they are up. He declared once more that there is now “no inflation,” though there certainly is, and then that inflation is 2% or “even less than 2%,” though the most recent available Consumer Price Index figure is now up to 3%.
(I've seen him claim elsewhere highest poll numbers ever which is clearly not true. Yesterday we saw lowest poll numbers since right after Insurrection)

The president also deployed multiple other fictional numbers during his exchanges with O’Donnell, which were recorded Friday and released by CBS on Sunday.

He falsely claimed “$17 trillion” is being invested in the US “right now,” though the $17 trillion figure is nearly double the White House’s own wildly inflated figure.

He falsely claimed each alleged drug boat the US has attacked in recent weeks “kills 25,000 Americans,” though experts note this figure plainly does not make sense.

He falsely claimed some recent former presidents invoked the Insurrection Act “28 times,” though no individual president has invoked it on more than six occasions with this record set by President Ulysses S. Grant in the 1800s.

He falsely claimed he has ended “eight wars,” though his list includes two situations that were not wars at all and at least one war that continues.

He falsely claimed CBS aired an edited interview with Trump’s 2024 opponent Kamala Harris “two days” before the election, though it was actually more than four full weeks before Election Day.

He falsely claimed former President Joe Biden gave $350 billion in aid to Ukraine (the real number is well under half that) and allowed in “25 million” migrants (the real number here is well under half that, too).

Maybe part of optimism on ending shutdown in this.
Yeah a CR to November 21st isn't going to do much being November 3rd already

 New CR date under discussion, Johnson says
“We’re very mindful of the calendar,” the speaker said Monday.
11/03/2025, 11:29am ET

Speaker Mike Johnson said Monday that GOP leaders are discussing ways to deal with the rapidly approaching Nov. 21 expiration date of the continuing resolution that passed the House last month and is now stalled in in the Senate.

Republican leaders are privately eyeing another stopgap into early 2026, as POLITICO has reported, which would be part of any deal to reopen the government.

“We’re very mindful of the calendar. We’re very frustrated by that,” Johnson said at a news conference, adding that GOP leaders would meet soon to discuss options.

Republicans have ramped up conversations about a new expiration date over the past week. GOP leaders in both the House and Senate are now eyeing sometime between Jan. 21 and March for the expiration of any deal to reopen the government.

Senators are discussing a deal that could involved moving a package of funding bills alongside a new stopgap that would reopen government, along with a vote for Democrats on extending expiring health insurance subsidies. Those talks continued over the weekend, and while lawmakers feel they’re making progress, GOP leaders have made clear that they will not allow any full-year funding bills to advance without securing a deal to reopen the government first.

Quick note on boats being struck sure the US has power to blow a boat up but going to hurt foreign policy and relations with other countries we need help from on big issues like with China and Russia

Trump administration is planning new mission in Mexico against cartels, current and former U.S. officials say
The new operation would include U.S. troops on the ground in Mexico striking drug labs and cartel leaders, according to current and former U.S. officials, though a deployment is not imminent
 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-planning-new-mission-mexico-cartels-current-forme-rcna241167

 The mission currently being planned for would be a break with past U.S. administrations, which have quietly deployed CIA, military and law enforcement teams to Mexico to support local police and army units fighting cartels but not to take direct action against them.
  Would involve a lot of drone strikes on labs and cartels. Some requiring operators on ground for drone strikes.

 Unlike in Venezuela, the mission being planned for Mexico is not designed to undermine the country’s government, the two current and two former U.S. officials said.

After NBC’s story in April, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum addressed it at a news conference. “We reject any form of intervention or interference. That’s been very clear, Mexico coordinates and collaborates, but does not subordinate itself,” she said, according to a translation provided by the Mexican Embassy to the U.S.

This from CBS lists $5.2 billion and says will fully use all funds do have.
Roughly $9  billion being needed amount for full benefits.

One judge had said administration should use contingency AND find additional funding to cover full benefits but in no case could partial benefits be issued later than Wednesday

Trump administration will use SNAP contingency fund to pay partial food stamp benefits
Justice Department lawyers separately told the court that the administration will "fulfill its obligation to expend the full amount of SNAP contingency funds" by providing states with information on Monday that they can use to calculate benefits due to each eligible household.

Asked is there a compromise out there? He thinks yes.
Neither side will be completely happy about it nor get all they demanded but that's compromise

BUT

I looked at my letter on ACA health care plan.

Total premium of plan went up 42% in one year from $1,204 to $1,712 not pocket change there folks.
My cost went up 180%
I may try to look for alternate plans on exchange to be cheaper.
Not sure how well that will go.
Of course less coverage, higher deductible and/or more out of pocket costs
  Can any compromise on ACA change rates already set?
They could raise amount of subsidies somewhere between original subsidies and expanded subsidies?
Not sure how all could go but before the limit was 8.5% of your total income towards health care premiums. Mine for 2026 on this plan is almost 15%.
Would wording of new legislation be dollar income limit or percentage of income limit.
Then would new rates be recalculated. Not holding breath on that.
They were set based on what was lost and of course costs go up every year but not 42%

Realize on food stamps too there can be now no new people signed up.
People apply every day.
Shutdown has to be resolved or right back in a few weeks how do you pay-do you pay-next month's benefits?

We're still not fully funded for this month.
About half funded and several days late before many get benefits.

So food banks are doing all can.
Remember they're already stretched thin due to recent government funding cuts.

Trump could find funds to redirect if it was a priority to him to fully fund this month.

The Attorneys General of 21 Democratic states unite to slam the MAGA Education Department with a massive lawsuit over Trump's corrupt changes to the Public Service Loan Forgiveness student debt relief program.
Our courtrooms have become a battlefield against fascism...
“Public Service Loan Forgiveness was created as a promise to teachers, nurses, firefighters, and social workers that their service to our communities would be honored,” said New York Attorney General Letitia James.
“Instead, this administration has created a political loyalty test disguised as a regulation. It is unjust and unlawful to cut off loan forgiveness for hardworking Americans based on ideology. I will not let our federal government punish New York’s public servants for doing their jobs or standing up for our values,” she added.
The suit stems from a rule change last week by the Trump administration which states that anyone engaged in so-called "unlawful activities" will be ineligible for relief under the PSLF program. The program provides relief to government workers or nonprofit employees by forgiving their loans after 10 years of payments.
The administration has defined "unlawful activities” as “abetting illegal immigration” or supporting gender transition for minors. Of course, it's unlikely to end there. "Unlawful activities" are increasingly being defined by this president as anything that he disagrees with politically. His ultimate goal is to punish everyone who refuses to mark lockstep with the MAGA agenda.
In their lawsuit, the states argue that the rule will be used disproportionately to target Trump's political enemies. They suggest that it will be exploited to go after “teachers in states with inclusive curricula, health professionals providing gender-affirming care, or legal aid attorneys representing immigrants, could suddenly lose PSLF eligibility through no fault of their own.”
The states involved in the suit are Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, as well as D.C.

Keep telling people they are racist if they don't what non-white people flooding their countries, after they have destroyed all their own countries and 90 percent of the countries on earth.  Instead of telling these kids they are racist how about the left worry less about foreigners who, if they want a better life they can copy what 10 percent of the countries in earth do to not suck so bad and can stop effing up their own countries?

Well
  The GOP claimed Biden didn’t know whom he was pardoning. Trump now admits he doesn’t know whom he’s pardoning
 https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/03/politics/presidential-pardons-trump-biden-gop

 But President Donald Trump now says he didn’t know much about one of his own most controversial recent pardons — that of Changpeng Zhao, founder of the cryptocurrency exchange Binance.

The president also emphasized that he was relying on things people around him said.

“I don’t know who he is,” Trump said in a “60 Minutes” interview that aired Sunday. He soon added that he knew “nothing about it.”

Back on October 23, Trump offered similar comments. When pressed on the pardon by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins, Trump didn’t seem to know who Collins was asking about, despite the pardon having been issued the very same day.

“Oh, the recent one, yes,” Trump said when Collins refreshed his memory. “I believe we’re talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people.”

(In fact, Zhao was the only person Trump had pardoned that week.)

On news on radio coming home NBC had audio of Binance's own compliance officer talking about how easily they were laundering drug money.
Title: Re: : Does Our Media Work For The People 4 ?---------------
Post by: Frodo on November 03, 2025, 06:51:29 pm
 It’s controversial because Binance is the cryptocurrency exchange that hosts the Trump family’s crypto firm, World Liberty Financial. The pardon could allow it to operate in the US again. Binance has also been a significant platform for the sale of World Liberty Financial’s proprietary tokens, which have netted the Trump family hundreds of millions of dollars in fees.

In other words, Binance has helped and could help the Trump family make a lot of money, and the president pardoned someone who plays a significant role in that.

 MAGA hack Judge Aileen Cannon gets smacked down by a federal court and ordered to release the remaining parts of Special Counsel Jack Smith's investigation into Trump's classified documents scandal.
This is the last thing in the world that MAGA world wanted...
The 11th Circuit Court of Appeals has ordered Judge Cannon — a partisan appointee of Donald Trump who oversaw his federal criminal case and ruled that Smith's appointment was unconstitutional — to stop delaying the release of the rest of Smith's report.
Cannon previously placed a block on full disclosure of the Justice Department report that stemmed from Smith's exhaustive probe. The court cited "undue delay” delay by Cannon but have allowed her two months to act properly before ruling on whether to lift her order.
The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University in tandem with the nonpartisan watchdog group American Oversight petitioned the court to force the release.
"By keeping this order in place, Judge Cannon is undermining both accountability and the rule of law," stated American Oversight Director Chioma Chukwu.
"There is no legitimate reason for the report's continued suppression, and it should be posted on the court's public docket without further delay," said Knight Institute Director Jameel Jaffer.
The American people have a right to know the full truth about their felon president. We deserve to see all of the evidence that Smith accumulated and we deserve to see it now!

The president even bragged that he got 60 Minutes' parent to pay him $15M, then suggested they could edit that out of the interview (which they dutifully did), even though he sued Paramount for editing out unflattering parts of an interview w/ VP Kamala Harris last year, and they caved because they wanted a merger to go through.

This mentions a fund within tariff revenue Trump could easily spend if food stamps was a priority.
He has used the same fund for other purposes.
Remember he used research & development funding for military.
It is unknown how long it will take to reload EBT cards. I read elsewhere it can take over a week.

Remember when Republicans talk about how great a CR is they removed a Speaker of House over passing a CR.
It looks clear they will have to pass at same time to re open government multiple legislation to re open.
May well be a CR with new end date but also moving forward full year funding bills and towards resolving issue with ACA subsidies.

 Democrats, led by Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, moved to get unanimous support for a resolution that requires USDA to fund all $8 billion worth of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits for November.

The administration, however, declined to tap other sources — like a Section 32 fund of unused tariff revenue — to help fully pay for SNAP.

The new resolution would have required the administration to use that tariff money, in addition to the contingency fund, for the program.

Merkley argued that allowing USDA to only deliver partial benefits would result in weeks of delays for families being able to receive that money, as Trump officials themselves have warned.

 A bipartisan quartet of House lawmakers released a “statement of principles” Monday for a potential compromise on an extension of Obamacare subsidies, which would include a two-year sunset and an income cap for eligibility.

The compromise framework from Republican Reps. Don Bacon of Nebraska and Jeff Hurd of Colorado, and Democratic Reps. Tom Suozzi of New York and Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, is the first public tangible offering on health care policy since the government shutdown began 33 days ago.

The new blueprint is a sign the partisan freeze is thawing among some factions on Capitol Hill — and that frustration over the impasse is growing. Moderate Republicans in the House are especially losing patience, eager to address the health care issue while Speaker Mike Johnson has kept the chamber out of session since September.

“Congress is gridlocked, and too many Americans have lost faith that we can work together,” Bacon, Hurd, Suozzi and Gottheimer said in a statement. “Our hope is that this shared statement of principles will inspire bipartisan collaboration across Washington and help get Congress back to work for the American people.”

Bacon, in an interview Monday, said he hopes that senators — especially appropriators working on bipartisan talks around full-year government funding bills — will use this plan as fodder to negotiate an ACA extension framework. "I’m all for breaking the logjam,” Bacon said. “A lot of Republicans don’t want to see these premiums go up either.”

The four lawmakers are endorsing a two-year extension of the enhanced tax credits and an income limit on who can qualify for them, which would range from $200,000 to $400,000.

Specifically, his measure would have forced the Department of Agriculture to fund SNAP benefits for the month of November to the tune of $8 billion. ..."

Truthfully I would take Mamdani over him any day. We have many young intelligent and progressive members of the Democratic party who are not prepared to lie their way into office.

North Carolina has quite a few problems. Republicans here are attacking the Cherokee tribe for legalizing marijuana on their property. Hard to believe that this state with it's long history of illegal booze running actually has no competition for liquor stores it's all just state-run liquor stores like f****** Russia. Russia in the 1960s I should say.

I forgot about the state stores. Pennsylvania has them too. Pennsylvanians would come over to Jersey to buy booze.  State stores don't have the variety.

I used to buy cigarettes from the reservations back when I smoked. The federal government shut them down.

Received a call from the national media today about the decision to send all federal court cases in the Pikeville division to either London or Ashland. This will effectively move all federal litigation in Pike , Floyd, Martin, Letcher, Knott , and Johnson counties out of the region
     According to local media when Pikeville Mayor Jimmy Carter contacted our senior Senator who always boasted about his influence- he got no response about the legitimate concerns of losing our local federal court.
    Historically the Pikeville federal court has been on life support- during the 1990's the Floyd County Bar Association passed a resolution I sponsored that President  Bush should appoint a federal district judge who would hold court on a full time basis in Pikeville.
It never really happened.
     The political reality is that the six counties impacted have almost unanimous Republican public officials including Hal Rogers. Shows how much influence they have- or more accurately how little influence they have.
    The bottom line is that Appalachia gets shafted  again- that is exactly what I told the national media reporter today.
Thanks Mitch and the Republicans for selling us out again.

In addition, they’re voting against poor people losing Medicaid benefits. Next on the chopping block for you will be an end to your Medicare benefits. A benefit, you have paid for your entire working life. That just feels like robbery to me.

I call BS. Our Democrat Governor immediately moved funds to insure people needing assistance would receive it. In addition, he contacted all churches and food banks to further request they would be able to help. That’s what good Democrats do.

You have a good governor I must admit. But I was referring to congress.

I thought the snap funding bill was a stand alone bill. Are Dems voting against that bill because of Obamacare too?

Trump threatens to withhold SNAP benefits despite court order-CNN

 President Donald Trump on Tuesday threatened to withhold critical food aid until the government shutdown is over, despite his administration’s assertion to a court earlier this week that it would continue funding partial benefits.

The benefits provided by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, commonly known as SNAP, “will be given only when those Radical Left Democrats open up the government, which they can easily do, and not before!” Trump wrote on Truth Social.

The post comes a day after the administration said it would abide by a court order and tap a roughly $5 billion contingency fund to keep partial benefits flowing into November. The Justice Department, which made the filings, declined to comment.

The White House and the US Department of Agriculture, which oversees SNAP, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

 The Trump administration cannot withhold billions of dollars in transportation funding to states that refuse to cooperate with immigration enforcement, a federal judge in Rhode Island ruled Tuesday.

Chief U.S. District Judge John McConnell wrote in his ruling that the U.S. Department of Transportation and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy “blatantly overstepped” their authority in attempting to link funding used to maintain roads, bridges and highways to immigration demands.

“The Constitution demands the Court set aside this lawless behavior,” McConnell wrote.

The decision represents another victory for Democrat-led states that have countered DOT’s attempts to disrupt transportation funding, including $5 billion for electric vehicle chargers that a judge in June ordered the Trump administration to unfreeze.

 A federal judge bulldozes a Trump administration lawyer in court over Stephen Miller’s secret orders to ICE: “Interrupt me on more time and find out!”
U.S. District Judge Sara Ellis wasn’t having it. In a packed federal courtroom, the Obama-appointed judge silenced a Department of Homeland Security lawyer who tried one too many times to derail questions about Trump’s shadow puppeteer, Stephen Miller. “If you interrupt me one more time… It’s enough,” she snapped — the kind of sharp, no-nonsense rebuke that cuts straight through the MAGA bluster.
The fireworks erupted during testimony in a case probing ICE’s violent “Operation Midway Blitz,” where agents reportedly used excessive force under suspicious “field directives.” When the judge tried to dig into whether Miller — Trump’s architect of cruelty — had secretly dictated orders to Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino, the government’s lawyer, Sarmad Khojasteh, tried to shut her down. Big mistake.
Ellis made it crystal clear that Miller’s communications were absolutely fair game, especially if they shaped how agents justified their brutality. She reminded the courtroom that Miller wasn’t just another adviser — he was the brain behind Trump’s deportation machine, the man who turned xenophobia into policy and made “3,000 arrests a day” a White House talking point.
When Khojasteh pleaded inexperience, Ellis’ patience ran dry. “This is the problem when we’ve got a revolving door of attorneys,” she fumed. “They haven’t sat through people’s testimony… and I find it extremely frustrating and a waste of time.” Translation: stop wasting the court’s time defending a cover-up.
The case exposes a critical truth — that under Trump and Miller’s direction, the border became a testing ground for authoritarian control. Now, a federal judge is peeling back the layers of secrecy to see just how deep Miller’s fingerprints go in orchestrating ICE’s violent crackdowns.
As Ellis made clear, if Miller was whispering orders into Bovino’s ear about how to run his “operation,” then his words might as well be on the trigger. The next hearing could decide whether ICE’s use of force finally meets its legal reckoning — or whether the ghosts of Trump’s hardline agenda will keep haunting the border.
Either way, one thing’s certain: Judge Ellis isn’t afraid to call out the rot in the system — and this time, the MAGA machine might actually have to answer for its sins.

Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams took to social media Tuesday to assure concerned voters in his state they weren't missing anything, despite their closed polling places.

 Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams said his office received complaints about closed polls.

He assured voters on social media there were no candidates or issues to vote on.

Shelter in place near crash too

At least 4 killed, 11 injured after a UPS plane crashes near the Louisville airport
Updated 9:37 PM EST, Tue November 4, 2025
WAVE

What you need to know
• MD-11 plane: A UPS freight plane crashed shortly after taking off from the Louisville airport, leaving a fiery trail of destruction through businesses and roads where a massive plume of thick black smoke now stretches for miles, videos from CNN affiliate WAVE show.

• Reported fatalities and injuries: At least four people have died and 11 were injured, police said Tuesday, warning those numbers could climb as the investigation continues. Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear said earlier some of the injuries are “very significant.” Louisville Mayor Craig Greenberg wrote on X this evening that the city has “every emergency agency responding to the scene.”

• Status of crew unknown: Beshear said the status of the crew on board the plane is still uncertain and they are working to reach impacted families as soon as possible. “Anybody who has seen the images in the video know how violent this crash is, and there are a lot of families that are going to be waiting and wondering for a period of time,” he said.

The shelter in place has now been reduced from 5 miles to 1 mile

Sherrill  56.9%

Mikie Sherrill will be first female governor of New Jersey

Voters said, republican-NO  But more interesting is that the majority of them in NYC also rejected mainstream Dem. 

As I have said many times, first we crush republicans and then when the country is safe, we get after the Dems and force some reform out of them. I may have had that out of order.

In Pennsylvania where Democrats have 5-2 margin on Supreme Court all 3 up for retention votes won 2-1

I think clear Democrats will win the California vote.
Issue will be margin.

 'Disturbing', 'disgusting', 'unconstitutional': Judge says of Chicago ICE facility
U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman heard from witnesses staying at an ICE facility amid President Trump’s Operation Midway Blitz. Detainees brought a lawsuit over conditions at the site.
 https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/11/04/chicago-ice-facility-is-disgusting-and-unconstitutional-judge-says/87084772007/

  A federal judge reviewing conditions at an immigration enforcement in the suburbs called detainees' accounts of the facility "disturbing," "disgusting" and "unconstitutional."

U.S. District Judge Robert W. Gettleman’s Nov. 4 review of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in the suburb of Broadview, Illinois, comes nearly two months into President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement crackdown known as Operation Midway Blitz. Gettleman is examining conditions in response to a lawsuit brought by detainees who said they were not allowed to contact attorneys, were coerced into signing deportation papers and were left in squalid conditions. 

The facility lies at the heart of the blitz operation. Immigration authorities process detainees at the site before moving them out of Illinois. Accounts of conditions inside have spurred frequent protests.

"It’s a disturbing record," Gettleman said near the close of around six hours of testimony. "People sleeping shoulder to shoulder, next to overflowing toilets and human waste, that’s unacceptable."

There's a lot of tragedy in this world can't be any other way. Watching someone you have been married to for 60 years slowly die it's not a good thing and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. So I watch my friend as he watches his wife slowly pass. Pain in his soul is hard to miss you can see it in his eyes. Thing about cancer is it takes people who are healthy contributing members.... And just takes them away wipes them out.... Last year at this time that 80-year-old woman was dragging 90 lb branches to the burn pile... Now she can barely move... I wonder what this is all about sometimes.... I read once that life is just a series of tragedy interspersed with a few laughs here and there...I broke in 1997... Lost people that could not be replaced... After that last person died that I loved so much... Within a week I'd quit my job of 20 years... And soon after that I was homeless... Looking back on it I don't think I even cared that much that I was homeless.... Dumpster diving.... I was like kind of numb.... Things are kind of jumbled up after that.... I've been blessed to wind up where I'm at... But life has taught me this one important fact... Everything is temporary... When you have a thing and you love a thing you just have to keep loving it and keep appreciating it... Because it's going to go away... That's just how it is... I guess the only solace we can take from that is that one day we go away too...

Supreme Court take up Trump's tariffs: Live updates
In its most high-impact case of the term, the Supreme Court is debating the legality of the tariffs Trump is using to raise revenue, spur manufacturing and exert political pressure on other countries.-Headline

(People now see it's not other countries paying the tariffs, it's us. A regressive tax that hurts lower and middle class.) Anything in ( ..) is me

USA Today
 In its most high-impact case of the term, the Supreme Court is debating the legality of the tariffs President Donald Trump has used to raise revenue, spur manufacturing and exert political pressure on other countries.

The tariffs, the centerpiece of Trump's economic and foreign policy agendas, are the first major test of his aggressive assertion of presidential powers to fully reach the high court.

Lower courts found that Trump overstepped when he invoked a 1977 law meant for emergencies to impose tariffs on imports from most countries.

But legal experts are closely divided about how the Supreme Court may rule.

ENEMIES, Foreign and Domestic..........

  The Insurrection Act does not specify an explicit time limit or expiration date for how long a president can invoke the authority. The powers granted to the president under the Act are permanent unless specific legislative action is taken to end a deployment or repeal the Act itself.
The duration of the invocation is essentially at the discretion of the president, who determines whether the situation still constitutes an "insurrection, rebellion, or civil disorder" that makes it "impracticable to enforce" US law "by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings".
Congress has the authority to amend or repeal the Insurrection Act, and bills to limit the president's power have been introduced. However, as of now, no such time limit has been enacted into law. Historically, some initial versions of related legislation, such as the original Militia Acts of

1792, included sunset provisions, but the version of the law that became permanent in 1795 and subsequent versions of the Insurrection Act have not included such limitations.




It's coming.....

 Democrats demand meeting with Trump on shutdown — again
The “blue wave” elections Tuesday night are leaving Democrats emboldened.

Trump blamed shutdown for election losses.

“We write to demand a bipartisan meeting of legislative leaders to end the GOP shutdown of the federal government and decisively address the Republican health care crisis,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries wrote Wednesday in a letter to Trump. Want Thune and Johnson in meeting.

 The letter comes as Democrats are facing their own internal divisions over how to end the record-breaking funding lapse — or if it’s even the right time to stand down without extracting more policy concessions from the GOP.

 Roughly a dozen Senate Democrats are viewed as ready to end the shutdown and turn the party’s focus toward hammering Republicans over health care ahead of a vote to extend expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies following the reopening of government, according to four people granted anonymity to discuss caucus dynamics.

Kavanaugh asks why Trump is the first president to use IEEPA to impose tariffs
Justice Brett Kavanaugh asked the Justice Department why no other president had tried to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs.

Solicitor General John Sauer said that tariffs weren't the ideal way to address the emergencies that other presidents declared under the law.

Plus, there’s no question that Trump is by far more comfortable with tariffs as an economic and foreign policy tool than his predecessors, Sauer said.

 Kagan says Trump wants unlimited tariff authority for presidents

Justice Elena Kagan questioned why presidents would ever use statutes that specifically allow for tariffs in particular circumstances if President Trump is right that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act gives presidents the ability to “blow past those limits.”

Solicitor General John Sauer said the International Emergency Economic Powers Act has its own constraints, including that there has to be an emergency.

Kagan noted that the administration argues that courts can’t review a president’s emergency declaration.

“So that doesn’t seem like much of a constraint,” she said.

  'It's a one-way ratchet': Conservative Justice Gorsuch suggests Trump tariffs are overreach
Justice Neil Gorsuch, a Donald Trump appointee, appeared to voice sharp criticism of the administration's arguments about emergency powers.

Gorsuch noted that, because of the president's power to veto congressional legislation, Congress doesn't have much power to rein in the president with new legislation, once Congress has given more power to the president. (Congress needs a two-thirds vote to override a presidential veto.)


That, Gorsuch suggested, is a reason to be skeptical of the administration's position that Congress has ceded over to the executive branch the type of broad emergency powers the president is now invoking.

"What happens when the president simply vetoes legislation to try to take these powers back?" Gorsuch asked. "Congress, as a practical matter in the real world, it can never get that power back."
 
  "It's a one-way ratchet toward the gradual but continual accretion of power in the executive branch and away from the people's elected representatives," Gorsuch added.

"I disagree with that," Trump administration lawyer John Sauer adamantly responded. He said there was a recent example of Congress terminating the COVID-19 emergency.

Gorsuch responded that the president had agreed to that move from Congress.

  Gorsuch asks whether Congress could surrender power to tax, declare war
Justice Neil Gorsuch asked Sauer, if the president's authority to conduct foreign affairs is unreviewable and he arguably has the power to impose tariffs, whether Congress could abdicate its power to declare war.

“You say that we shouldn’t be so concerned about the area of foreign affairs because of the president’s inherent powers,” Gorsuch said. “What would prevent Congress from abdicating all responsibility to regulate foreign commerce – or, for that matter, declare war – to the president?”

Sauer said his broad view of executive power doesn’t go that far.

“We don’t assert that here,” Sauer said. “We don’t contend he could do that.”


Sauer had argued that the courts should give deference and set limited restrictions on the president governing foreign affairs. But Gorsuch said he had weakened his position by acknowledging the president couldn’t claim the power to declare war.

“You’ve backed off that position,” Gorsuch said with a chuckle.

“Maybe that’s fair to say,” Sauer replied to laughter in the court. “That would really be an abdication rather than a delegation.”
(Of course presidents of both parties have claimed power to declare war without Congress)

Federal judge warns Justice Department it may be veering close to mishandling evidence in Comey case
https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/05/politics/james-comey-justice-department-evidence

A federal judge on Wednesday warned the Justice Department it may be veering close to mishandling evidence in its criminal case against former FBI Director James Comey.

“Right now, we are in a bit of a feeling of indict first, investigate later,” Magistrate Judge William Fitzpatrick of the Eastern District of Virginia said in the hearing in Comey’s case, which lasted under an hour.

It was an extraordinary remark in a case that has already faced both internal concern from other prosecutors as well as public accusations of the politicization of the Justice Department.

Fitzpatrick focused the hearing around questions he had for the prosecutors about how they had handled data collected under four search warrants in 2019 and 2020, which now could become part of the case against Comey.

The judge pressed prosecutor Tyler Lemons for direct answers on what evidence the Justice Department had in its possession, and whether anyone on the investigative side had looked at records that should be confidential because they are attorney-client communications.

The judge will ultimately determine whether the department properly handled evidence that it collected years ago in a leak investigation involving Comey and his friend and lawyer, Daniel Richman.

Comey’s defense lawyer said in court on Wednesday their side believed the former FBI director’s constitutional rights may have been violated but still don’t know enough about the information federal investigators collected years ago.

Comey’s defense lawyer said in court on Wednesday their side believed the former FBI director’s constitutional rights may have been violated but still don’t know enough about the information federal investigators collected years ago.

The defense had requested that the judge give them the ability to review to any information that the government collected as part of their leak probe to ensure that prosecutors can’t “rummage through” old warrants for anything new that could incriminate Comey.

The Justice Department has until Thursday at 5 p.m. to provide Comey’s team with all of the details it recovered while searching Richman’s electronic accounts in 2019 and 2020, as well as all grand jury documents and transcripts.

“The government has had this for five and a half years … this is an unfair burden the government is placing on the defense, but I don’t see another path forward,” the judge said, referring to the enormity of the records the defense will have to review in a short amount of time.

 Conservative and liberal justices on the Supreme Court had tough questions for the Trump administration as the court considered whether President Donald Trump can impose sweeping tariffs on nearly every good imported to the U.S.

During the court’s first major test of Trump’s expansive view of presidential powers, Chief Justice John Roberts and others probed whether Trump has claimed more power than presidents have been given under either federal law or the Constitution.


Tariffs, Roberts said, are a tax on Americans.

BREAKING: Donald Trump freaks out behind closed doors on Republican senators for "getting killed" after the massive blue wave yesterday — rages that they will soon be a "dead party."
He kicked reporters out of the room, but the story still leaked...
According to Andrew Desiderio of Punchbowl News, "multiple" Republican senators spilled the details of the private post-breakfast meeting. After ordering reporters out of the room, Trump said that the election results — which went overwhelmingly well for Democrats — prove that the ongoing government shutdown is "worse for us than for them." He said that Republicans are "getting killed" and if they don't nuke the filibuster they will end up a "dead party."
Trump and Senator Lindsey Graham then got into a fight after Graham argued that they could still use the reconciliation process to pass legislation without any Democratic support. Trump "snapped" at him and said "Lindsey, you and I both know that there’s so much you can’t do with reconciliation...”
Unfortunately for Trump, Desiderio also reported that Senate Majority Leader John Thune poured cold water on the filibuster idea, saying: "I know where the votes are. The answer is, there aren’t the votes."
Thune has long been opposed to removing the filibuster. Currently, 60 votes are required to pass legislation in the Senate. Without the filibuster, that number would drop to a simple majority vote. The downside for Republicans, of course, is that nuking the filibuster would make it much easier for Democrats to pass our legislation once we retake power. And after last night, it's clear that a blue wave is coming in the midterm elections.
It turns out that Americans don't take well to seeing their grocery prices skyrocket, masked fascist goons arresting and terrorizing innocent people, and blatant widespread corruption across the entire federal government. The MAGA era will soon end and then every single one of these crooks will be held accountable for what they've done. Don't count America out just yet!

BREAKING: Donald Trump freaks out behind closed doors on Republican senators for "getting killed" after the massive blue wave yesterday — rages that they will soon be a "dead party."
He kicked reporters out of the room, but the story still leaked...
According to Andrew Desiderio of Punchbowl News, "multiple" Republican senators spilled the details of the private post-breakfast meeting. After ordering reporters out of the room, Trump said that the election results — which went overwhelmingly well for Democrats — prove that the ongoing government shutdown is "worse for us than for them." He said that Republicans are "getting killed" and if they don't nuke the filibuster they will end up a "dead party."
Trump and Senator Lindsey Graham then got into a fight after Graham argued that they could still use the reconciliation process to pass legislation without any Democratic support. Trump "snapped" at him and said "Lindsey, you and I both know that there’s so much you can’t do with reconciliation...”
Unfortunately for Trump, Desiderio also reported that Senate Majority Leader John Thune poured cold water on the filibuster idea, saying: "I know where the votes are. The answer is, there aren’t the votes."
Thune has long been opposed to removing the filibuster. Currently, 60 votes are required to pass legislation in the Senate. Without the filibuster, that number would drop to a simple majority vote. The downside for Republicans, of course, is that nuking the filibuster would make it much easier for Democrats to pass our legislation once we retake power. And after last night, it's clear that a blue wave is coming in the midterm elections.
It turns out that Americans don't take well to seeing their grocery prices skyrocket, masked fascist goons arresting and terrorizing innocent people, and blatant widespread corruption across the entire federal government. The MAGA era will soon end and then every single one of these crooks will be held accountable for what they've done. Don't count America out just yet!
This is the part where his former allies all start to desert him and say they never liked him to begin with..🤪

That’s true however, most Republicans I’ve talked to really don’t understand the issue. They believe that the high cost of health care comes specifically from what they refer to as “OBamaCare” because that’s what they’ve been told. Meanwhile, healthcare companies have made millions upon millions from the proceeds of insurance costs. All the while every Republican believes whole heartedly that health care costs are the direct result of what a Democrat, Barrack Obama; implemented. They’ve completely forgotten that his initial proposal was held up and forced to be changed many times over by the Republicans. If Obama’s initial plan had been passed, we would all be paying the same amount for the same coverage and it would cover everything. We would receive the best care at nominal cost. Of course, the initial plan would greatly reduce the millions Insurance CEOs would be able to put in their pockets that they could use to support their Republican candidates.

Life is what it is. I’ve never been able to open a can with my teeth and I’ve never tried. I know I can’t change the mind of a staunch Republican because it would leave me weak and weary. The pending argument is not worth the stress.

Remember this: "a beautiful face does not mean a beautiful heart."

My girl was totally opposite of me and my bros through junior high.  I was the kind of boy who'd never even think of her like that.

ENEMIES, Foreign and Domestic..........

  The Insurrection Act does not specify an explicit time limit or expiration date for how long a president can invoke the authority. The powers granted to the president under the Act are permanent unless specific legislative action is taken to end a deployment or repeal the Act itself.
The duration of the invocation is essentially at the discretion of the president, who determines whether the situation still constitutes an "insurrection, rebellion, or civil disorder" that makes it "impracticable to enforce" US law "by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings".
Congress has the authority to amend or repeal the Insurrection Act, and bills to limit the president's power have been introduced. However, as of now, no such time limit has been enacted into law. Historically, some initial versions of related legislation, such as the original Militia Acts of

1792, included sunset provisions, but the version of the law that became permanent in 1795 and subsequent versions of the Insurrection Act have not included such limitations.




It's coming.....

: Trump’s day from hell worsens as a federal judge deals a crushing defeat to his scheme to withhold transportation funds from Democratic states.
First the blue wave, now this…
A federal judge just handed Donald Trump his latest humiliation, and this one didn’t just singe — it scorched his entire lawless immigration stunt to ashes.
In a blistering ruling that could melt the gold off a Trump hotel sign, U.S. District Chief Judge John McConnell Jr. permanently blocked Trump's administration from holding transportation funds hostage unless states bowed to his anti-immigrant crusade.
Translation: Trump tried to extort states into doing his dirty work, and the courts replied, “Nice try, wannabe king. Sit down.”
Judge McConnell didn’t mince words. He ruled that Trump’s Transportation Department “blatantly overstepped” its authority and tried to slap political strings onto critical infrastructure money that Congress never approved.
In plain English: Trump invented powers he didn’t have, waved them around like a toddler with finger paint, and expected the nation to call it policy. The judge called the scheme what it was — “lawless behavior” — and said the Constitution demanded it be shut down. That’s legal-ese for “Stop acting like a dictator.”
Twenty states, led by California, dragged Trump’s latest authoritarian fantasy into a courtroom and won big. While Trump’s loyalists babbled about “ending anti-American DEI” and falsely framed civil rights and immigration as crimes, the judge reminded them this wasn’t Fox News — there are real laws here. If Congress didn’t approve turning road repair money into an ICE loyalty test, Trump doesn’t get to do it by tantrum.
Rhode Island’s attorney general summed it up perfectly: safe roads should not depend on the “political whims of one man.” Imagine needing a federal judge to explain that basic democratic principle to a president. Yet here we are, because Trump treats the Constitution like one of those classified documents he allegedly stuffed in a ballroom closet.
And just to salt the wound, this ruling comes days after the same judge smacked Trump’s administration again — this time forcing the USDA to stop playing hunger games with SNAP benefits. Trump’s team tried to freeze food aid for struggling families unless he got his way on a shutdown. McConnell told him no then, too. Twice in one week, a federal judge had to remind Trump that cruelty is not governing.
But the pattern is painfully familiar: Trump abuses power, screams “patriotism” to justify it, and expects everyone else to swallow it whole. When the legal system says no, he throws a social-media tantrum and claims victimhood. Strongman wannabes always crumble hardest when confronted by a Constitution they can’t bully.
Trump promised law and order — and keeps getting lectured by judges about the law and ordered to stop breaking it.
Every time he tries to weaponize government against political enemies, crush the vulnerable, or blackmail states into submission, the courts push back and democracy holds its ground. And every time it happens, his myth of unstoppable power shrinks a little more. He’s not a king. He’s not a strongman. He’s a petty man caught trying to rule by threat instead of by law — and the judiciary just reminded him, loudly, that in America, the Constitution still outweighs his ego.
Another day, another Trump overreach stopped in its tracks. Another tantrum incoming. And another reminder that when democracy shows up, authoritarianism loses. Every. Single. Time.

Now that this butt kicking is over I'm guessing the Republicans will suddenly decide that maybe the lockdown has gone on long enough... What they never understood was that rising healthcare costs are a core issue of the Democrat party... The Democrats would never back down from that.... It would be like the Republicans backing down on gun control...

While there has been some talk of bipartisan group working to end the shutdown and that some Democratic Senators more willing to now

I'm hearing it is still likely to be awhile,
Not expected this week. A news person keeps up with Congress rules, procedures etc. says won't be this week unless nobody objects and we're nowhere near that.
  That it would likely be late next week into the following week.
 You still really need Trump to get involved and he's still running around saying end filibuster.
That's not going to happen. You could see the faces in room. Thune said after meeting the votes just aren't there. Several Republicans-known to be 10 or 11 opposed-believe it can be used against them when Democrats take majority one day

President Donald Trump threatened to pursue legal action Wednesday to expand his authority by terminating the Senate tradition known as the “blue slip,” which allows for senators to block a judicial nominee from the president in some instances.


“It's a horrible thing, blue slips is a horrible thing because I have the right to pick judges, and I have the right to pick U.S. attorneys, and this takes away the right from me!” Trump said Wednesday during a breakfast for Republican senators in Washington, D.C. “I think we're going to go to court on it and we'll see what happens in court.”..."

Democrats emboldened by election results mobilize against centrists’ emerging shutdown deal
 https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/05/politics/democrats-shutdown-deal-elections

Bernie Sanders says voters will punish Democrats if they end the shutdown with nothing in return.

 Emboldened Hill Democrats pointed to jitters from Trump himself, who privately told a group of Senate Republicans that their party was being “killed” politically by the shutdown. Trump said publicly that “the shutdown was a big factor, negative for the Republicans.”

Some of his GOP allies in Congress agreed. Asked if he believed the shutdown hurt Republicans in the elections, Sen. Jim Justice told CNN: “Look, if you didn’t, you’re living in a cave. That’s all there’s to it. Of course, it did.” Justice added that everyday Americans are sitting there watching the shutdown saying, “‘You people are in control. Fix it.’”

 Democrats’ election night romp has further scrambled Washington’s shutdown politics, with leaders of both parties now cautiously assessing their next steps as the pain continues to grow for millions of Americans.

Yet it’s not clear if it will substantively shift the strategy of either side, including among the dozen or so centrist Democrats who are still actively engaging in talks with Republicans in a bid to end the record 36-day standoff before the election, potentially without the kind of clear commitment on health care that some Democrats are seeking.

“Last night was a good night but it was one night of the year,” Sen. Mark Kelly of Arizona told CNN when asked about the elections, not answering directly if he would accept a promise of a health care vote. He noted that Democrats are discussing a “reasonable path forward” with the GOP.

“I don’t feel (it) changed a lot,” added Sen. John Hickenlooper of Colorado, referring to the outcome of Tuesday’s elections.

As of Tuesday night, roughly a dozen Senate Democratic centrists had privately signaled they were open to the GOP’s proposed shutdown offramp — which includes a future vote on extending the enhanced Obamacare subsidies. That group, along with a handful of Republicans, met all morning Wednesday and are still in intense negotiations over a deal that could lead to reopening the government, according to sources familiar with the effort. The timing of when a deal would be announced, and when any votes would occur, is still unclear.

Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada stressed to CNN that there was “no deal” yet and that discussions were ongoing on health care, adding there are also serious talks about constraining Trump on spending cuts. Party leadership, she said, is not directly involved in the talks.

Trouble with that is, trump is maga and one way or the other he is on his way out.  He is a lot like rush in that he is so over the top that no one will be able to replace him and have the same numbers.  maga will splinter and republicans, knowing that, will soon begin to maneuver to both distance themselves from trump and to pick up as much leftover support as they can.

The real business of the big two political parties is to stay in business, being maga is becoming a millstone around the neck of republicans looking to the future.

In a message to another recipient, Exum sent a news article about the event followed by the message: "Read it. 5 shots, 7 holes."

Yes, the Texas redistricting is in the courts, with civil rights groups challenging the newly drawn congressional map in a federal lawsuit. They allege the map is a racial gerrymander that dilutes the voting power of Black and Hispanic voters, while the state argues the redraw was for partisan advantage, not racial discrimination.

Karen Kult “Moms For Liberty” suffers humiliating defeat, losing ALL 31 of the races in which the hate group ran candidates!
The “Moms for Liberty” MAGA group, identified as an extremist group by the Southern Poverty Law Center took local politics by storm in the early Trump years, installing right-wing extremists on school boards and other local offices across the country as part of the conservative witch hunt against Black history, LGBTQ+ tolerance, DEI, and everything that wasn’t white and Christian.
Fast forward a few years, and the group is in full retreat! Moms for Liberty is now 0-59 in contested school board races since 2023.
The school board in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, was the epicenter of an anti-LGBTQ purge in the early 2020s, banning books and discriminating against gay students so badly it prompted an investigation by the Department of Education. That school board is now entirely in Democratic hands.
After years of watching right-wing extremists hurl hysterical hate against the LGBTQ community and fight to impose their white supremacist version of history on our public schools, it’s so inspiring to see the public rise up to throw the bigots out and return sanity and tolerance to our schools.
Every kid deserves to be respected for who they are, no matter what their sexual orientation or race. You’d think that would be an easier concept for these so-called “Christians” to grasp.

 Nancy Pelosi's 'old school' career in Congress, from Obamacare to impeachment

Pelosi chose a high point to announce her departure, two days after California voters cleared the way for new congressional districts in an effort to oust five Republican incumbents.

Agree with her policies or not Pelosi was one of most consequential legislative leaders since Lyndon Johnson and Sam Rayburn

The former House speaker retires still holding the record as the most powerful woman in the history of the United States. While former vice president Kamala Harris ranked one step closer in succession to the presidency, she never wielded the political and policy muscle that Pelosi did during two stints as the highest-ranking official in one of the three co-equal branches of government.

"Article One," she liked to remind, citing Congress' primacy of place in the Constitution − ahead of the Executive branch, established by Article Two.

First elected to Congress in 1987. She is now 85.

 Pelosi told me she seriously contemplated announcing her retirement once the 2016 election had put the first woman, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in the White House.

Instead, Republican Donald Trump unexpectedly won that race and fueled her determination to stay. She would press impeachment proceedings against him − twice. In 2020, she was so enraged by his State of the Union address that after it was over she stood behind him and theatrically ripped her copy of it to shreds.

A year later, some in the Jan. 6 mob that assaulted the Capitol, trying to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss, targeted her, shouting "Where are you, Nancy," and "all we want is Pelosi."

 (She could count the votes. She knew where her members stood before a vote was taken)

A nemesis for George W. Bush, and a rescuer
She was the political nemesis not only of Trump but also of another Republican president, George W. Bush. As House whip, she was the highest-ranking Democrat to oppose the invasion of Iraq from the start.

But she also engineered Bush's rescue when the financial meltdown in 2008 threatened to bring down the U.S. and the world's economy. She played the crucial role in passing emergency financial legislation credited by economists with averting another Great Depression.

 She was also the most influential legislative force behind enactment of Obama's signature law, the Affordable Care Act. She convinced reluctant White House aides to go big, then maneuvered the legislation to passage under odds many saw as impossible.

It was the biggest expansion of health care for Americans in a half-century and her proudest legislative achievement.

The historic bill was passed by the House after a 14-month political battle without a single Republican vote.

Have to post than headline or be confusing. Really didn't make a ruling.

Appeals court revives Trump’s effort to fight hush money conviction in light of Supreme Court immunity ruling

A federal appeals court in New York on Thursday said that President Donald Trump should be allowed to make a case for why federal courts should review his hush money conviction for possible conflicts with the Supreme Court’s landmark immunity decision last year.

A panel of three judges sent the case back to a district court judge to address certain questions raised by the Supreme Court’s decision and determine whether Trump meets the threshold to be heard a second time. The district court judge has already twice denied Trump’s effort to move the hush money case into federal court.

“We leave it to the able and experienced District Judge to decide whether to solicit further briefing from the parties or hold a hearing to help it resolve these issues. We express no view and ‘neither rule nor imply’ that the District Court should resolve Trump’s motion for leave to file a second removal notice in any particular way,” the judges wrote in Thursday’s opinion.

The decision gives Trump another chance to try to move the state case into federal court, but it does not give Trump what he ultimately asked for - to bypass the district judge and allow the appeal of his conviction to be heard before the federal appeals court judges. Trump is simultaneously appealing his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records in New York State court.

He doesn't really have justification for any of it but Trump says boat strikes are okay but has no plans to strike land targets.

Trump admin tells Congress it currently lacks legal justification to strike Venezuela
https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/politics/trump-venezuela-legal-congress-land

(But he's trying)

But the Trump administration is seeking a separate legal opinion from the Justice Department that would provide a justification for launching strikes against land targets without needing to ask Congress to authorize military force, though no decisions have been made yet to move forward with an attack inside the country, a US official said.

“What is true one day may very well not be the next,” said that US official when discussing the current state of the policy, pointing out that Trump has not decided how he will handle Venezuela.

The administration has to date tried to avoid involving Congress in its military campaign around Latin America. A senior Justice Department official told Congress last week that the US military can continue its lethal strikes on alleged drug traffickers without congressional approval and that the administration is not bound by a decades-old war powers law that would mandate working with lawmakers, CNN has reported.

16 boat strikes(all violations of international law) killed at least 67

 Donald Trump gets caught in a historic corruption scandal as the shocking truth about his White House ballroom donors is exposed.
Donald Trump didn’t just bulldoze the East Wing of the White House — he bulldozed the line between government and corporate bribery, and he did it proudly.
A new watchdog report just exposed the truth behind his gaudy, taxpayer-dodging, ego-fueled “White House ballroom” — the people funding it just happen to control nearly $300 billion in federal contracts and have poured $1.6 billion into politics and lobbying.
What an incredible coincidence — or, you know, the most obvious pay-to-play scheme since somebody wore a red hat and decided rules were for “other people.”
These corporate sugar daddies aren’t just dropping chump change either — some reportedly pledged up to $25 million to help Trump build his taxpayer-free palace while he smashed the East Wing in secret, without permits, oversight, or public approval, like a real estate developer who just remembered what power feels like.
And who are these donors? Tech giants, defense firms, financial behemoths — many of whom are currently under federal investigation or just had cases against them dropped by the very administration they’re now bankrolling. This isn’t subtle. It’s not even cartoon-villain subtle. It’s a donor rewards program with demolition equipment.
The White House calls them “great American companies.” Public Citizen calls it corruption with chandeliers. Most Americans simply call it what it is: a president selling pieces of the People’s House to the highest bidder while he tears down history to build himself an events venue big enough for his ego.
You know it’s bad when senators are literally saying they can’t find a permit, a blueprint, or a legal point of contact — just a bulldozer chewing through the East Wing like democracy is drywall.
But don’t worry! The administration swears this is all harmless generosity. Sure. Because corporations donate millions out of pure patriotic love — not because they expect favorable contracts, loosened regulations, and magical disappearing investigations.
And if that wasn’t shady enough, Trump’s fundraiser forms reportedly even allowed donors to stay anonymous. This isn’t transparency — it’s an oligarch mystery grab-bag, and the American people are the ones footing the bill in policy favors later.
Trump didn’t just privatize a public building — he privatized access to power. He turned the White House into a luxury function hall for billionaires while pretending it’s about “saving taxpayers money.” Meanwhile, the actual taxpayers — the ones who own that building — overwhelmingly oppose what he’s doing.
If the White House is truly “the People’s House,” then maybe — wild idea — the people should decide what gets torn down and built there. Instead, Trump gave corporations the keys and told democracy to take a long walk off the South Lawn.
He promised to drain the swamp. Instead, he built a ballroom on top of it.

SNAP benefits

This is important. The administration's decision to  partially fund November food stamps means weeks of delays.
  IF they had fully funded the program which they have plenty of funds available to do and have for other purposes from other funds-tariff revenue, R & D etc. there would been NO delay in sending out the payments. They could go right out.

Remember they didn't want to pay ANY benefits. It took 25 Democratic Attorney Generals going to court to make them do that. No Republicans joined in fight.

NO president has ever not funded SNAP including in shutdowns.

Administration now says they can before contingency fund depleted provide 65% of November instead of original 50%

GOP makes new funding offer, opens door to reversing mass firings
Republicans delivered their latest proposal just ahead of a crucial Democratic lunch meeting.
11/06/2025, 11:28am ET

Republicans made a new offer to Senate Democrats Thursday in hopes of cutting a deal that would end the 37-day government shutdown and advance a package of three full-year spending bills, according to four people granted anonymity to disclose the private discussions.

The new offer arrived just ahead of a crucial closed-door lunch where Democratic senators will discuss the path forward. Republicans have thrown a new sweetener in the mix, according to two of the people — that they are willing to discuss rehiring federal workers who have been laid off during the shutdown as part of a deal to end it.

Democrats have pressed for weeks to make President Donald Trump’s “reductions in force” part of a shutdown-ending deal. What exactly the rehiring terms would be is undecided, but the two people said it was now part of the negotiations.

The package of appropriations legislation would include the Agriculture-FDA, Military Construction-VA and Legislative Branch funding bills, according to three of the people.
 It does not include a date on a new CR. Some full year funding bills wouldn't be enough to open government.
It does not address ACA issue

Abigail Zwerner wins $10 million in lawsuit over being shot by 6-year-old in Virginia school

A former assistant principal ignored warning signs that a 6-year-old Virginia boy brought a gun to school, an act of gross negligence that led to the avoidable shooting of the youngster's first-grade teacher, civil jurors found on Thursday.

The panel of three men and four women sided with former instructor Abigail Zwerner and awarded her $10 million in damages stemming from her wounding on Jan. 6, 2023, at Richneck Elementary School in Newport News.

Zwerner was shot in the hand and chest by the boy, who could've been stopped by assistant principal Ebony Parker, the teacher said in her lawsuit.

A Richneck teacher testified last week that she informed Parker about students telling her that the boy had a gun in his backpack.

Another instructor testified that she relayed the same concern to Parker after a student alerted her to the boy having a gun.

The weapon wasn't taken from him until he shot Zwerner.

There were clear school guidelines that called for Parker to take action once the defendant was told about a possible threat, Zwerner's attorney, Kevin Biniazan, told jurors on Wednesday.

Governor Gavin Newsom replaces Donald Trump on the world stage by announcing that he will attend the United Nations climate summit in Brazil that the MAGA leader refused to send a delegation to.
Big Oil owns Trump but they don't own his ascendant arch-nemesis...
COP30, the conference in question, will be held on Friday and Newsom will be the highest-profile American government official in attendance. The appearance, which will supercharge interest in his 2028 presidential run, comes in the wake of his historic redistricting victory on Tuesday.
The governor told Politico that he's making the trip “because of the complete abdication of the Trump administration that is joining the Saudis and Russia and the Gulf states.”
“It’s doubled down on hydrocarbons as the rest of the world is sprinting ahead on low-carbon green growth,” he said. “For me, it is about our economic competitiveness, period, full stop.”
Newsom's angle here is a smart one. Climate change is an existential crisis for the survival of our species, but it's also an enormous economic opportunity for those countries that are willing to adopt clean energy quickly and efficiently. Either the United States rises to meet demand or China will.
Trump has repeatedly dismissed climate change as a "hoax" and a "con job" despite the overwhelming evidence and proliferation of extreme weather events. Fossil fuel companies helped foist him into power and he's paying them back tenfold at the cost of our planet.
“I just want to make sure everyone understands we’re maybe 2,000 miles from 1600 Pennsylvania Ave., but we’re a world away in terms of our mindset on these issues,” Newsom added.
Tens of thousands of diplomats, scientists, experts, and activists are attending the conference which will unfold over two weeks in Belém, a city close to the mouth of the Amazon River. Newsom will have a strong legacy to tout during his trip since California has been leading America in renewable energy on numerous fronts.
The rest of the world is eager to speak with the United States and so Newsom will have an opportunity to boost his international standing even further—
“The U.S. will not play a major role. The world is collectively outraged, and so we will focus — as will everyone else — on engaging in talks with those who are driving the process forward," said Jochen Flasbarth,  undersecretary in the German Ministry of Environmental Affairs."
Thanks to Gavin Newsom, the world doesn't have to count America out just yet. We need not surrender our global leadership. It's time to recommit to our responsibilities.

DOJ BOMBSHELL — Epstein files reportedly “even worse for Trump” than Republicans feared.
The panic inside the Republican party — due to its decisive losses in Tuesday’s elections — just got even more frantic.
Multiple House Republicans are reportedly freaking out after hearing from the Department of Justice that the unreleased Jeffrey Epstein files are especially compromising for Donald Trump.
According to veteran reporter David Shuster — who’s worked for MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News — “rumors are sweeping through the GOP caucus” that the Epstein evidence includes photos of Trump with half-naked teenage girls.
Shuster says several Republicans told him they’d been quietly warned by contacts inside DOJ and the FBI that the material is even worse than the claims made by Trump biographer Michael Wolff, who described seeing “a dozen Polaroids” of Trump and Epstein with topless young women “spread out like a deck of cards.”
You read that right.
Trump’s own biographer says he personally saw the pictures — and the DOJ supposedly has copies.
Now Republicans are reportedly “spooked.”
And after Attorney General Pam Bondi refused to answer Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse’s direct question about whether she’d seen those photos, the tension exploded behind closed doors.
Bondi tried to dodge by throwing out false attacks about Democratic donors — but Whitehouse fired back, calling her statement a flat-out lie.
Let’s be clear: If this report is true, the Epstein files could expose a massive cover-up involving Trump and his allies. Republicans know it — and that’s why they’re terrified.
While Trump rants about “witch hunts” on Truth Social, his old friend Epstein’s ghost keeps coming back to haunt him. And this time, it’s not Democrats he has to fear — it’s the truth.
And hopefully, the truth shall set us free.

A local judge?
Federal judge torches Trump’s immigration cops — says their “use of force shocks the conscience.” And it gets better...
In a stunning rebuke to Donald Trump’s brutal immigration crackdown, a federal judge in Chicago has issued a sweeping injunction against the Department of Homeland Security, accusing federal agents of lying, attacking civilians, and violating the Constitution.
Judge Sara L. Ellis, a respected Obama appointee, ruled that Trump’s so-called “Operation Midway Blitz” unleashed weapons of war on American streets against journalists, clergy, and peaceful protesters. Her words were blistering: “The use of force shocks the conscience.”
For weeks, Chicago residents have lived under siege as federal immigration agents fired tear gas, pepper balls, and chemical weapons into crowds — even at people praying and recording video. The judge found that Border Patrol Chief Greg Bovino lied under oath about being hit by a rock before ordering tear gas into a crowd in Little Village. No video ever showed it. When pressed, Bovino admitted he made it up.
And it gets worse…
Body camera footage showed agents mocking protesters, laughing as they fired tear gas, and shouting, “throw another one… for fun!” Ellis’s ruling now forces federal agents to wear body cameras, identify themselves clearly, and give two warnings before using any force — because Trump’s troops apparently needed to be reminded of basic human rights.
Civil rights lawyers were blunt: they said the federal agents were using gas banned in war, inciting violence, and then using the chaos they created as justification for even more violence. Even a Chicago alderwoman testified that she saw agents rolling tanks through neighborhoods, guns pointed at families.
Trump’s Department of Homeland Security chief reportedly told the agents to “go hard” at dissenters — and they obeyed. But Judge Ellis wasn’t having it. She opened her ruling by reading Carl Sandburg’s poem “Chicago,” celebrating the city’s spirit, then declared Trump’s portrayal of it as “a vice hold of violence” flatly untrue.
In response to the excesses of Bovino’s Border Patrol goons — and to the lies the agency tried to promulgate in court testimony — Judge Ellis said that she was issuing a sweeping injunction that puts more permanent restrictions on the use of force by immigration agents during “Operation Midway Blitz,” saying that their unlawful behavior on the streets “shows no signs of stopping.”
This is what Trump’s America looks like: border agents lying under oath, attacking clergy and journalists, and gassing peaceful citizens — until a federal judge had to step in and remind them what justice and decency look like.
Trump’s law-and-order façade just got torn to shreds by the very law he tried to twist. Judge Ellis said it best: “The use of force shocks the conscience.” This is Trump’s America — where justice must step in to stop his regime from gassing its own people.

"...DOJ Gives Judge Heads Up They Have Zero Plan To Actually Listen To Him
That's not how this works, that's not how any of this works.


The Department of Justice has come up with a fairly unique litigation strategy in the paper-thin case against New York Attorney General Letitia James: antagonize the judge overseeing the case. I know, BOLD!

U.S. District Judge Jamar Walker ordered the government to provide discovery to James’s legal team related to their vindictive/selective prosecution argument. But instead of getting their documents in order, the DOJ went all Bartleby, the Scrivener, saying they prefer not to.

Yesterday, the government filed “Notice Of Reasons For Not Providing Pre-Vindictive/Selective Prosecution Motion Related Discovery.” Which was just a fancy way of saying the DOJ was going to go all Eric Cartman and do what they want and ignore the judge. The filing, signed by Roger Keller Jr., brought in from the Missouri office to give an assist to the woefully inexperienced interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan, is a wild romp (for a court document) that attempts to impose the government’s will on the court..."

 Federal judge orders Trump administration to make full November SNAP payments
 https://www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/politics/snap-november-payments

 “People have gone without for too long,” US District Judge John McConnell said during a hastily called hearing Thursday. “Not making payments to them for even another day is simply unacceptable.”

Nearly 42 million Americans receive food stamps. Payments are made on a staggered basis over the course of a month.

But the US Department of Agriculture took the unprecedented step of halting benefits for November, saying the program had run out of funding amid the government shutdown.


Despite the judge’s ruling, however, many beneficiaries may have to wait a at least few more days to see the assistance. States send food stamp enrollees’ information to vendors every month so they can load funds onto recipients’ benefit cards, often days or weeks before the new month begins. Those steps need to take place before benefits can restart.

McConnell’s order comes days after the administration, in response to an earlier order from him, said it would provide only partial food stamp benefits for November by using $4.65 billion in a contingency fund maintained by the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, the formal name for food stamps.

The judge said the administration had not worked fast enough to ensure money reached the program’s millions of recipients and that it had acted “arbitrarily and capriciously” when it decided earlier this week that it would not provide the full benefits this month.

Under McConnell’s new ruling, the government must tap into billions of additional dollars held by USDA in a separate pot of money so full SNAP benefits can be paid. The judge said those payments needed to be made to states, which administer the program, by Friday.

Post by: Frodo on November 06, 2025, 06:35:37 pm
 “Without SNAP funding for the month of November, 16 million children are immediately at risk of going hungry,” the judge said. “This should never happen in America. In fact, it’s likely that SNAP recipients are hungry as we sit here.”

On Tuesday, a coalition of cities, non-profits, unions and small businesses that brought the legal challenge complained that the administration was not complying with McConnell’s order from last week. The plaintiffs claimed that since the government admitted in court filings that reduced benefits could take weeks or months to be administered, they were violating his directive that the government work “expeditiously” to ensure November payments are made.

The judge agreed.

“It is clear to the court that the administration did not comply,” he said. “The court was clear that the administration had to either make the full payment by this past Monday, or it must ‘expeditiously resolve the administrative and clerical burdens it described in its papers.’ … The record is clear that the administration did neither.”

  “This immoral and unlawful decision by the administration has shamefully delayed SNAP payments, taking food off the table of hungry families,” said Skye Perryman, the president and CEO of Democracy Forward. “We shouldn’t have to force the President to care for his citizens, but we will do whatever is necessary to protect people and communities.”

Post by: Frodo on November 06, 2025, 06:36:00 pm
 The administration said earlier this week that it opposed using the nearly $17 billion left in the child nutrition fund because it would endanger the nation’s free and reduced-price school meals program, which serves about 29 million children a day. (The agency has transferred $750 million in tariff revenue to the WIC food assistance program for pregnant women, new moms and young children.)

But McConnell ruled on Thursday that the administration’s choice not to make full payments by dipping into the other pot of money at the USDA did not reflect reasoned agency decision-making.

He pointed specifically to the USDA’s decision to pull money from that pot to the fund the WIC food assistance program, saying that move “undermines” their argument against using it for SNAP payments.

“A rationale premised on such legal errors must be set aside as arbitrary and capricious,” McConnell said.

DOJ preparing subpoenas in investigation into John Brennan
Feds to probe — again — the U.S. intelligence assessment of Russian election interference during Trump’s first term.
 https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/doj-preparing-subpoenas-investigation-john-brennan-rcna242338

The Department of Justice is preparing to issue a series of grand jury subpoenas as part of a South Florida-based investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan and the probes by the CIA and FBI into Russian interference in the 2016 election, MSNBC has learned.

The investigation is being supervised by the U.S. attorney in South Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, in consultation with Justice Department senior staff in Washington, according to a source familiar with the matter and other information obtained by MSNBC.

The Florida-based inquiry comes two years after a special counsel appointed by then-Attorney General Bill Barr concluded a lengthy and exhaustive investigation that found no criminal wrongdoing by Brennan or any other major figure connected with the Russian election interference matter. Barr had appointed the special counsel in late 2020, during the first Trump administration.

Democratic Congresswoman Yassamin Ansari challenges Mike Johnson to face accountability by setting up a table outside his office and demanding he explain himself!
Fed up with the House Speaker’s continued refusal to end the shutdown, swear in Rep. Grijalva and release the Epstein files, the Arizona representative decided to take matters into her own hands and set up shop outside Johnson’s office with a table evocative of the famous “change my mind” meme.
“Millions of Americans have seen a lapse in their SNAP benefits. I was just home in Phoenix. And food bank lines are out the door because of this. Mike Johnson is complicit in all of this. He has completely abdicated not only his responsibility, but he's made the House of Representatives completely irrelevant!” said Ansari to the press.
“The Tuesday night election results prove that they are sick and tired of this corruption, sick and tired of a government by and for millionaires, and they’re sick and tired of Donald Trump playing with their lives. So I would hope that if Mike Johnson wants any chance of retaining the House next year, he’d take that into consideration and try to get things going.”
In response, Speaker Johnson pumped up the volume on his television to try to drown her out and later sent Capitol police to threaten her with arrest. A coward through and through, he is literally starving Americans in order to protect pedophiles, and we must never forget that. Kudos to Rep. Ansari for trying to force him to face the music!

A suspicious package was delivered to a US military base in Maryland on Thursday which caused multiple people to fall ill and be taken to the hospital, CNN has learned.

A statement from Joint Base Andrews, which is located outside Washington, DC, said that a building on the base was evacuated after an individual “opened a suspicious package.”

“As a precaution, the building and connecting building were evacuated, and a cordon was established around the area,” the statement said. “Joint Base Andrews first responders were dispatched to the scene, determined there were no immediate threats, and have turned the scene over to Office of Special Investigations. An investigation is currently ongoing.”

Several people were transported to the on-base Malcolm Grove Medical Center after the package was opened, which contained an unknown white powder, two sources familiar with the investigation said.

DOJ preparing subpoenas in investigation into John Brennan
Feds to probe — again — the U.S. intelligence assessment of Russian election interference during Trump’s first term.
 https://www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/doj-preparing-subpoenas-investigation-john-brennan-rcna242338

The Department of Justice is preparing to issue a series of grand jury subpoenas as part of a South Florida-based investigation into former CIA Director John Brennan and the probes by the CIA and FBI into Russian interference in the 2016 election, MSNBC has learned.

The investigation is being supervised by the U.S. attorney in South Florida, Jason Reding Quiñones, in consultation with Justice Department senior staff in Washington, according to a source familiar with the matter and other information obtained by MSNBC.

The Florida-based inquiry comes two years after a special counsel appointed by then-Attorney General Bill Barr concluded a lengthy and exhaustive investigation that found no criminal wrongdoing by Brennan or any other major figure connected with the Russian election interference matter. Barr had appointed the special counsel in late 2020, during the first Trump administration.

DUKE: Mamdani Is Proof We Have A Legal Immigrant Problem
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/opinion/duke-mamdani-is-proof-we-have-a-legal-immigrant-problem/ar-AA1PX3Qk?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=435bdd5196df4d92940d9251db45dc94&ei=19

Hey everyone, welcome back to Unfit to Print.

I was in New York City doing TV when the inevitable happened — Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of the city. I spent most of the day yesterday taking the train home and recording Free Media, so this morning I finally got to write down some thoughts on the communist takeover of the city.
“The problem isn’t legal immigrants, it’s just illegal immigrants. We love legal immigration!”

That’s what the GOP says in response to claims from the left that they are anti-immigrant because they support border security and deportations. I get the impulse, and I’m sure I’ve probably said it reflexively during some on-camera debate.

But … wow, how stupid.

There is an obvious problem with legal immigrants in this country. Trump said it a decade ago: THEY’RE NOT SENDING THEIR BEST. And America is gladly accepting NOT THE BEST.

Before we get into the Mamdani election, let me tell you a quick little anecdote about living in Northern Virginia. About a quarter of our residents are immigrants, according to the Commonwealth Institute. There are perks to this, namely that we have really good Peruvian chicken joints.

But driving anywhere is like the Wild West.

You’re cruising along and you see a back windshield sticker that says in all caps, “STUDENT DRIVER.” If you’re from a small town, you’re probably thinking, Oh, how cute, a teenager learning to drive! NO. 99% of the time it’s an immigrant threatening to sideswipe an entire row of cars because they are about to miss their exit, or to slam on their brakes in the middle of the highway for no particular reason.

It’s literal insanity. But our motorist problem in NoVa is nothing compared to the real problems we’re seeing with legal immigrants throughout the country. There are DSA-backed immigrant candidates running for local office who hold rallies in foreign languages, claim to be in the country illegally, and don’t “really care” if kids access sexually explicit material.

Many of the immigrants who came to the U.S. recently are entitled, refuse to assimilate, **** incessantly, hate American values and resent our Judeo-Christian traditions. Just look at Mehdi Hasan complaining that people don’t want the Muslim call to prayer blaring through the neighborhoods five times a day.
This brings us to Mamdani’s win Tuesday night. Pre-election polls showed Mamdani crushing with foreign-born voters, who make up roughly 37% of the city. NBC News exit polls similarly show that Mamdani performed best with people who have lived in New York City (note: this includes immigrants and transplants from around the country) for ten years or less. Mamdani is an immigrant himself, of course.

That’s why his insistence that his “auntie” was the real victim of 9/11, his trashing of the NYPD, and his idiotic promises of a socialist utopia to fix real affordability problems don’t raise any red flags for these voters. They have zero historical knowledge or respect for New York City’s cultural traditions.

I don’t know how we can better screen legal immigrants. I’m not a policy analyst. That would be a good thing for the Heritage Foundation to work on if it wasn’t busy planning Shabbat dinners. But I can tell you that what we’re doing now isn’t working. If we want to save this country, we need to get really serious about making sure the people who are coming here are not only the “best and brightest” but are 100% on board with the American project. Anything less and you’re going back.

That’s so true, Frodo. Illegal immigrants do not receive SNAP benefits. In fact they don’t receive any significant government help. However, if they have children born in the United States, those children are eligible for SNAP and government assistance.

People need to keep in mind that people receiving public assistance aren’t necessarily “deadbeats” or unwilling to work. A family of 4 earning $32,000 or less a year is entitled to assistance.  An employee making the federal minimum wage of $7.25 an hour earns $15,080 per year. It’s not rocket science. People need food assistance and I don’t, for one second, begrudge anyone receiving those benefits. I pay my taxes and I’ve always paid into Social Security. I don’t mind a small portion of what I’ve paid going to feed those in need. I’m sure there are a small section of people that have somehow managed to beat the system but that’s on them.

I am so very sorry that we have politicians and a sitting President unwilling to spend my money and your money to help the needy. It literally breaks my heart when we have a government willing to let people starve. I think that’s simply uncivilized and beyond contempt,
I am so very sorry that we have poli

A great example of the stupidity of Donald Trump and the incompetence of his administration is that they’re arguing to the Supreme Court that his tariffs aren’t a tax revenue–creating mechanism, but a regulatory one.

The key point is that if they’re deemed to be about tax revenue from tariffs — largely paid by American businesses and consumers — that constitutional role is clearly meant for Congress and could jeopardize Trump’s entire inept economic agenda.

So, they’re arguing that these taxes aren’t there to create revenue, but that they’re regulatory steps meant to protect American jobs.

Except, of course, for all the times Trump’s bragged about how much tax revenue the tariffs are generating — even going so far as to suggest we use that revenue to bail out farmers who are suffering from his tariff policies (irony clearly isn’t something Republicans comprehend) or to issue “rebate checks” to Americans.

Over and over, for months, Trump’s bragged (and lied) about who pays the tariffs and how much revenue they’ve brought in — with his asinine claims ranging from “billions” to “trillions,” as if the two amounts are close and largely interchangeable.

So, like with many other issues related to Trump, when a representative is forced to defend him in some kind of legal setting, what they’re claiming in front of judges is completely contradicted by the lies, conspiracies, and bullshit Donald Trump’s been saying publicly.

A great example of the stupidity of Donald Trump and the incompetence of his administration is that they’re arguing to the Supreme Court that his tariffs aren’t a tax revenue–creating mechanism, but a regulatory one.

The key point is that if they’re deemed to be about tax revenue from tariffs — largely paid by American businesses and consumers — that constitutional role is clearly meant for Congress and could jeopardize Trump’s entire inept economic agenda.

So, they’re arguing that these taxes aren’t there to create revenue, but that they’re regulatory steps meant to protect American jobs.

Except, of course, for all the times Trump’s bragged about how much tax revenue the tariffs are generating — even going so far as to suggest we use that revenue to bail out farmers who are suffering from his tariff policies (irony clearly isn’t something Republicans comprehend) or to issue “rebate checks” to Americans.

Over and over, for months, Trump’s bragged (and lied) about who pays the tariffs and how much revenue they’ve brought in — with his asinine claims ranging from “billions” to “trillions,” as if the two amounts are close and largely interchangeable.

So, like with many other issues related to Trump, when a representative is forced to defend him in some kind of legal setting, what they’re claiming in front of judges is completely contradicted by the lies, conspiracies, and bullshit Donald Trump’s been saying publicly.

It must not be very hard to keep a law license.
