The cuts to SNAP benefits are galling. In Doylestown we're having traffic issues from the increasing lines outside food banks. It's the same across Bucks as food insecurity increases. This isn't a statement to score political points. This is what's happening to people in Fitzpatrick's district.

TIL: When the Original Star Wars Trilogy finally aired on Chilean TV in 2003, the network spliced custom beer commercials into the films themselves to avoid cutting to commercial breaks. these additional scenes turn Obi-Wan & Luke into raging space alcoholics who are constantly shotgunning booze.

A giant banner of Trump is now ominously hanging at the front of the Dept. of Agriculture. It's not the kind of thing American presidents do. It's more in line with what you typically see in places like North Korea -- and it's the latest sign that America might be sliding into autocracy. #Velshi

Random reminder that banning members of Congress from trading stock is a total no brainer. They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you. Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

for the past few months the us has been ruled by a lawless triumvirate--a mobster (trump), a plutocrat (musk), and a commissar (miller)--haphazardly implementing, respectively, a great leap backward (tariffs), a kleptocratic shock therapy (doge), and a gestapo-spearheaded ethnic cleansing (ice)...

I hear the Chicago pope is preparing an encyclical on how single stair buildings bring us closer to the kingdom of heaven. Also argues that mandatory parking minimums and large minimum lot sizes “were invented by Satan to turn our cities into Hell.” Huge if true.

Costco is a really popular subject for business-success case studies but I feel like business guys kinda lose interest when the upshot of the study is like "just operate with scrupulous integrity in all facets and levels of your business for four decades" and not some easy-to-fix gimmick

Trump says he’ll use revenue from tariffs to “offset” more big tax cuts. Those tax cuts will disproportionately benefit wealthy Americans and big corporations. But revenue raised from tariffs will be coming disproportionately from average working people. See how this works?

Dear Secretary Rubio, Hi, Tufts professor here. As someone who was on campus during the time in question, your claims about what Rumeysa Ozturk did bear no resemblance to reality. So did you just revoke her visa because she co-authored an anodyne op-ed that never mentioned Hamas? Sincerely, DWD
