Food seems important. Whether eating it or growing it. But in between the government shutdown and the tariff trade wars, Trump and the GOP have endangered both farmers and 40 million Americans who rely on supplemental nutrition programs or SNAP. In Aransas, soybean farmers are taking their own lives in places, while cattle ranchers are wondering why the U.S. is vowing to buy Argentine beef.

The Bitchuation Room ·

2025/10/15

This administration is unwell. Their online posting habits are evidence enough. If they were a friend we’d probably recommend touching grass. Or therapy. But they are not our friends but rather wannabe fascists who are disappearing immigrants and demonizing anyone who disagrees with them. In this deep dive Francesca explores how Trump’s propaganda derives from the very bowels of the internet that Trump’s victories have pulled from: the gamers, the incels, the 4chan and 8chan white nationalists

The Bitchuation Room ·

2025/09/17

As information about Charlie Kirk’s assassin trickles in, so do the bizarre inconsistencies. A destroyed letter? A very on the nose text thread. And there still doesn’t appear to be evidence of the “hardened leftist” narrative, but that hasn’t stopped the entire regime from putting anyone left of center in their crosshairs.

Every fantasy franchise has an insufferable part of its fan base. But this one takes the cake. Powerful conservatives are obsessed with The Lord of The Rings.

JD Vance has called himself
