I KNEW IT!! Well deserved

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

😭😭😭

😭😭😭

The more episodes you watch in a row, the more ads they throw in. Only watch 1 or 2 at a time to avoid. Or simply abandon Amazon, as it deserves

A color photo of Governor Pritzker and a hand-basket filled with groceries is accompanied by this quote: “Republicans have done something even more insidious: They’ve decided to shut down the SNAP machines. So, even if we were to put money into SNAP accounts, they couldn’t be accessed by someone who has a SNAP card!”

Trump’s policies starve & kill children here & abroad.
IMPEACH HIM

We are the bad example now! May everyone else in the world swing left to counteract us.

It was great being back in Norfolk to help get out the vote for @abigailspanberger.com for Governor.

Dogs make amazing arm rests 🥰 happy Halloween 🎃

SKWEEEEEEEEMING, I LOVE IT SO!!

If you just banked that coffee money every week and denied yourself every other instance of life’s gastronomic pleasures, however small and ordinary, you could save enough to make the down payment on that starter house in [checks notes] five hundred and seventy three years

I love how Rep. Joe Neguse reframed this question.

Everyone who makes money on housing understands that strict zoning and politicized permitting is good for landlords and bad for tenants.

It will be worth noting which politicians Wal-Mart pays for and how they move wrt SNAP since Wal-Mart is set to lose billions if they don’t fund SNAP.

Because guess which company actually gets 25% of SNAP payouts, as well as underpays their employees to the extent that a large chuck need SNAP?

SINGLE STAIR REFORM VICTORY in San Jose!!

just so everyone knows, I know JD Vance received food stamps (SNAP) growing up by reading the Wikipedia article on him.

SPOOPYYYYYY

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.

If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.

Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

I hope all the shenanigans with SNAP lead to a huge (appropriate) rise in minimum wage. It shouldn't be legal to pay employees so little that they work full time and still qualify for food assistance.

It's true. I used to make so many things when I had an extra room back in college, now we've got 3 people living in a 1 bedroom and it suuuuucks.

Vote YES on Prop 50 in California !

The Secretary of the Treasury justifying the president's tariff hike on Canada by saying President Reagan's voice is a psyop, while this administration is illegally allowing TikTok to continue running, is something to behold.

I don't understand how anyone can make the case that we still have constitutional government at this point. The president is collecting revenue *AND* spending money without Congressional authorization, refusing to spend money that Congress appropriated, disobeying whatever laws he feels like.

“If you live in a 15 minute city but your barista can’t afford to live there too, you don’t live in a 15 minute city, you live in a theme park.“

ICE really likes shooting members of the cloth.

This was also in Alameda. So in addition to the shooting of the U-HAUL truck driver, the shooting that also hit a protester.

The White House movie theater demolition ends a storied era in presidential history The vintage movie venue was destroyed this week as part of the Trump administration's plan to build a new $300 million ballroom. Former President Bill Clinton called it the office's "best perk."

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

Pentagon to use $130 million anonymous donation to help pay troops The amount is less than a day’s worth of salaries. Fiscal policy experts say the move also raises legal questions.

The Pentagon accepted an anonymous $130 million donation to help pay troops' salaries.

Fiscal policy experts are questioning the legality of the move.
 
"In general, you may not spend money that has been donated because the Constitution and the Anti-Deficiency Act say that you can't."
