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.

Republicans ripped away health care from 15 million Americans.

Not a single newborn baby should lose health care.

Not a single senior should be tossed out of their nursing home.

Not a single rural hospital should close.

Congress must restore Americans’ health care.

Trump and Republicans control the White House and both houses of Congress, any shut down will be due to their failure of leadership.

Nexstar, the largest TV broadcaster, needs Donald Trump's approval for a $6 billion deal.

If approved, Nexstar would control TV stations reaching 80% of households — violating the cap set by Congress to protect against monopolies.

This censorship of Kimmel reeks of corruption.

Graphic where Elizabeth Warren says:  No one should go bankrupt because they got sick and needed to see a doctor.And if the Republicans want to shut down government so that they can keep increasing costs and cutting health care, then they need to explain that – Not just to us, they need to explain it to the American people.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than restore health care funding.

If Republicans want Democrats to help pass their government spending bill, they must bring health care back for millions of people in this country.

The hypocrisy from Trump's FCC Chair is staggering but unsurprising.

It should be clear by now that to MAGA, protecting freedom of speech was always secondary to wielding the power to punish anyone who questions this regime.

Trump scrapped a Biden rule requiring airlines to compensate passengers for flight delays after the industry gave millions to Trump's inauguration and hired Trumpworld lobbyists.

This isn't about policy anymore.

It's about who can pay off Trump and get in his ear.

So, let's get this straight. Out of 144 mass shootings, 7 of those shooters were trans. In all 144 cases, guns were used. But they claim, banning trans from owning guns will solve this problem? What about the other 137 cases? Stop playing games. Stop blaming everyone and everything except GUNS.

Why has Trump been attacking unions and workers’ rights?

He wants working people to feel helpless and divided.

Trump and his billionaire backers realize that the collective power of a unified labor movement outweighs their own power.

Know this: Workers outnumber the oligarchs.

If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:

—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform

We don't have to live like this.

Interior of a slave-ship - engraving published in the Pictorial Times, 1843, p. 178

🧵: In late August 1619, the first documented ship carrying enslaved Africans docked in Point Comfort, VA. While this is the first documented, slavery has existed as long as civilization. Slavery is not "woke." It is not something you can erase just because it makes you uncomfortable. (1/3)

While Wall Street executives rake in $1,769 an hour, the workers who help take care of our kids get paid less than parking lot attendants.

That is crazy.

No job is more important than raising our nation’s children. Child care workers deserve a living wage.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%. 

That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.

The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

The Big Beautiful Bill gives Meta a $15 billion check.

That’s more than our federal government spends on child care in an entire year.

If we invested that much in child care & early childhood education, we’d create stronger futures for everyone, not just Mark Zuckerberg.
