ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

Today marks 30 days of the Republicans’ shutdown.

Now, 42 million Americans, including 3.5 million Texans, are at risk of losing access to SNAP.

Enough with the games. It’s time for them to show up and do their damn jobs.

My daughter receives SNAP benefits. She doesn't track the news. She called me in tears over not getting her benefits. She did NOT vote for the current administration.

It's amazing to see what action happens when names are actually named if only there were anyone who knows any names now would be a great time to name them or you can just write a book about it after your dead πŸ“š

Supreme Court will consider whether people who regularly smoke pot can legally own guns The Supreme Court will consider whether people who regularly smoke marijuana can legally own guns, the latest firearm case to come before the court since its 2022 decision expanding gun rights.

Well, this is not going to go over so well with the Libertarian/MAGA crowd

I'm glad they are taking up gun control, but based on weed use? πŸ€”

That might be the most Boomer thing I have ever heard.
