Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Ok. If this was what Schumer and friends planned for when they caved, then I’ll give them a pass. Adelita being sworn in and signing the petition is everything today !!!

I like her already. She’s going to be a great public servant.

Having served with Raul Grijalva and worked with him on environmental matters, it is a particularly joyful to see his daughter Adelita take up his mantle in Congress. I am happy for Raul and the nation. Finally.

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

How to Opt-Out of Airlines Selling Your Travel Data to the Government The Airlines Reporting Corporation (ARC), owned by major U.S. airlines, collects billions of ticketing records and sells them to the government to be searched without a warrant. I managed to opt-out…

When you book a flight through major travel sites, a data broker owned by U.S. airlines will sell details about your flightβ€”your name, credit card used, and where you’re flying to the government.

We found out how to opt-out of ARC selling your travel data. A guide:

Here’s how Obamacare works. Based on your income, the Federal Gov contributes to your monthly premium. I used it for 2 years. If Republicans cut that funding, your $1200 a month premium that you paid $200 for will soar without that money. Insurance companies will also lose when ppl cancel Policies.

More bad news from Trump's government shutdown:

"Air traffic controllers are working their jobs without any pay amid Day 29 of the government shutdown. The 14,000 controllers across the country received $0 deposits to their bank accounts just yesterday."

A tweet from Robert Reich states:
β€œThe richest man on earth owns X.
The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.
The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.
The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.
See the problem here?”

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

That barista who makes your coffee just right.

The cook at your favorite diner.

Your kind neighbor who is on deployment.

They all have jobs. They all need SNAP to make ends meet.

When Trump & the GOP deride those who need some help, understand who they are talking about.

It’s people like you.

What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new β€œweapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.
