How Does It Feel? Marjorie Taylor Greene is just one of the marginalized MAGA American activists who are concerned because Trump is doing exactly what they elected him to do.

What's the difference between a "welfare queen" & a food-insecure SNAP recipient?
inner-city clinics & rural hospitals
gov't handouts & "aid to struggling farmers?"
COINTELPRO & weaponizing the DOJ?
overpolicing & military occupation?
A Fascist & Trump?

Nothing...

We told y'all

Btw as with his not releasing his taxes, it is a way of not releasing the Epstein files since it is “under investigation.” He looks guiltier than ever.

NEW: Google is hosting a CBP app that uses facial recognition to identify immigrants, and tell local cops whether to contact ICE about the person, while also removing apps designed to warn communities about ICE officials.

“Google wanted to ‘not be evil’ back in the day. Well, they're evil now."

I love this so freaking much.

Bullshit. You orchestrated a complete folding to Republican demands.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

In all fairness he was 11 or 12 in 2002. Pretty sure I wanted a pony at that age

The Shutdown of U.S.A.I.D. Has Already Killed Hundreds of Thousands The short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” tells the story of what goes when aid goes.

Today @TheNewYorker released our short documentary “Rovina’s Choice” online.

It traces the ongoing effects of the sudden shutdown of US foreign aid through the story of one mother in Kenya as she seeks to save her daughter from sickness and starvation. 🎥 1/ www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

It's not a shutdown then, it's a coup

The shutdown is ultimately a legislative negotiation about a budget.
Hard to resolve it when the controlling party in one part of Congress refuses to negotiate, will not re-open the House, is not in DC.

DAY 31 OF GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN

They don’t even pretend to care. This is the only story. You can’t open the government if the House refuses to show up.

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him

There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there.

The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.

Maybe it’s a drop in the ocean, and I don’t know if it’s available in all communities, but Lyft offers free or reduced cost rides to Food banks and other community resources. @lyft.bsky.social you really should publicize this

Chris Murphy: "There's a lot of history that has taken place in the East Wing & it was just destroyed without any conversation in the public, without any consent of Congress. It's absolutely illegal. That visual is powerful b/c you're watching destruction of the rule of law as those walls come down"

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

YouTube video by Arizona Attorney General's Office AG Mayes Demands Speaker Johnson Swear In Adelita Grijalva | The Lead with Jake Tapper CNN

Time is up. I gave Speaker Mike Johnson two days to swear in Adelita Grijalva. Arizona's 7th congressional district 813,000 Arizonans are now being taxed without representation. I have lawyers downstairs right now drafting litigation.

What to know about SNAP benefits amid government shutdown Federal officials warn that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program could be at risk for funding amid the government shutdown.

States have been told not to send transmissions to state EBT vendors by end of October.

This means SNAP benefits would not be distributed to anyone who qualifies.

I know my state and many others are reaching out for further guidance. This would send 40+ million Americans into food insecurity.

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents.

ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities.

The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

If CPD grants was 1st, 2nd at HUD to receive the boot was the Office of Environment and Energy. I know you’re all super surprised based on the name right? But this office was doing some pretty incredible work guiding HUD policy around floodplain management, energy codes & building technology.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

Senate is back in session today.

1/ So a quick 🧵on where things are at on the shutdown.

You get a lot of propaganda and spin thrown at you, so I want to give you the real, behind-the-scenes tea.

I haven't laughed this hard in a while.

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in.

The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight.

They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

Wow 👇
