The Democratic Party, if we want to defeat MAGA, must be big enough to include liberal and moderate voices. We should be able to debate the issues and decide by voting, and not by labelling each other as too liberal or conservative.

We need to find solutions. Republicans want to write them off, and say tough shit if they canโ€™t earn enough to survive. We need to reward work, provide income support. Laissez faire economics wonโ€™t work, and itโ€™ll just get worse without intervention.

Our economy is not working for a large percentage of Americans. Brookings found that 44% of Americans ages 18 to 64 earn low wages. Wages so low that they canโ€™t afford to buy a house, theyโ€™re one illness or accident away from bankruptcy. Many of them receive SNAP benefits.

O Canada just brought a tear to this old US veteranโ€™s eyes. I hope that they never have to experience anything like our MAGA insanity.

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but arenโ€™t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

Q: What do you call it when many people in multiple events are deliberately killed on the open seas outside of a declaration of war?

A: Murder. Mass murder. Crimes against humanity.

Iโ€™ve been thinking a lot about a new kind of polling Iโ€™d like to see. We have polling that measures public opinion, which is obviously important, but Iโ€™d love to see a little more empirical work on public knowledge: what do voters know about politics and policy?

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

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.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob bossโ€™s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

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.

Hate to break it to you, Marge, but there ainโ€™t no Republican health care plan, other than gutting Obamacare and Medicaid, and pushing people off traditional Medicare into managed Medicare plans. The poorer the district, the more who die because they lost their coverage. The GOP Darwinian plan.

Anyone who would so nonchalantly tear down a huge chunk of the White House would sell ANY and all top secret information to any foreign power.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
โ€œFACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the worldโ€™s largest oil reserves.โ€

Fentanyl and coke are the new โ€œweapons of mass destructionโ€ lie. Itโ€™s Iraq all over again, folks. Itโ€™s always about controlling the oil.

To all those โ€œLet them go without food for a month, maybe theyโ€™ll get a jobโ€ people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. โ€” Should they starve to death? And then what?

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people:

Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law โ€œscholarsโ€ and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he canโ€™t but Trump can. (Itโ€™s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

Whenever you hear something like this, change Trump Administration to Biden Administration and California to Mississippi and ask yourself how many armed men would be shooting at the White House right now

While such a reaction would be insane, the idea that Trump has declared war on half of us isn't

I had forgotten how history sometimes hits you like a gut punch.

Today, I hit a dead end on finding the origins of a formerly enslaved man born in Phillips County, Arkansas in 1855. The 1860 slave register shows 706 five-year-old boys held in slavery. Seven hundred and six

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.

Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Trump could have been an informant in a different area, such as his real estate dealings with Russian mafiya. Informants arenโ€™t squeaky clean, and they may make deals to avoid prosecution.

8. Rather than giving Ukraine arms, Trump insists on Europe or Ukraine paying for all.
9. Even so, Trump has insisted on Ukraine not attacking Russia with arms from the US.
Clearly, Trump is not on Ukraine's side but on Russia's. /4

5. Trump sacked the best US intelligence analysts on Russia & Ukraine relying on his own daydreams instead.
6. Trump failed to come up with any sensible peace proposal & thus failed.
7. Trump even blamed the war on Zelensky & Biden rather than Putin. /3
