Congratulations! Vividly remember when I paid my loans off

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Meanwhile, CEOs make 280 times the typical worker today.

The system is rigged.

How Trump is Giving Even More Tax Breaks to Wealthy.

But no SNAP hunger assistance for Americans.

Treasury Department and IRS are issuing rules that provide hundreds of billions of dollars in tax relief to big companies and the ultrarich.

A deep commitment to anti-wokeness

Haha.

Cruelty really is the point. Who else would go to court begging for permission to starve their own citizens? Meanwhile, they send $40 billion to Argentina, buying two private jets for ICE “Barbie,” and Trump has already burned through $1 trillion in less than two months.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

The most corrupt administration in American history.

Image of voters in a crowd at a political rally. Text below the image reads: "Democrats’ most loyal backers Tuesday night? Gen Z women Sky-high support for Democrats across the country this past election showed women 29 and under to be Democrats’ strongest supporters."

Young women voters under the age of 29 logged soaring support for Democrats in races across the country, cementing them as the most Democratic voting group in the country by age and gender. https://bit.ly/3LAHNcN

Remember the time Obama personally caught a fainting woman during his speech — rather than just blankly staring like a sociopath?

Character isn't something you tell people about.

It's something you live.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

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.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

Inside TurboTax’s 20-Year Fight to Stop Americans From Filing Their Taxes for Free Using lobbying, the revolving door and “dark pattern” customer tricks, Intuit fended off the government’s attempts to make tax filing free and easy, and created its multi-billion-dollar franchise.

The IRS is reportedly not offering its Direct File program next year. Here’s a look back at how TurboTax owner Intuit spent two decades fighting to prevent Americans from filing their taxes online for free:

Reminder that Spotify has still not gotten rid of their ICE ads. They think they can just stay silent without answering to the public. Let’s show them how wrong they are, let’s hit them where it hurts! These corporations don’t understand anything unless it hurts their bottom line.

Wow those smart folks at the White House

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion.

The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion.

Read that back.

When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

It’s clear who the aggressors are. Keep remaining nonviolent, and record EVERYTHING. All of these masked ICE thugs will be held accountable.

THEY FOUND THE ANTIFA HANDBOOK! IT'S THE CONSTITUTION!

SCOOP: Immigration Groups Weigh Boycott of Home Depot As ICE raids target the home-improvement chain, what does the company owe its customers and the immigrants who do work for them?

"'It’s killing the business,' the manager said. The manager noted that Home Depot is emphasizing “free delivery for contractors so they don’t have to risk themselves”—a sign of how the company has had to adjust."

A former consultant and DOGE staffer is now serving as chief of naval research, the top post at the Office of Naval Research, after Trump booted a decorated admiral from that position.
