Elon Musk’s new pay package would feed all forty million Americans on SNAP for the next ten years. He wouldn’t notice the difference but the country would.

From the Berkshires to the Cape and everywhere in between, there are people in need β€” and people ready to help.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.

No, they don’t have to.

β€œAccording to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

β€œSNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

I suspect the MAGA government decided to launch all these Bluesky accounts tonight to try to bait people in advance of No Kings.

These people have incurable 4chan brain and this is how they operate.

Block them. Do not engage. Do not give them what they want.

Does anyone have a calculator that would tell people what their premiums would be without the subsidies? I have seen examples of the huge increases, but I think it would be very effective for people to be able to put in their plan to find out what their own cost would be.

Letting the health care tax credits expire would devastate American families β€” and we’re making that crystal clear by giving you the data.

We’ve built graphics showing how much costs would rise in every GOP district.

Let’s start with Mike Johnson (R-LA):

Every ridiculous new Trump AI video further highlights how desperate he is for distractions from the Epstein files.

If we could distinguish between your federal officers and yahoos who buy their gear off Amazon and wear masks to hide their illegal kidnappings, that would be helpful.
