Makes me sick to my stomach to see such a wasteful and tacky display while others struggle.

Worth remembering…

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?

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 37 ballroom donors won’t be remembered for generosity, but for funding a monument to authoritarian vanity during a shutdown, at a venue nicknamed after a sex trafficker, while Americans wonder how they’ll eat. History keeps receipts & their names aren’t coming off those walls

Our first ad is up and running!

We’re reaching voters all across the district — and we’re the first campaign in our race to do so in this way. Watch now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFAL...

disgusting on multiple levels.

Reminder that the new influx of pro-MAGA troll farm accounts are being ran by TPUSA operatives. It is a mix of bots and college students managing different accounts, modeled after Israel's Hasbara propaganda program.

Here are the companies destroying the east wing of the White House

This IS a big deal. Wow...
Kudos to Pope Leo.

Here’s the original clip of Ronald Reagan from April 25, 1987, where he delivered a complete and total rebuke against tariffs. Trump's calling Reagan’s words here “FAKE” and “fraudulent.” They’re 100% real. And the original clip is actually far worse for Trump, as much is left out of the ad:

Abolish

These companies are the financing the Destruction of the White House to build  an Old Mob Boss’s Tacky Ballroom.

We will eventually find out what Mossad, Epstein and Trump have on them and in the meantime vote with your wallet.

Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

christ almighty what is this guy doing

This one is painful and also very useful. youtu.be/X9x9igtVVSw?...

Mike Johnson has now had the House adjourned for 74 out of the last 86 days.

They have worked 12 days in 3 months.

Epstein Shutdown.

Tomorrow! Thursday 16th October, Stand Out for Gaza! Organise a lunchtime solidarity demonstration where you work or study. #FreePalestine #BDS

Authoritarianism is a cancer. And it's growing, metastasizing. In America. Now.

YOU are the cure. Do your part and join us on Saturday.

Do it for your country. For the Constitution. For your freedoms.

While you still can.
