They must be realizing that their own constituents will not react kindly to being starved.

USDAโ€™s refusal to use its contingency fund means SNAP will run out on Nov. 1 and leave 42 million Americans at risk of going hungry.

Food pantries have already seen 12x more traffic than normal. Itโ€™s time for the House to return to session, vote to ensure SNAP funding, and ensure our kids are fed.

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)

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) declaring he won't call the House of Representatives into session until JANUARY at the earliest, means this isn't a shut-down.
This is a #RepublicanCOUP.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans โ€” including 20 million children โ€” from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Donโ€™t let him lie his way out of this.

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

Utah is now building what many human rights activists are concerned will be a forced labor camp for homeless people.

Rather than address a broken system that is harming countless Americans, the gop want to punish those victimized by this broken system.

Miscarried is too passive a verb for what happened to these women. ICE killed their unborn children in the womb.

Spending tax dollars on $175M private jets, $1B to renovate a private jet, $150M on golf trips, & other wasteful spending while Americans face going without food due to SNAP benefits not going out in Nov is a gop policy choice.

@merkley.senate.govโ€™s recent filibuster lasted for 22 hours and 37 minutes (or longer, depending on the source) as he spoke on the Senate floor in protest of Trump's actions during a government shutdown.
His #CupOfJoe was full of disdain oven Trumpโ€™s authoritarianism.
MORE PLEASE!

No, no, no, NO!! NO children should have to see their parents being treated this way. I just want to gather these three up and hold them close, and protect them. How can they treat these kids this way?

1. โ€œNo swastika tattoos on senatorsโ€ is actually a very reasonable line.
2. Itโ€™s not normal to have a โ€œNazi phase.โ€
3. Your โ€œNazi phaseโ€ wasnโ€™t cute or harmless, even if it was limited to posting. You were just a kid? So what? So were the Jewish & Black kids who had to see your hate posts.

So the president of the United States of America posts a video of him, dressed as a king, flying a plane lane that dumps shit on the No Kings marchers, and no MSM thinks this was worth reporting? Am I missing something?
