Food pantries have already seen 12x more traffic than normal. Itโs time for the House to return to session, vote to ensure SNAP funding, and ensure our kids are fed.
@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalistโs stupid question about #SNAP! ๐ช๐ผ

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in ๐บ๐ธ
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but arenโt 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. Donโt let him lie his way out of this.

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

For all the people who say they are too busy or too afraid to protest in the streets, here is an easy way to protest that will also save you money. Remember, the billionaires are only billionaires because WE spend money. Join the economic blackout Nov. 25 to Dec. 2
Rise up! Resist!

@merkley.senate.govโs 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 Trumpโs authoritarianism.

1. โNo swastika tattoos on senatorsโ is actually a very reasonable line.
2. Itโs not normal to have a โNazi phase.โ
3. Your โNazi phaseโ wasnโt 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.
Itโs beyond pathetic. The mainstream media, on the whole, is comprised of feckless cowards and shameless hypocrites.

Just so weโre all clear on the gravity and historical significance of what Trump has done to the East Wing of the Peopleโs House.
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?
