The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just won’t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

Dude has a net worth north of **half-a-billion dollars** and will directly benefit from a farm bailout & he's trying to pretend he has to clip coupons to save a buck. The kind of tone deaf comments that Democrats would get crushed for but receive ZERO push back from Republicans.

Looks like old representations of the Nazi Aryan race…

Everyday citizens—NOT paid protesters—in West Asheville, NC, today, just trying to stand up for the America we all believe in… You know, the one that stands for freedom, liberty, due process, and respect for all.

As Trump wields his power, Jack Smith and his top deputies step back into the spotlight The man who brought two federal criminal cases against Donald Trump wants to testify publicly, as two of his top deputies set up a law firm to take on public corruption issues.

Spoke to two of Jack Smith's top deputies about the launch of their new firm this week.

With millions at risk of losing SNAP in the coming days, a reminder: hunger doesn't happen in isolation. When food assistance disappears, families use rent money to eat. Then come evictions and homelessness.

Housing, food, healthcare—it's all connected. Cut one thread and the whole thing unravels.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Trump administration live updates: White House Changes Course and Will Demolish Entire East Wing

The government may be shut down, but Trump is still managing to get some work done in Washington—like illegally demolishing an entire wing of the White House to build himself a ballroom.

Lifting a finger to lower your health care costs?

Not so much.

I said that in 1992 and it has held true ever since!

We have just over two weeks to pass Prop 50. And when we do, it will send a message of hope across the country, that change is possible if we do the work.

So, let’s get to it. linktr.ee/cadem

Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.

Was there not a better source for a story than the Washington Times?!? That pig sty doesn’t deserve your support.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

If those were a thing, I would have had W impeached long before 9/11…

I sure as hell did. 50 years ago and ever since.

Illegal and unconstitutional even according to Republicans on the Senate Appropriations Committee, but two things will never happen:
1) Those same Republicans actually fucking doing anything about it
2) The goddamned NYT actually saying it's illegal and unconstitutional

You need to go away and allow someone else with common sense step in. You’re not fit for office.

If that’s your standard for a candidate for office, I’m very glad that you only have one vote. Platner needs to go away. Far away.

idk who needs to hear this, but black ink tattoos on white skin are the easiest to remove & can often be fully removed in under 2 years.

Speaking as an old, southern white guy, the Nazi fanboy (former or not) is not fit for office. Let him run for dogcatcher if he feels compelled to serve.

What Cav said…👇🏻

He did the crimes, Senate and SCOTUS Republicans let him get away with them, he got reelected, Senate Republicans let him appoint his personal lawyers to run DOJ, and now he’s ordering his personal lawyers who run DOJ to give him $230 million of your money.

"The President shall, at stated Times, receive for his Services, a Compensation, which shall neither be encreased nor diminished during the Period for which he shall have been elected, and he shall not receive within that Period any other Emolument from the United States, or any of them."

In NW Ohio and across America, air traffic controllers safeguard every flight with skill and dedication. They deserve respect and a paycheck. Their service keeps our skies safe, even as Republican gridlock puts them in hardship.
 
Today on #DayOfTheController, we say THANK YOU!

I had one show up in the backyard a few weeks ago. It was the first time I had seen one in decades, and I just sat and watched him for almost an hour. Such a grand bird!
