Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge" "Instead of surging in Iraq, itโ€™s happening here in American cities."

โ€œMore and more cabinet members โ€” Rubio, Miller, Noem โ€” live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. Thereโ€™s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.โ€

Getty Images releases photos of Douche bag Drumpf falling asleep during yesterday's Oval Office meeting.
Imagine if President Biden had done this. The media narrative for years was that Biden was too old to do the job & now Trump is literally passing out behind its desk, all we hear is crickets.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

Itโ€™s not about what this country can or canโ€™t afford.

Itโ€™s about priorities.

This statement by JD Vance is no different from the people who claimed itโ€™s โ€œtotally reasonable and acceptableโ€ for white folks to not want Black people in their neighborhoods

Or to enact covenants which exclude Jews and Italians

Itโ€™s blatant racism-coming from the very top of the US government

To all those โ€œLet them go without food for a month, maybe theyโ€™ll get a jobโ€ people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. โ€” Should they starve to death? And then what?

China bought 27 million metric tons of soybeans from US farmers in 2024. But somehow this โ€œdealโ€ to buy significantly less is a huge victory.

The same people who think buying junk food with SNAP benefits is โ€œabusing the systemโ€ are fine with wealthy parents using vouchers to send their kids to private schools.

We are now learning how much oppression and abuse Americans will tolerate. The day will come when enough Americans will decide enough is enough and this lawless regime must be stopped. But right now too many are willing to let the lawless abuse continue.

Tweet from the Democratsโ€™ official account saying โ€œweird.โ€ Below are two screenshots labeled โ€œMike Johnson last weekโ€ and โ€œMike Johnson now.โ€ In the first, Johnson says Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House. In the second, he says Republicans arenโ€™t in charge of government.

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people?

Does anyone work anymore?"

Marc Lobliner post on X: "Why the hell are we giving food stamps to 40 million people? Does anyone work anymore?"

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employedโ€”but in jobs that pay poverty wages

โ€œWalmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonaldโ€™s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.โ€

I left Twitter two years ago and havenโ€™t regretted it once. Popping back in to say you can do it too.

Staying here means choosing to let your mind marinate in a right-wing cesspool. I donโ€™t care how savvy you imagine yourself to be, youโ€™re not immune to its distortions. Get out.

Colombia officially accuses the Trump regime of murder after it exposed that Trump and Hegseth ordered the murder of unarmed civilians in order to score political points for themselves. This was civilian murder and a war crime. We demand a criminal investigation and Trumpโ€™s arrest.
