One Halloween I dressed up as the GOP's Healthcare plan.

I never made it out of the House.

The Federal Government has taken our taxes, has taken away Government services we've paid for and now they're taking SNAP away to make people compliant. We're in a full blown Autocracy.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. Itโ€™s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Donโ€™t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

โ€œThey think that theyโ€™re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that theyโ€™re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.โ€

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): โ€œIf this is what theyโ€™re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilitiesโ€ฆ what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?โ€

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.

There must be a TON of millionaires, billionaires, and Republicans in the Epstein Files for them to be willing to let Trump destroy our Nation to ensure the Epstein Files arenโ€™t released. #FDT

Mockler: Iโ€™m 23 years old, and Gen Zers have spent all of our formative years living in a political system thatโ€™s purely dysfunctional. People in my generation see the president posting memes online rather than actually negotiating with the other side.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob bossโ€™s network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

Wow!

Personally I'd pay the money to keep myself and my family safe.

The government should put in laws against gouging during an emergency.

I'm watching many tourists being interviewed after hurricane Melissa went through Jamaica.

I question why they didn't leave a week ago when they knew it was coming?

My two takeaways on this:

1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.

2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

Itโ€™s corporate greed. Itโ€™s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."
