I keep seeing posts here saying essentially this (and I 100% agree). Who is saying people on SNAP shouldn’t be able to eat certain things and where are they saying it? If it’s elected officials saying this, they need to be voted out!

The two are not unrelated.

Indeed he is an embarrassment to this country.

Not only should the 25th amendment apply but also should be impeached for ignoring court orders, ordering Texas to gerrymander their maps, illegally setting tariffs, illegally murdering Venezuelans in boats….

If it's a primary I would vote the candidate that isn't being 2 faced and isn't selling out an entire group of people. If it came down to Newson vs a MAGA candidate then of course I'd vote for Newsom. And hope he'd do some serious soul searching.

"Likely unlawful" because they were preliminary assessments. When the final assessment comes out stating it is in fact illegal, how do they force the release of funds? Even though Trump is immune from prosecution, no one else is. We need to start going after those acting on his illegal orders.

JFC, you'd think the poor guy was a super violent criminal the way they're treating him.

Immigrant rights are human rights. Minority rights are human rights. Gay rights are human rights. Trans rights are human rights. We shouldn't be picking and choosing whose rights are worthy.

I hear you, but Newsom's trying to say how inclusive and compassionate Dems are while treating trans people as other. Some people are really damned tired of hearing they need to wait to be treated as equals.

Thank you Congressman Joe Negus for telling it like it is!

Seems to me if you want your partner to convert to your religion, you should have that conversation privately BEFORE you get married.

Well I’m horrified by pretty much everything Leavitt says and does.

They’re not stopping at β€œjust here illegally”, it’s more like β€œanyone that isn’t white”.

Plus inflation and too many people losing jobs (or d fear losing losing jobs) - no one can afford a new EV.

I have long thought C level salaries should be regulated. It should be illegal for them to earn more than 20, 50, 100 times their average employee salary.

It's not a new model and it didn't work out so well the first time.

Of course he did.

Why isn’t anyone in Congress putting forth Articles of Impeachment? How many more illegal things does he need to do?

I just had shoulder surgery and am in week 4 of 6 wearing a sling with pillow. This hoodie is brilliant! I’d add a zipper in front, can’t lift your arm over your head post-op. I have gotten a few very loose T-shirts over my head with help, but generally need to stick with fyi t button shirts.

I like the idea of a mass blackout but think a full week is just not feasible for many people. Some (many?) cannot afford to not work for one day, let alone 5 or 7 days.

Why are we paying $20B to prop up an international authoritarian leader instead of spending money the Dept of Agriculture already has set aside to feed hungry Americans? And, I’ll note, would also help small grocers.

Great point! Texas Dems standing up feels like it was decades ago....

How about we help working people to not need food stamps by ensuring they receive a living wage? And actually tax the ultra wealthy to help pay for SNAP benefits for those who cannot work?

Unconscionable for any employer to not pay their employees a living wage. But especially evil when it's a (supposedly) democratic government not properly paying it's troops.

So can we the people sue the government not doing their job? I fear we cannot wait for the mid-terms.

Congress needs to act, only they should be enacting tariffs.

Seriously wondering why we pay federal taxes if our money is being used to illegally kill people, bail out an authoritarian regime, and not for food and health care for Americans.

Sanders is just pointing out the hypocrisy and how ridiculous that it is that anyone actually thought Trump cares about the American people.

JFC. The House needs to get back in session, release the Epstein files, and impeach him already!

Oh geez. Were they trying to talk you out of getting vaccinated?!

Although I will say both vaccines and hand washing are important, especially if you’re immunocompromised.
