You may not be able to afford rent and groceries, and your health insurance may be about to skyrocket in 42 days, but the good news is that the Saudis got F-35s, nuclear tech, and security guarantees after putting hundreds of millions in Trump’s pocket.

Donald Trump’s economy. Where McDonalds is too expensive for 30-year-olds. The Golden Age.

No President in our history has withheld SNAP benefits during a federal shutdown until now. People going hungry in this instance is a choice President Trump has made.

Dear American farmers and SNAP recipients,

Donald Trump does not give a shit about you.

But he gave this wacko in Argentina $40 BILLION

As poor Americans are bracing for a famine, we see GOP working earnestly to block not only SNAP food relief but also taking away affordable health care. Sadly, the burden of all this is falling on the states that have supported Trump most; his policies are hurting his own.

JD's family has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date. Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term. All our tax dollars. But you think single moms getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

If I were to defy a court order, I'd be in jail, not building a ballroom.

Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

FYI: Gutting SNAP benefits is outlined in Chapter 10 of Project 2025.

Remember, this is all by design.
ALL OF IT.

REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.

In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

I miss having a REAL President.

Nancy Pelosi is retiring in 2026.

Nancy Pelosi will go down in history as the Speaker of the House who impeached Trump twice, and I enjoyed watching every minute of each one.πŸ’™

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103.

12 days of work in 103 days.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I read this, listened to it, then read it again. I very much hope that people are receptive to this message. I have not read a better case for what is needed to win elections again. I know that will take make conversations but this essay is an excellent place to start.

Trump’s tax cut for billionaires is adding $425 Billion - monthly - to the national debt, and we’re fighting amongst ourselves for scraps.

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

If Republicans don’t act 24 million Americans will be devastated by sky rocketing health care costs.

Speaker Johnson needs to call his people back and stop covering up for pedophiles.

ICE stops family at gunpointβ€”smash car window on top of newborn baby.
