The average American family has ~$6000 of their taxes go to corporate subsidies and ~$100 of their taxes go to SNAP for 42 million hungry Americans.

Remember—we don't lack money to serve our neighbors in need, we lack the money needed to satisfy billionaire greed.

I think we all need to take a minute or two to pray for Jamaica as they face the brutal face of Hurricane Melissa. No parties. No politics. Just humans praying for humans. 🙏🙌💗

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

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.

The wealth of the richest 1% in America just hit a record $52 trillion. These are the people getting huge tax cuts — paid for by cuts to health care for millions of Americans. Every lie Trump and Republicans are telling right now about the shutdown is meant to distract you from this.

The average age of U.S. homebuyers is now 56, up from 49 last year.

In 1981, the year trickledown economics began, it was 31.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

“The demonstrations were very small.”

I have never seen such a perfect image

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

WAKE UP, AMERICA!

CHICAGO — Outside an elementary school during dismissal… horrifying. What have we become?

IN HONOR OF FRIENDSHIP MONTH:

djt: "We have certain things in common, Jeffrey."

Epstein: "Yes we do, come to think of it."

djt: "A pal is a wonderful thing. Happy Birthday- and may every day be another wonderful secret."

And by "wonderful secret", he means raping children.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

This is due to a law signed by Ronald Reagan and has nothing to do with this shutdown fight.

But consider this...

Emergency Medicaid spending in 2023 cost $3.8 billion — just 0.4% of total Medicaid spending.

Now what about the $20 billion taxpayers are giving to Argentina?

Probably just a coincidence.

If you're worried the shutdown will collapse our fragile democracy, that ship sailed 11/5/2024. You can't save what's already destroyed. Stop clinging to a dream that doesn't exist. Move through the ruins with your voice loud and head high. It won't be easy, nothing worth fighting for ever is.

This signature?

The flew the entire military leadership in so they could see for themselves that the Secretary of Defense is a mouthbreathing dipshit and the Commander in Chief is a senile, weak old man who might keel over at any moment.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.

Tried to get my real ID. I had my license, my SS card and my birth certificate.

I was not allowed to get my real ID because my birth name is different than my married name. Now I have to go dig up a marriage certificate. You know who wouldn’t have to do this? A man.

Never change your last name.

Not only do we routinely see kids dying in ICE custody, now they’re missing nearly 1000 people who were being held in Alligator Alcatraz?

HOW THE HELL is this not a stop the presses moment?

We can only hope it’s not a Brubaker moment.

Susan, I hope I look as good as you at 102!
