The top three things Jesus was on about were feeding the hungry, healing the sick, and welcoming the stranger. Rich men have convinced so-called Christians to starve the hungry, gut health care, and deport the stranger to enrich themselves. Itโ€™s astoundingly anti-Christ.

The Constitution's Fatal Flaw was that it Assumed Americans Would Elect Moral Leaders The fatal flaw of the Constitution was its faith that Americans would choose moral leaders It presumed that honor would outweigh shame and that norms would guard what laws didn't. This was a mistake.

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

Confirmation is good, even if the thing confirmed is ... not. Honestly, we knew this.

Itโ€™s time for Republicans to come back to Washington and get back to work so we can lower healthcare costs for everyone.

For those who claim to follow Jesus: Jesus was very clear about feeding those in need.

So for those who say they are Christians, are you a follower of Jesus or aren't you? Because cheering for people to starve has nothing to do with Jesus & everything to do with hate.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients donโ€™t need to โ€œjust go get a jobโ€.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

Our current crop of republicans have forgotten this (along with large swathes of the Constitution itself that allocates which branch of government does which jobs).

More than half of CDC staffers recently fired by Trump administration have been reinstated | CNN Hundreds of staff fired from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention late Friday have been reinstated, according to the American Federation of Government Employees.

Because they were fired by idiots who had no comprehension of their work. Didn't know, didn't care. So now we scramble to rehire (like a bunch of clowns). This in no way helps the US nor makes it great.
