Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

It's frustrating to see so much need while the House remains in indefinite recess, but the need is there.

I deeply appreciate and give my thanks to the organizations stepping up to help in our community, including those like United Community Alexandria.

I LOVE THIS 🤩

In advance of Trump shutting down SNAP, this is a way you can help your neighbors.

Remember when Democrats cut childhood hunger in half, and then Republicans were like, "F— those kids. Billionaires need permanent tax cuts!"

And we were all like, "Wow, that's just evil."

And they were all like, "We're just getting started."

And independent voters were like, "Bet."

And now, this

This seems like a salient point.

It’s all gross gross gross… but that’s an understatement.

TY @crockett.house.gov for always saying what needs to be said.

You got that right! It’s hasn’t even been a full year of this mess yet!

Looks like a war zone

There's that good ol' Talibangelical hypocrisy again.

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

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 employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.

that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.

but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

I'm wondering if there's a way for local @indivisible.org @50501movement.bsky.social #NoKings groups to organize food support?

Yes on 50 above the 580 freeway.

It was a damp but fun Yes on 50 visibility gathering on the 580 pedestrian overpass. It was raining just before we got there so I left the blue jacket in the car. It was windy but nice with lots of honking. Come out next Sunday! 💙

From Russia with money: Silicon Valley distances itself from oligarchs Silicon Valley investors with ties to Russia are now distancing themselves as fears rise of being connected to sanctioned oligarchs.

Masha Bucher, once a Putin youth activist, reinvented herself as a Silicon Valley investor. Her firms handled Epstein’s PR while courting Russian capital. She called it “toxic money” after 2014, yet leaked records show ongoing travel and links to oligarch funds. #OpDeatheaters cont.. 1/2

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The ICEmen were presumably looking for undocumented immigrants. Retes’s driver’s license, which he says the ICEmen never asked to see, identifies him as “Veteran Army.” His license plate includes “DV”: disabled veteran. While ICE’s warriors were trying and ultimately succeeding in smashing his driver’s-side window (the better to pepper spray him), they apparently did not notice his rear window’s “Iraq Combat Veteran” sticker.
