40% of live births in America are paid for by Medicaid.

Slash that shit and then what?

Babies die. Mothers die. We all pay more for every kind of medical care and hospitals go belly up.

How. Is. That. Winning?

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

I can't even buy certain herbal teas on Snap. Can we testify in Congress . They are destroying a program that helps people eat.

Ouch 🚽

Yes, I’ve been indicted. But I don’t want people to lose sight of what got us here.

Thank you for having me, @chrislhayes.bsky.social on @allinwithchris.bsky.social to discuss why these atrocities need to end and why there needs to be real accountability.

$1 million per plate.

That's what people paid to get in to Trump's lavish Halloween party last night.

Where did that money go?

Why aren't Dems and the media asking?

SNAP assistance makes Page One in Boston ..

.. Chattanooga ..

.. Palm Beach ..

.. Asbury Park, NJ.

MUSK: “The goal of SpaceX is to establish a self-sustaining city on Mars”

Billions and billions in taxpayer dollars to this man’s company — yet we’re told there was no money to extend food assistance to those who need it here on Earth 🌎 🤷🏼

Nearly 42 million Americans lose their food stamp benefits The lapse in benefits could be temporary if the Trump administration complies with a recent court order requiring them to use emergency money to fund SNAP.

“.. One furloughed Defense Department worker, who visited a Virginia distribution site .. said it was her first time seeking help from a food bank.

“I usually donate,” she said. “The roles are reversed.”

I'm going to do a follow-up on this post about more of Epstein's threats to the media and journalists.

The head of a dead cat was left outside Graydon Carter's NYC home.

Plus the threat of an actual bullet.

All to silence Epstein's child rape.

Same as Trump is doing now.

Jimmy Carter Walked The Walk.....

Opinion | What the SNAP fight is really about Food stamps are a way to feed hungry kids, not a political bargaining chip or an engine for growth.

Oh, please, lectures about how “no one should aspire for large segments of the population to depend on government handouts,” when billionaires get the biggest government handouts of all?

The Talented Mr. Epstein Lately, Jeffrey Epstein’s high-flying style has been drawing oohs and aahs: the bachelor financier lives in New York’s largest private residence, claims to take only billionaires as clients, and flies...

🧵For those who don't know, Vanity Fair could have exposed Epstein and his child raping back in 2003.

Graydon Carter was editor then, and Vicky Ward did this article on Epstein.

But they wouldn't publish the sexual-abuse allegations because of threats from Epstein.

If you really want to hurt farmers and ranchers... get rid of SNAP.

We keep talking about how doing so would let millions of Americans go hungry. But, we're forgetting that when we fed those millions of Americans, we're keeping our ag community working.

Just saying to a Bluesky pal but it's worth repeating for anyone who interacts with kids:

Every story of someone who has overcome a difficult childhood - there's always some adult they mention who was a haven, a source of support. Those who break - they felt alone.

Love creates resilience.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Just this year, Minnesota has ranked:

A top 10 state for safety.

A top 5 state to live in.

A top 3 state for jobs.

A top 3 state to retire.

The 2nd best state to raise a family.

The 2nd best state for children.

A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet.
