The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
β€œFACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Fentanyl and coke are the new β€œweapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

House speaker has a hell of an excuse for not showing up to work House Speaker Mike Johnson is still defending his asinine decision to keep the House in recess for more than a month. "House Republicans are doing some of the most meaningful work of their careers,οΏ½οΏ½

Mike Johnson says House Republicans are doing β€œmeaningful work” during their monthlong recess.

Yeahβ€”nothing screams β€œpublic service” like hiding from your constituents while the government’s shut down.

Merkley: "What we've seen is that democracies no longer die bc men w/guns go in and take it over. Instead, it's electeds who erode the separation of power. If you have a rubber-stamp Congress & courts that deliver more power to the executive, suddenly you have an authoritarian state. It's here now."

The image shows an X post by a user named "Thursday" (@ennui365) from 20 hours ago. It depicts a person standing outdoors on a grassy area, holding a sign that reads "CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM IS THE AMERICAN TALIBAN" in bold red letters. The person is wearing a red and white cap, a black jacket, black pants, and white sneakers. The background includes trees, a building, and other people, suggesting a public gathering or protest.

The orange clown thinks that democrats won’t vote if they can’t vote by mail. I think most democrats and independents feel like me. I will crawl through broken glass to vote to get him out of office.

My wounds will heal but my country may not.
