Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Fox gives Trump a platform during their NFL broadcast to peddle his absurd lies about "prices are coming way down", "we inherited a mess," and "our country has over $17 trillion being invested in it." Absolutely shameful for all involved.

When you live in a purple state and you overhear folks complaining at the grocery store about what families get with their EBT card...SNAP
Moms should be able to get their toddler a small birthday cake ...
GMAFB !!!! ...
YES I SAID IT LOUD & CLEAR

Let’s help TN flip this seat! @aftynbehn.bsky.social

Oh my that’s horrific.I hope those attacked survive.My heart goes out to them.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

This!!

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Pennsylvania has an important Supreme Court race coming up on Tuesday, November 4. If you live in the Keystone State, or know someone who does, vote YES to retain three justices who will protect your fundamental rights and freedoms.

Donald Trump is telling his DOJ to prosecute people involved in defeating him in 2020. He will claim the 2025 California referendum was fraudulent. He is going to try to impose voter ID and ban mail-in and early voting for 2026.

I will do everything I can in the courtroom and in public to stop him.

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?

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.

LIVE: Trump SECRET Payment’s SHOCK TIES TO EPSTEIN Revealed YouTube video by MeidasTouch

I’ll be covering the ties between the $130M Pentagon donor and Jeffrey Epstein in further detail today on @meidastouch.com. 3:30 PT/630 ET. Yes I’m on vacation, but this is too important. See you there! youtube.com/live/gJjI6FR...

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?

Total scam.

This is what @RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn & Trump refuse to even discuss, as even Marge points out.

It’s not that we can’t afford Medicare for All, it’s that we can’t afford not to do it.

How much longer are y’all gonna let this go on?

10th boat blown up in the Caribbean.

6 people dead this time.

Not a single arrest made.

Not an ounce recovered.

Not a shred of evidence provided.

Trump thought tariffs would cripple China’s exports. Turns out they had other buyers.

That was the most pathetic interview of Senator Marshall of Kansas by Jonathon Lamire on @morningjoe-msnbc.bsky.social at around 9:40AM today. Lamire actually let Marshall LIE about prices at the grocery store being stabilized. WTH ? Absolutely no push back what so ever. Incredible.

The old rulebook is gone. It's not coming back and we all need to accept that. The DOJ is weaponized. the GOP is rigging elections. Trump is literally bulldozing the White House.

Democrats need to operate under this new reality, fight hard, and play by the same rules.

A statement from Nassau, NY DA Anne Donnelly: Since first learning of George Santos' actions, I have been at the forefront of bringing him to justice. I am proud of the work my office has done, and the conviction achieved in partnership with the US Attorney's office, While the office cannot comment on ongoing investigations, suffice it to say that I remain focused on prosecuting political corruption whereever it exists regardless of political affiliation.

Via @klasfeldreports.com, George Santos may not be done with the criminal justice system.

Nothing says “America First” like selling out U.S. beef and soybean farmers to buy Argentine beef instead. #ArgentinaFirst
