Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

“I Lost Everything”: Venezuelans Were Rounded Up in a Dramatic Midnight Raid but Never Charged With a Crime Authorities said Tren de Aragua “terrorists” had taken over the building. A ProPublica investigation found little evidence to back up the government’s claims. For the first time, the Venezuelans arres...

"300 agents stormed the building, rappelled from a helicopter, knocked down doors and hurled flash-bang grenades. Agents ziptied and detained many US citizens for hours..."

Prosecutors have not filed a *single* criminal charge against anyone arrested that night:

BREAKING: 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims are urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Adelita Grijalva.

STOP IGNORING THE EPSTEIN VICTIMS!

the tone deafness is beyond parody

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.

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.

For the last several months, federal workers have been through hell. Things have only gotten worse during the shutdown.

When I left the Department of Labor, I shared some parting words with the civil servants who worked alongside me.

These words of gratitude feel especially relevant today.

Newsom warns Californians' SNAP benefits could be delayed because of federal shutdown Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office said Californians could see their benefits delayed if the federal government shutdown is not ended by Thursday.

5.5 million Californians could have empty tables on November 1, but it doesn't have to be this way. Congressional Republicans could come to the bargaining table instead of refusing to discuss their catastrophic cuts to Medicaid, ACA subsidies, and SNAP itself.

Swear her in!!!

This is what solidarity looks like. Together, we will win.

Big Beautiful Bill' is deadly to vulnerable groups across the U.S. Work requirements, increased red tape, and reduced eligibility for safety net programs will disproportionately impact poor people

The cuts and job loss penalties in the Republican budget aren't just a threat to the 71M Americans who count on #Medicaid.

They're also a threat to the future of democracy as Congressional Republicans hold our health care hostage during the government shutdown.

Make it make sense. [Cartoon by Adam Zyglis]

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva on Mike Johnson refusing to swear her in: "The excuses depending on the day keep changing ... the timing is the fact that I am the 218th signer to the discharge petition for the Epstein files"

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that.

No phones, no staff, nothing.

I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

"Conversion therapy" is a polite name for something that isn’t conversion and isn’t therapy. It’s abuse.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

Federal agents reporting to Secretary Noem have spent weeks snatching up families, scaring law-abiding residents, violating due process rights, and even detaining U.S. citizens.

They fail to focus on violent criminals and instead create panic in our communities.

The US is going to bailout Argentina with your tariff money.

Let that sink in
