Unbelievable. Dems seem to be more on Taco's side than on the side of Americans.

As usual, Bernie is correct.

And Schumer pushed

Yup! Shame on them!!!

@democrats.senate.gov
DO NOT CAVE.
DO NOT GIVE AWAY THE ACA.
DO NOT GIVE AWAY WOMEN’S RIGHTS!
DO NOT TRUST THE GOP.
DO NOT FAIL US NOW.

I could say WTF!!!; but in reality WTF!!!

The only reason Republicans have dragged this shutdown on for so long is simply because Republicans don’t want to lower healthcare costs.

They are happy to let 24 million Americans see their premiums DOUBLE on average.

Although the Trump Admin continues to fight this court order, the win confirms what we knew all along: it was illegal to withhold benefits from the American people.

Trump-Appointed Judge Rules His Portland Military Takeover Was Unconstitutional Read more here.

BREAKING: A Trump-appointed judge rules Trump’s Portland military takeover unconstitutional.

Judge Immergut permanently blocked Trump’s order to federalize Oregon’s National Guard — calling it a violation of the Tenth Amendment and a power grab beyond lawful authority.

Trump on SNAP: “Our country has to remain very liquid because of problems, catastrophes, wars… We have to remain liquid. We can’t give everything away.”

REMINDER: Trump just have $40 billion away to Argentina.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.

Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.

Don’t forget this.

Republicans sent TRILLIONS of your taxpayer dollars straight to the pockets of billionaires earlier this year.

But now they've caused the longest shutdown in history because they want to let health care costs explode for average Americans.

Tonight is good reminder that Democrats need to primary the shit out of disgraceful fraudulent traitor John Fetterman and get that piece of shit out of office for good.

The Trump administration is not just refusing to fund SNAP

The DOJ went into court and argued AGAINST financing the program-claiming that feeding 42 million Americans would be “disastrous”

But we all get that renovating the Lincoln bathroom takes precedence over feeding starving kids, amirite

Gomez: He’ll use these troops all over the country unless we put a check on his power. Winning the House is just the first step, because once we do, we’ll be dealing with a trapped wild animal…

The Trump admin got a billionaire sugar daddy to pay the troops, but can't find a way to fund SNAP?

From $187 a month to $1,345 a month for the EXACT same health insurance plan.
 
That's a typical premium increase that a middle-class couple in Seattle will face because Republicans have refused to work with Democrats to extend the ACA tax credits.

This is fucking amazing

Meiselas: The "$22 trillion" is a Trump Ponzi scheme. What he wants to do is string along people who are suffering the same way a Ponzi schemer does and says, “I’ve brought in this money. You’re just going to have to wait a year or two. You’re going to be so rich. I brought in all this money.”

In 1932, the Soviet Union utilized food shortages as a means of coercion against the Soviet Ukrainian population. Called the Holodomor, it was a man-made famine used for political purposes, much like what Republicans in Congress are getting ready to do to fellow Americans.

"Republicans could end this right now. They are choosing to make this shutdown an issue where they pit the sick against the hungry. The reality is, this is a false choice. Prior to this moment, we've been able to afford both the ACA subsidies and SNAP benefits."
