Thank you for speaking plain truths and concisely exposing the facts for people!

While the Trump administration gives $40 billion to bail out Argentina, they are unlawfully suspending SNAP benefits for millions of hungry families and kids across America.

It is shameful.

The Trump administration’s lawlessness cannot be ignored.

Period.

@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalist’s stupid question about #SNAP! 💪🏼

Until now, Social Security disability benefits have been easier to qualify for as a person reaches 50+.

Trump's new rules would end that. Under the new plan, millions, many in red states, could find it more difficult to qualify.

What the First Amendment Really Protects From protests and journalism to social media and campus speech, explore how the First Amendment safeguards everyone — including immigrants — and what it actually covers.

Without the First Amendment, we couldn't express our views, defend our civil liberties, or engage in public debate.

That's why we answered some of your most pressing questions about this essential right.

Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Well the Ministry of Truth decided only people commit fraud and abuse now, never companies, corporations or overlord billionaires who pledge to Dear Leader. Hate your neighbor now, especially any darker than beige ones, not your masters. 👌🏼

It almost makes me wish I believed in his god so I'd be assuaged by the fact he's going to the actual hell at some point.

And also who funded it! Because if it CATO or Heritage Fundies they aren't honest brokers of facts.

This part! 🎯

One thing Republicans aren't talking about is how their mega-bill this summer was the largest SNAP cut in history.

The bill cut $187 billion from the program through 2034, about 20% of the total funding.

They cut food assistance to 4 million people.

...with deregulation and more tax breaks obviously.

How about they just pay their fair share of taxes instead!

In an unprecedented move, Austria is regulating rents for the entire country.

All apartments that already have government regulation have seen a total rent freeze this year.

All formerly unregulated units are also getting rent stabilization to limit landlord rent hikes.

I mentioned the other day that I’ve been thinking a great deal abt what comes after the regime collapses, which requires that we respond to those who orchestrated the fascist project. A big part of the problem, I argue here, lies in what we’ve let pass for democracy in the U.S.

The grift was on before the inauguration, from Bibi to all his reich-wing henchmen and women.

Trump's former State Department Legal Adviser even confirmed that gang activity isn't the basis for a new, unauthorized war—it's a law enforcement matter.

Q: What do you call it when many people in multiple events are deliberately killed on the open seas outside of a declaration of war?

A: Murder. Mass murder. Crimes against humanity.

💯

It takes 51 senators to steamroll the filibuster and end the shutdown. That's it. There are 53 republicans in the senate.

Anyone blaming the democrats for this is lying.

Millions are about to lose food assistance. Not because they’re lazy.
Most people on SNAP already work.

The problem isn’t work ethic. It’s wages.
Poverty isn’t a glitch in the system. It’s how the system keeps power.

💛 If you can, volunteer. Donate. Feed someone the system left behind.
