It’s mind boggling that the price of soybean futures is still high despite the lack of demand.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Im doubtful that the party that ran on the slogan β€œrepeal and replace” for 8 years and then couldn’t actually pass a healthcare policy has suddenly come up with anything.

I’ve spent the last 4 days in Chicago. The city is alive and thriving and not because of anything the Trump administration has done. It was always a great thriving city. It might currently be the greatest American city but I will leave that up to debate. #nokings

Anecdotal data point from my kids high school in San Jose, the students like the phone ban more than even the teachers do.

Trump would be most upset about the fact that Johnson didn’t watch the speech and say how great it was.

She is a star and any efforts to delay her progression to the national stage is a travesty.

This was obvious to me from the beginning. It was the second half of the clip that got him in trouble, not the first.

Insurance coverage is not the same this year. My wife tried for a booster and our insurance company would only cover it at pharmacy locations with β€œminute clinics.” So people should confirm coverage at locations before showing up.

I hope I have given fidelity, and that everyone viscerally understands:

Antecdotally, I think this happens often. When you annual tax bill is only $2,000 and you can’t decide what to do with your parents house after they die, what’s the rush? The units sit vacant far too often.

Right wing organizations are now using quotes from Alex Lee on their mailers to block the new congressional maps. This sucks.

It speaks volumes to how weak this argument they make is when they bring up a nominee from 43 years ago and try and apply that to the present day.
