Acerbic Accompli

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Eeef I have so many mixed feels. I found out today that i need immediate surgery to regain and keep mobility in my pinky. - and feeling too. I have to pay co-insurance since my er visit hasn’t been put through which will max out my out of pocket. It’s not a surgery that I can put off either.

This weekend I cut my pinky. It’s bad, 5 stitches & possible tendon/nerve damage. I see the plastic surgeon tomorrow to get it checked. I’m scared shitless I’ll need surgery, even with insurance I don’t know how we will afford it.

My MRI exp. I have 2 kids with neurological conditions. My youngest with epilepsy has had 1 and my middle with dysautonomia and migraines has had 2. This is over the period of 5yrs.

Bezos and the Walmart family have 800 billion dollars between them and don't pay taxes to speak of, but sure, the perceived shortages are the dudes trimming your lawns.

You ignorant fucks

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Yay an influx of anxiety attacks. Pretty much only when I’m going to bed. Lack of sleep causes me to feel even worse and so the viscous circle continues

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

Dear republican congressman:

You just got another week off, you have absolutely no plans since you were going to be in dc.

How about some town halls? If you do three, that’s a total of 6 hours of work the whole week. Easy peasy!

My mind goes 2 ways - some sort of victory arch, or possibly the safe house bunker that I saw mentioned in my scrolling is under the wing that they just destroyed.

The lone woman who staged a ‘No Kings’ protest in small-town West Virginia — The 19th News When Kendra Sullivan woke up on Wednesday, the 43-year-old West Virginian was surprised to see that she’d gone viral overnight — in a good way.

There he goes again

A screenshot of a post on X from Andrew Cuomo showing him sitting courtside at Madison Square Garden next to Mayor Eric Adams. The tweet says: "No better way to celebrate winning tonight's debate than making it to the @nyknicks game in time for the 2nd half."

Corruption goes courtside.

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 79th day out of the last 91.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I'm only an amateur political analyst but surely they're not just noticing this now? 🤔

Nothing says Make America Great Again quite like giving Argentina’s dictator $40B to help save his country from sheer ruin whilst also preparing to flood the American markets with imports from that same country like Argentinian Beef which will be catastrophic for US farmers.

Raskin details how he tried to get unanimous consent today to force Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva, but the Acting Speaker Haridopolos "scurried out of the room"

Reminiscin’ this’n that and havin’ such a good time. Oo-De-Lally, Oo-De-Lally golly what a day.

Or the repubs are freaking out between the majority of the ppl blaming them for the shut down, the massive protests and the fact that insurance companies are sending emails stating premiums are in fact going to rise.

The repubs are trying to slow the momentum

Oh nooooo, Lindsey Halligan, this is not how any of this works

Dudes a 79yr old man with obvious health issues both physically and mentally, I don’t have to advocate for anything. Nobody escapes the natural cycle.

It’s taught extensively and honestly with my kids’ school. But they go online. It’s accredited through the state & public, it’s not a district school.
