President Orange Julius Caesar and his ilk claim that guns are a God given right but don’t feel that food is a God given right. They claim to care about babies but don’t care if they go hungry when they become children.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Full vetting? After seeing the ICE Gestapo goons in action, I’d be surprised to find there is ANY vetting.

Any judge who lets their religion affects their decision in any court case should not be a judge !

CARTOON OF THE DAY

(From @mluckovichajc)

This is exactly why they’re dumbing down schools in red states…

“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

--Stephen Miller speaking to Memphis police earlier this month.

Watching “The Last Republican” Again Brought Back Every Emotion I Thought I’d Buried Reliving the chaos, the loss, and the purpose that still drives me to fight for our democracy.

Just watched The Last Republican again, and it hit me harder than I expected. Within a year I left the military, left Congress, we moved, and gained a son.
It brought back sorrow, anger, even moments I thought I’d buried —

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

Banning beards is an attack on masculinity. There is nothing unprofessional about wearing facial hair.

I look forward to proudly representing bearded Americans in Congress.

FACT: In July, Marsha Blackburn voted for the largest cut to SNAP in the history of the program.

Now, 700,000 TN children, seniors & people w/ disabilities are going to miss meals and she’s pretending to care b/c she’s running for Governor.

She thinks your too dumb to remember

Powerful and moving interview with Virginia Giuffre's brother Sky and sister-in-law Amanda:

"He's just Andrew. He's no longer a prince... This normal girl, from a normal family, has taken down a prince. We are so proud of her."

"She was extraordinary. She did the extraordinary."

Did he get to keep all his money?

I know of another guy who needs to be stripped of his title and kicked out of his palace…

Stopped by a canvass in Bed-Stuy tonight. I’m truly in awe of the determination and joy our volunteers bring to this campaign, every single day.

These dogs were spotted taking a group photo in their Halloween costumes. We're impressed by the dog walker's dedication to getting the shot, but that ghost definitely wishes he could actually disappear. 14/10 for all (TT: franklinbarkzoo)

Nothing is inevitable. Effort is everything. Ignore the polls and run through the tape.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

20 people have died in ICE Custody so far. Definitely Crimes against Humanity.

Noticed you referenced Upton Sinclair, I read "The Jungle" early on and found it still describes things much too well today, especially the quote "Fascism is Capitalism plus murder". We have yet to see murders, but ICE is a reminder that they are indeed coming.

ICE WILL MELT IN HELL. A RED DROP IS DRIPPING FROM THE LETTER 'T'

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

I hope you are feeling better and are getting lots of support. This is just wrong! How about a counter-suit? It’s just wrong and I’m sorry you are going through this! Keep fighting!

Thank you to everyone who’s supported us.

And a special thank you to Illinois elected officials — including many of my opponents — who have condemned this political prosecution by the Trump administration:

Yeah,I Get It ! This Gets Old,But
Kamala Was Right About
EVERYTHING........

WA sues Trump admin over impending SNAP cuts

I’m grateful to @atg.wa.gov Nick Brown for leading a lawsuit demanding that Trump release funding that Congress already approved to keep SNAP benefits going in November so families don’t go hungry.

You’ve probably heard but I have been federally indicted by Trump’s DOJ.

We now have to cover the costs of a campaign *and* a legal battle to preserve our First Amendment rights.

I cannot believe there are still people in my mentions arguing that boycotting an election because the candidates aren’t addressing your issue is a way to get them to pay attention.
