Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving:

$100 billion

Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%:

$100 billion

One is decried as "welfare." One is not.

Why?

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the table—then called it “restructuring.”

The cuts:

📌NBC BLK (Black community coverage)

📌NBC Latino (Latino community coverage)

📌NBC Asian America (Asian American community coverage)

📌NBC Out (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

And this is the most accurate Meme for the current situation EVER!!!

If you’re in New Jersey and not yet registered to vote, do it today! Voters have until the end of the day to register in time to help choose the state’s next governor.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.

Hello?

Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.

Enough of the false equivalence.

It seems clear—I think to everyone, now—that a false and illegal invocation of the Insurrection Act is coming before the end of the year. Media outlets should be telling us how they will prepare for this potential Treason. State governments should be telling us. Activists should be developing plans.

This.

There it is

"I think in a free country we should be able to post onto the internet, 'hey, there are masked agents on Broadway and Vine and not have the government or the tech oligarchs prevent us from doing that.' Shame on you, Tim Cook."

No veteran should have their social security number leaked, let alone passed to a political opponent by the government.

Why do headlines say "norms shattered" when what is meant is "laws broken" or "Constitution violated"?

These are the comments that led to Jimmy Kimmel being taken off the air.

"The MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them, and doing everything they can to score political points from it, in between the finger-pointing."

Seriously, though. Absolute horror show here. And yet another reminder — as if they were still needed — that capitulating gets you nothing beyond letting Trump know you’re willing to capitulate.

I seem to recall the right storming the Capitol on January 6th and beating police officers with the U.S. flag.

If we are to deprive political violence of its power, we must reject anyone who commits or promotes it - and also reject any move to exploit it.

Be prepared for your health insurance costs to skyrocket.

Next year, Americans will see the biggest increase in health costs in 15 YEARS.

You'll be shelling out more in premiums and copays - all while not getting any better care.

We NEED Medicare For All.

POTUS posted this about vaccines on social media.

This isn’t just fake news—it’s dangerous misinformation about lifesaving tools made possible by science, which have saved millions of lives.

For anyone to spread this is unethical and harmful. For the POTUS to do so is unconscionable & shameful.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

🚨REMINDER: Open Enrollment for Medicare is October 15 - December 7 for 2026. I would encourage those on Medicare (non MA), to research their supplemental/Medigap premiums. Also, please review your Part D RX plan as well. For 2026 you will enter catastrophic care for OOP RX at $2100. PLEASE REPOST 🙏🙏

Here's a scenario that someone should ask RFK Jr. about: an under-65 person with no major health conditions who is providing some in-person support for an older family member undergoing treatments that weaken the immune system. Can that person get a COVID shot?

It's me, and I can't.
