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.

I hope there’s at least one person on the sandwich jury who’s passive aggressively eating a sandwich while they deliberate, just to see what happens

A Blue Jays scout died in Philly before the World Series. His friends have a new favorite team. Urcheck, a longtime baseball scout, was 49. He wasn't from Philadelphia, but he epitomized what the city was about, friends say.

"normies do not care about this thing and so it is no use raising a stink" is imho just an excuse for not doing politics, which is the job of making normies care about something

Kind of amazing that the photo Politico used of one of these folks -- the one who made a joke about gas chambers -- is from an event that Politico sponsored last summer.

How Wes Moore can deal a blow to Trump’s immigration agenda | GUEST COMMENTARY Guest commentary: Gov. Wes Moore has a novel opportunity to undermine Trump’s immigration agenda by targeting an airline participating in ICE’s deportations.

In the Baltimore Sun today we ask Governor Wes Moore to cancel Avelo Airlines' contract with BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport. He can do it today. It doesn't require the assembly. It will help stop ICE & help our patients and neighbors.

Please share widely.
