I'm no economist but the fact that more than 42 million Americans (1 in 8!) are on SNAP (i.e., food stamps) says that the federal minimum wage is way too low.

Oh I'm sure that is going to go over well at the White House

His poor kids. They didn’t get to choose their father.

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?

Hate this garbage administration!

Republicans in Congress are taking an indefinite vacation & relinquishing their power to a wannabe king.

Without a Congress, we’re living in a dictatorship—not a democracy.

Republicans control the White House, House, and Senate. It’s past time for them to start acting like it and come together to protect Americans’ health care.

A D.C. task force shot at a driver. It’s not in the police report. Neither D.C. police nor the Department of Homeland Security have explained why the Homeland Security agent fired his weapon.

WILD story. A DHS officer shot at a man he thought was fleeing (a judge dismissed all charges). Bullets went into the driver's side window, through his jacket collar, and into the empty passenger seat. An MPD cop on the scene says he was ordered not to put it in the police report.

ROLLING STONE: “The current Congress has dropped the pretense of public service altogether… Congress enjoys ultraluxe health care as it fights to gut yours.”

@RepTimBurchett @MarshaBlackburn why don’t you care about anyone but yourselves? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

This message is for Trump supporters, who are about to lose their SNAP benefits, Medicaid, and Obamacare (Affordable Care Act) tax credits. 😳👇

I happen to believe that your elected officials should vote to reopen government AND keep your premiums from more than doubling.
 
Government should be open and Americans shouldn't go bankrupt to afford health care.

Should a guy this uniformed be in charge of anything?

Trump's economy is going so well, Amazon's laying off 30,000 workers. Tariffs are crippling our economy.

It bears repeating that he literally only calls people of color "low IQ" it's just straight up gutter racism

Yes, I care greatly about the outcome of the midterms, but if you’re not feeling urgency to speak out and push back every day between then and now, you’re missing the gravity of this moment.

Well great! @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social can now swear in Adelita Grijalva dice Republicans aren't in charge.

And we can impeach!!

Since we're in change and all.

ICE violently detain father & son walking to school—teenage boy had to be rushed to hospital.

"I was just going to school," kid cries out. "I'm underage!"

The 16-year-old star athlete is a U.S. citizen—agents sent him to the hospital with severe injuries to his back & neck.

Houston, Texas.

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

Hunger, Bribes and Sociopathy As food assistance runs out and a billionaire offers money for troops, Trump dances in Malaysia

“I look forward to the day when not only has Trump been removed from office, but he & others in his sociopathic regime are held accountable for their cruelty, corruption & criminality. Without this justice, our beloved country will fail to repair itself.”

Democrats should run a TV ad in Mike Johnson's district, thanking his constituents for taking the hit on the SNAP shutdown and other government services they use all so Mike could keep the Epstein Files from coming out?

"America's Richest Pedophiles Appreciate YOUR Sacrifice!"

🚨 Arnoldo Bazan and his father were pulled over by unmarked immigration vehicles in Houston.
His dad was arrested. Arnoldo? Restrained, hurt, and hospitalized. 1/2

ICE hospitalized a minor child by their violent acts. This is not acceptable and should not be tolerated.

ICE is out of control and beyond repair This agency needs to be stripped down to the studs. Dems should start preparing now.

Who looks at what’s happening and says to themselves, “I’d love to put on a mask and a bulletproof vest, then go around smashing car windows and tackling terrified housekeepers and landscapers on the sidewalk”?

Grocery store aisle with text overlayed from CNN article. Headline reads: “Inflation means families must spend $208 more per month than a year ago.” Additional text reads: “Due to higher prices, the typical American household in September had to spend $208 more than a year earlier to buy the same goods and services, according to Moody’s Analytics data shared with CNN on Friday.”

Families are paying over $200 more a month this year compared to last year.

Meanwhile, Republicans are increasing your healthcare costs and pausing SNAP benefits.

Democrats are coming back this week to fight for healthcare, lower costs, and an end to the Republican shutdown.

Just go to @charlesgaba.com and you’ll see he’s been showing us state by state what the increases will be for months now.

He has all the data.

Millions of Americans are already learning that their health insurance costs for 2026 are going way up.

I want to hear from you so we can make this impossible for the GOP to ignore the consequences of their policies.

If your premiums are going up, reply below and please share your story.
