REMINDER: President Biden NEVER cut SNAP payments, never even had a government shutdown.

In fact, he cut child poverty in half.
He cut child hunger, too.

I miss having a REAL President.

Did you know that the GOP Congress has worked less than 20 days since July?

Yet we’re still paying their full salary.

Boy, North Carolina Republicans sure don't want the attached story to circulate. I sure hope that this stupid threat from their spokesperson doesn't boomerang on them and have a lot more people read and share the story, which once again, is conveniently attached below. That would be a shame.

Republican senators are okay with throwing thousands of their own constituents under the bus.

Health insurance companies are finalizing their rates RIGHT NOW.

Doesn't matter if you're in a red or blue state, your premium might skyrocket.

And somehow, Republican senators are okay with throwing thousands of their own constituents under the bus.

Locking Down the Pentagon Press Is Dangerous Pete Hegseth’s proposed restrictions would harm the people whom both the military and the press are meant to serve.

The Army exists to defend the Republic; the press exists to inform it. Together, they protect the same idealβ€”self-government built on public trust. Hegseth's Pentagon press restrictions would hurt the Army, the press, and us.

This can’t be said often enough: Trump is selling out his most loyal voting block while bailing out somebody else’s.

πŸ“Keep an eye on this: Trump’s intentionally sabotaging U.S. farmers. His billionaire buddies will benefit by acquiring their land on the cheap.

Q: β€œWhat's your message to the 170 or so U.S. citizens who have been detained by ICE, about 20 of them are children?”

The shutdown will worsen hungerβ€”which the Trump administration just stopped tracking Millions of women and children are at risk of losing food benefits.

As the government shutdown stretches into its second week, experts warn that women and children reliant on federal food assistance funding are vulnerable to losing their grocery benefits.

In the midst of it all, the USDA has stripped away the infrastructure needed to remedy rising hunger in the US.

Now more than ever, call it what it is and stop soft pedaling or standing on razor thin semantics. It's fascism. Early stages where we can stop it, but proceeding at alarming pace.

The fact that an agent literally said "fuck them kids" is just icing on the unconstitutional cake.

Unfit for Office Donald Trump’s narcissism makes it impossible for him to carry out the duties of the presidency in the way the Constitution requires.

"Trump is having 'episodes of what would be called outright lunacy, if they occurred in any other setting,' and … if he 'were in virtually any other position of responsibility, action would already be under way to remove him from that role.'"

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

Kash Patel says he doesn’t have an enemies list.

But he DOES have a list of people who he said needed going after – and the Trump Admin has already taken action against a third of them.
