Nick Pettigrew @Nick_Pettigrew Polio was eradicated because Jonas Salk chose not to patent the vaccine, if you want a perfect example of a socialist act. Quote Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63 · Jun 24 Socialism is like polio, it comes back when people forget about the horrible damage it did last time.

REMINDER: A socialist act by a New Yorker was a major reason why polio was eliminated in the US.

Mamdani: "New York will remain a city of immigrants, a city built by immigrants, powered by immigrants, and as of tonight, led by an immigrant."

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Video of Charlie Kirk joking about Dick Cheney potentially shooting Kamala Harris:

“Trying to avoid Dick Cheney here, but that’s Kamala Harris’ problem now. Duck and cover.”

Nat Sauer @natssauer Follow I showed some teen girls dressed as a band of pirates the 3 day old baby in my arms, thinking they'd lose their minds, offer to babysit, etc they said "aww so cute" and took their candy and walked away. so the birth rate is for sure doomed

Why is this creepy woman looking at children as potential baby carriers?

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

LEAVITT: It's absolutely true that there's fraud in California's elections

Q: What's the evidence of that?

LEAVITT: It's just a fact

His Works Completed, Dick Cheney, Mass Murderer of Iraqis and American Democracy, Dies As much as the Trumpists claim to disavow the War on Terror, they walk a path paved by the most powerful vice president in U.S. history.

All day, many of you have been asking for a Cheney obituary from me. Get ready:

Reporter: “Why did Trump get an MRI?”
Leavitt: “Trump will inquire with his physicians. As you all know, because you are all witness to it every single day, Trump is in optimal physical health.”🙄

Translation: No answer. Just gaslighting the press about his “optimal” health again.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

But we can't afford SNAP benefits or ACA subsidies to help Americans stay fed & healthy!!!!!!!!!!!!! WTF America???

Baby barn swallows. Too cute for words. They are endangered here so any new births are cause for celebration.

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans.

Nero would be proud.

This story keeps getting worse.

Raju: Last week, you were very critical of Biden, you said he didn’t even know who was pardoning. On 60 minutes, Trump admitted not knowing he pardoned a crypto billionaire guilty of money laundering. Is that also concerning?

Johnson: I don’t know anything about it.

When the GOP dismisses SNAP recipients by telling them to 'just get jobs,' they ignore that 70% of those individuals are already
employed full-time.

Fund SNAP. Reverse the Medicaid cuts. Restore USAID.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

lol at Target pretending the boycott has nothing to do with it.

Whatever. Keep making believe Black and anti-racist dollars don't exist. Looks like it's going great so far.
