Speaker Johnson: “If we had a contingency fund for SNAP we’d use it.”

REALITY: There is one, Trump literally just deleted it off the USDA site 🤷🏼

Pot meet kettle

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

Trump just ordered the Pentagon to resume nuclear weapons testing, a move that could reignite a dangerous global arms race.

He's also furloughed nearly all federal workers responsible for overseeing and safeguarding America's nuclear stockpile.

Hello?

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

Pritzker makes a direct appeal to Greg Bovino to not terrorize kids over the Halloween weekend

Pritzker: "I sent a letter to Kristi Noem and to DHS leadership asking them to pause all of their federal agent operations for the entirety of the Halloween weekend. I'm asking for basic human decency. I think their response will be revealing. Give the children and families of Illinois a break."

If @GovBillLee used the billions in reserves to keep hundreds of thousands of Tennesseans from going hungry he wouldn’t be able to use the state site to blame Dems 🤷🏼

(That he calls them “customers” says it all)

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

If you or I worked only 12 days in the last 3 months, we'd be out of job. Let's make sure these cruel bozos never get the chance to inflict more pain on this country.
Vote them all out.

Art of the Deal.

The “great deal” is that we have a “framework” to return to where we were a few months ago before Trump has his last tantrum, which is still worse than what we had in place a year ago.

We do have a welfare problem in this country.
It's called corporate welfare.

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

They must expect a lot of people all over the country to be really upset about something next year. I wonder what that could be?

Every country in the world has figured out that all they have to do is give Trump some amazing sounding false promise to announce so he can take credit for a “win” and they can get whatever they want in return. He craves personal credit and fluffery - substance is irrelevant.

Just to be clear who’s to blame for SNAP cutoff:

1. Trump admin claims that a $5B emergency fund can’t be used for it.

2. Thune said Trump wants to use SNAP cutoff as leverage.

3. 22 Dem states filed a lawsuit about it.

4. Dems willing to join many Rs for SNAP bill but Thune is blocking vote.

Republicans have no money for SNAP to feed Americans, but when this guy needs $40 billion to bail him out before his election, that becomes Trump’s #2 priority after his ballroom.

The DOJ's "election monitoring" is really voter suppression Trump's Big Lie has become government policy.

"Hispanic support for Trump is now cratering everywhere. The administration's goal is they avoid the polls for fear they will be brutalized or abducted by ICE." — @snipy.bsky.social

What the 🤬 !!!!

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

A short term deal to extend ACA subsidies one year isn’t ideal but it would instantly make another extension a central issue in the midterms which wouldn’t be the worst thing for Dems.

Now this in Chicago
Children ...
They have to fear GUN DRILLS and NOW HAVE TO FEAR ICE..
Given whistle and instructions
No child should live with this

Union Pacific wants Trump's regulators to approve its $72B buyout of Norfolk Southern — a mega-deal that would stifle competition, raise costs, and hurt workers.

Union Pacific is also among the corporate donors to Trump's ballroom.

Gee, I wonder why?
