That barista who makes your coffee just right.

The cook at your favorite diner.

Your kind neighbor who is on deployment.

They all have jobs. They all need SNAP to make ends meet.

When Trump & the GOP deride those who need some help, understand who they are talking about.

It’s people like you.

One thing this government shutdown had made extremely clear is Democrats are the ONLY party fighting for families and U.S. citizens.

Gov. Walz explains...

Republicans refusing to reopen the government is a complete abdication of their duty to serve, while they still receive their paychecks.

β€˜controversial’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that headline, because β€” despite there being absolutely no medical evidence to make the case β€” Donny stood up in front of the world and announced that if you’re preggers, and you take Tylenol while you have a bun in the oven, that bun is going to slide out with a bad case of the autisms.

who discovered this earth-shattering fact? was it a scientist, or a researcher? no, it wasn’t β€” unless you consider β€˜hey, what would happen if I chainsawed the head off this whale and tied it to my car’ to be research. that’s right, it was Bobby Brainworms, Jr. β€” the crackpot who single-handedly brought measles to Samoa.

take another look at the photo from the top of this post. it’s a trifecta of dumbfuck. it’s the Three Stooges of Science.

Trump criticizes European allies in U.N. speech: "Your countries are going to hell" President Trump addressed the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday, the 80th anniversary of the world body.

www.cbsnews.com/live-updates... #ProudBlue. Our insane president gave the most bizarre unhinged speech ever seen at the U.N. Many are comparing Trump’s speech to the infamous Muhammad Gaddafi speech in 2009. Both were boisterous rambling and insulting to UN members. Total embarrassment for U.S.

In 1900, 31% of all deaths were children under the age of 5.  Today it’s 0.7%.  Vaccines, medications, and modern science are the reason why.  Trust the science, it’s been proven to work safely and efficiently time and time again.

I am in my 80's and rather healthy (all things considered) with a very important request (actually it's a demand): if you have children enrolled in a school which does not require proof of vaccination, they cannot enter my house. I consider them as little petri dishes looking for a host.

NEW: Producer price index for July rose 0.9% month over month-FAR above Wall Street estimate of 0.2%. We all saw inflation exploding despite lies of Trump. This will be the final data from Trump regime that doesn't lie way Trump wants. US economy is teetering on edge because of Trump's tariffs!
