Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.
Two federal judges rule the Trump administration must tap into billions in emergency funds to at least partially cover food stamp benefits in November

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.
Why the delay from Mike Johnson?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.
Breaking News: The Trump administration was ordered to release billions of dollars in backup funds for SNAP, the nation’s largest anti-hunger program, after the administration said the government shutdown meant it couldn’t tap contingency funds.

Zohran Mamdani is the bright future of the Democratic Party — brimming with excellent ideas about what working families need.
I was delighted to chat with him earlier today.
If you're a New Yorker, don't forget to cast your vote for him by Tuesday, Nov. 4.

Every authoritarian action Trump is taking must be understood against the backdrop of his declining popularity.
He feigns strength, but he's operating from a place of weakness.
Remember this.
Health insurance premiums are out and millions of Americans are finding out just how much Republicans and Trump are making them pay.

Bovino on Fox “News” dressed in a uniform resembling that of 1930’s Nazi Germany
If you’re not familiar with “the brown shirts” of 1930’s Germany — just look to #Bovino, who is 💯 aware of the message he is sending

The Trump administration snubbed Senate Democrats this week with a secret GOP-only Venezuela briefing on Wednesday in what a lawmaker is calling "an effort to hide the facts from the American people."

From nationalizing voter suppression to flooding the streets with federal agents, the president and his allies are using all the tricks in the authoritarian playbook to tilt the midterms in their favor.

Under the Trump Administration, the D.O.E.’s Office for Civil Rights has investigated universities for allegedly discriminating against white students and targeted transgender and nonbinary students.
30.10.2025 20:11 — 👍 59 🔁 21 💬 3 📌 2Your 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.
uh-oh. turns out the mortgage document that the DOJ is alleging was fraudulent b/c great niece paid some rent (great niece testified she didn't) refers to "short-term rentals," which seems to blow DOJ theory that it could't be rented out of the water. Another disaster of a case.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.
President Trump is taking a wrecking ball to the White House—his temporary residence—without consulting its over 300 million rightful owners. I’m leading 59 of my colleagues to demand we protect our history & make the White House accessible again to the people.

NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.
Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…
Question: “How long is this sustainable.”
Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”
We spoke with @briankarem.bsky.social earlier this month about how Trump administration’s efforts to push experienced journalists out of government buildings are a disservice to democracy and the public.
Watch:
Trump claims that ICE agents are in constant danger. The data tells an entirely different story.
According to stats from the agency's website, the deadliest threat to ICE agents is not immigrants, but COVID-19.
This is an NYT link, but it's important so we're sharing as a gift link.
From yesterday: A federal judge in Washington saw through the Trump administration's attempts to abuse subpeonas to intimidate providers of trans healthcare.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.
California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.
