The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
I'm on my way to the Senate floor to talk about the assault on my colleague, Senator Alex Padilla.
This is a horrifying moment in our nation’s history.
The gutting of HHS and the CDC will literally and directly lead to the sickening and deaths of millions of Americans, and many more globally. Far more than that will suffer needlessly. This is horrific.

One consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

when we don't get enough dopamine, even the small things lose their joy. make sure to stop and smell the roses.
even in tough times, taking a moment to appreciate small joys isn’t selfish—it’s necessary. we deserve to feel joy, even when the world is struggling.

@joyannreid.bsky.social you are a class act, and a phenomenal journalist. @msnbc.com made a huge mistake by letting you go. Looking forward to seeing where you land next.

Donald Trump is the most unpopular president at the start of his term in modern American political history.
Don't let anyone talk to you about a mandate.
Don't let anyone talk to you about there being support for his agenda.
Don't let anyone tell you that anything about this presidency is normal.
What are you and the rest of the Dems going to do about it?

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.
Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.
Per an NIH source:
“Discussions with colleagues have suggested that if the universities all come together and raise hell about the delays to funding caused by not holding meetings, that might move the needle. From every state. There are well-funded universities in red states that will be impacted.”

The biggest crime in US history is how much money the upper 1% of this country has stolen from the middle class… and people still wonder why Americans are upset with the establishment that allowed this to happen. I think it’s quite clear
