Wow, very weird, the guy who told Trump that he found cases where his political enemies have committed fraud and it turns out to be untrue is full of shit in other areas also.

I’m no great fan of the ACA. I believe we should guarantee health care as a human right through a single-payer Medicare for All system. But — at minimum — we cannot allow Republicans to destroy our already-broken system by doubling insurance premiums for 20 million Americans.

The Trump admin is forging ahead with plans to eject some nonprofits from the student loan forgiveness program if their work is deemed to have a “substantial illegal purpose” — cutting off some teachers, doctors and other public workers from federal loan cancellation. apnews.com/article/publ...

Groceries saw their biggest jump in nearly three years last month, a worrisome sign for inflation-weary shoppers. Tariffs are contributing to higher prices for imported staples like bananas and coffee.

🚨 #SocialSecurity is on the chopping block. Thanks to Trump’s so-called “One Big Beautiful Bill,” retirees are now staring down $18,000-a-year benefit cut in just seven years. Seniors who paid in their whole lives are left holding the bag. – $13,600 cut for a typical retired couple.

Schumer responded on the Senate floor today:“For this administration to go all the way to the Supreme Court just to get out of having to pay SNAP benefits for hungry kids is pathological levels of vindictiveness. This crisis is in the administration’s hands. It’s all them, not anyone else.” C-SPAN

ICE is inflicting a lifetime of trauma on families. And it’s being carried out in the name of the United States of America.

Hey kids the Trump Healthcare Plan just dropped!

At their meeting in South Korea in late October, Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed to lower tariffs.

Going to the Supreme Court in order to starve the American people you swore an oath to protect and defend is something I think the U.S. never thought we would see….this cruelty would make Putin blush.

Excellent context of where we are from @ruthbenghiat.bsky.social & @deanobeidallah.bsky.social dare I say, a little bit hopeful. Don’t give up 5 minutes before the miracle‼️🩵💙🇺🇸 open.substack.com/pub/lucid/p/...

NEW: Billions of pounds of food are imported to the U.S. each year. The FDA inspects foreign producers to ensure what we're eating is safe from pathogens and dangerous manufacturing practices. But now, after Trump's drastic staff cuts, these inspections have plummeted to a historic low. 🧵/

A friendly reminder that the press is ignoring….there is $$ to fully fund snap benefits for months, but the WH deleted the text, not the money‼️Or maybe that was part of the money they gave to Venezuela 🇻🇪

I hope people realize that the government could pay full SNAP benefits but are choosing not to. Also please know that Diarrhea Don, behind the scenes, is holding his jiggling belly laughing because to him this is a big joke. share.google/bQUB1NftoXoz...

The bad news? Due to cuts in Trump/DOGE decimation of food safety depts, many pasta products are now deadly The good news? Due to GOP shutdown, elimination of SNAP benefits & thousands of jobs, no American can afford food. Problem solved. Let them eat ballroom. www.npr.org/2025/11/04/n...

Yeah, because they’re fucking starving.

No SNAP benefits. We can't fly nowhere. The taxes go to the War Dept instead of healthcare, education, infrastructure. Can't get sick (despite the poor quality of our food, air pollution, etc) Schools not safe. Rent and groceries high AF.

Here is the test. Brad Lander cross-endorsed Zohran Mamdani. The two candidates have very similar and compatible visions for NYC, similar policies and priorities. Does anyone have any doubt whatsoever that Schumer would have a problem voting for Brad Lander if he were the nominee?

#VoteDemToday Maine voters: Vote NO on #1 to protect voting rights Vote YES on #2 for red flag laws. PA: Vote YES to retain 3 Supreme Court justices protecting healthcare & voting access. CA: YES on Prop 50 to stop Texas and Trump. Your ballot shapes democracy—vote in-person TODAY!

75% disapproval will be a nice number. I can't see how anyone can approve of a leader who tries to starve 40% of his base, commits murder on the high seas, raises prices on almost everything, makes it almost impossible to stay healthy and threatens to ruin anyone who doesn't like him. IMPEACH!

You should watch this with the sound on to hear how matter-of-fact dystopian the Illinois State Police "warning" is. Again, not ICE. Pritzker's state police. Who we're told are not assisting ICE.

Emails reveal that Jeffrey Epstein was investigated for money laundering. A federal prosecutor requested that a grand jury issue subpoenas for "every financial transaction conducted by Epstein and his six businesses" dating to 2003. She even called one of Epstein's most important clients.

State Senator Mallory McMorrow, “The Trump administration is using food as a political weapon." Taxpayers have already paid into SNAP and there is contingency wording to cover this program. Republicans deleted that wording from the web page this morning.🤬🤬🤬

"There are years worth of funding available for the SNAP program. The Trump administration and the Republicans supporting him are using food as a political weapon." - Michigan Senate candidate Mallory McMorrow.

Years of SNAP funding exist RIGHT NOW, paid for by our taxes. Federal language protected SNAP even during shutdowns – Trump’s admin DELETED it to hide the fact they’re using hunger as a political weapon by choice. - Mallory McMorrow, Candidate for US Senate

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 The money is there to fund SNAP for YEARS!! THEY DELETED THE TEXT!! ⬇️⬇️

🔥 Mallory McMorrow 🔥 We have the contingency money to save SNAP. They deleted that information off the website, TODAY. They are *choosing* to use food as a political weapon.

Mamdani: You know, there wasn’t a single New Yorker I spoke to who told me the reason they were voting for Donald Trump was so he could spend $300 million on renovating a White House ballroom.
