Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The Trump regime could tap into a $5 billion contingency fund to ensure people continue to be fed through SNAP. They are refusing. Republicans know the pain they’re causing to Americans—they do not care. The cruelty is the point.

In his 1987 address to Canada’s Parliament, Reagan hailed free trade as an act of faith in freedom itself, “the open door of cooperation over the closed gate of isolation.” Alongside Prime Minister Mulroney, he cast the U.S./Canada pact as democracy’s economic twin. 🇺🇸🇨🇦👇

A message to Republicans: we don’t want to die of starvation nor of preventable illnesses or treatable injuries. We need both healthcare and food it’s amoral that we have to go into bankruptcy to get them. Do your job.

www.newsfromthestates.com/article/usda... “…according to a since-deleted copy of the USDA’s Sept. 30 shutdown plan that said the department would use its multi-year contingency fund to continue paying Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, benefits during the ongoing shutdown.”

www.politifact.com/article/2025... ‼️ The Trump/Vance administration is choosing to starve people.‼️ “The Agriculture Department’s funding lapse plan says SNAP "shall continue operations during a lapse in appropriations, subject to the availability of funding."”

Know what would prevent insurance premiums from spiking 100%, 500%, 2000%—like we're seeing right now? Abolish HELL Corps (Health Exploitation Limited Liability) Corps. Private for profit insurance is a scam. We need our taxes to pay for universal healthcare. It's more affordable & a human right.

www.wtvr.com/news/local-n... Because the GOP wants to send money to Argentina rather than provide healthcare for US, prolonging shutdown, Virginia declared an emergency. “…Virginia will use money from its… surplus to fund SNAP benefits, which cost about $150 million per month in the state.”

Here's my full story about the rainbow staircase Oak Lawn United Methodist Church is painting as a response to a government decree to remove crosswalks and other displays that support the LGBTQ+ community. A "sacred act of resistance" as their senior pastor put it.

How great is America today, folks? People are out of work. Special Education funding is cut. Grocery prices increased. Cars are unaffordable. Homelessness is on the rise. Hospitals and clinics have closed. There’s a measles outbreak. And so so much more. Time to kick out the republicans.

One of the first things we need to do when we win back the legislature is to make green card holders equivalent to birth citizens. No deportations for green card recipients. Once a citizen always a citizen.

apnews.com/article/abre... “After failed attempts with Uganda, Eswatini, and Ghana, ICE now seeks to deport our client, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, to Liberia, a country with which he has no connection, thousands of miles from his family and home in Maryland,”

I cannot wait to read this new book from @ambersparks.bsky.social!

I could not be prouder that my law firm is currently litigating 60 voting, election and redistricting cases in 30 states. Even as large law firms bow down, we continue to fight for democracy every single day.

😂😂😂😂

Easy to feel helpless BUT we have power. Contact CA voters to VOTE YES on Prop 50 NOW or by Nov 4 Impacts all 50 states • Response to TX gerrymander • Temporary • Must be voter approved Unlike TX which is permanent & shoved down voters throats. Talk with friends in NJ & VA. Get Democratic votes!

Kidnapping and assault brought to you by a 34 count felon. Great job GOP.

In Chicago, an ICE Goon violently shoved a woman to the ground near a moving van.

The president announces an arbitrary price hike on Americans because his feelings are hurt by an ad accurately quoting Ronald Reagan’s criticism of tariffs

youtube.com/watch?v=xZaQ... Powerful speech and so true. Please watch and share. It’s nine minutes well spent.

thehill.com/homenews/adm... The toddler has tantrumed again. 10% tariff increase for Canada because they aired an ad with Ronald Reagan criticizing tariffs.

While Americans across the country struggle with rising health care costs and feel the impact of the President’s reckless tariffs,Trump is worried about himself and literally tearing down the East Wing of the White House.

GOOD MORNING! Camping cat Stitch looking magnificent last weekend on a glorious fall day at Sibley State Park. #caturday

Go vote, New York! Lead the way.

The richest man on earth owns X. The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros. The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post. See the problem here?

This is located in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago, close to Fullerton and Sheffield. It's a densely populated area near DePaul University. I'm pleased to see the community standing up against these despicable individuals.

Today is a good day for Halloween Wednesday fan art and to release the Epstein files

Went to a prayer service tonight at St. Mary of the Lake, where they have cardboard cutouts throughout the church representing parishioners afraid to come to Mass because of ICE.

youtube.com/watch?v=O8HL... This is about John Roberts. Favoring the powerful over rule of law.

Stay strong, Democrats. Secure healthcare before you reopen the government. Republicans are not trustworthy and we cannot afford healthcare increases. We can’t even afford healthcare as sits now.

Maybe repeating but here’s the entire video that manbaby was upset about

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor. Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors. These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism. This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function. Every American should reject it.
