Do you really think a Department of Justice that lies to judges about grand jury indictments is going to be open and honest about the Epstein Files?

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Of course.

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.

Thomas Jefferson mortgaged 150 of his enslaved workers to finance the construction of Monticello.

Where are the mainstream reporters who only interviewed Trump supporters during the last election? I need them to revisit those same people. I definitely want to hear from them now.

They don’t care how many of their own starve or die as long as they destroy the accomplishments of one black man.

Until we confront this we cannot hope to build a healthy democracy.

podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/r... It’s interesting how some folks clearly saw that some Americans were under authoritarian rule and did nothing. Now that everyone is feeling it, some have the option to leave the country.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

When the current folks in the White House endorse your candidacy, and your not part of their party, you may want to drop out.

RIP Diane Ladd.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children: I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

WASTE. FRAUD. ABUSE.

OMG, that's Zen Master level trolling. 😆

BREAKING: Two Federal judges, in RI and MA, rule that the Trump administration must continue to fund SNAP using contingency funds during the government shutdown. Another reminder that we have separation of powers & Trump is not a dictator—however much MAGAs want him to be. Keep fighting yall.
