Plus nobody ever asks Republicans how they're going to pay for more cops, more military contractors, more dog robot cops, more ICE agents with $50k signing bonuses...there's always plenty of money to incarcerate people but never enough to give taxpayers education, healthcare, food, and housing.

The ACA was signed into law in 2010. It was being negotiated throughout 2009. Healthcare coverage was a huge campaign issue in the 2008 election. It’s now late 2025. To state the obvious, if the GOP gave a damn about having a better/different plan, they’d have one.

All stick no carrot

Amazing, I found some good news

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?

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net. In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

At some point we might have to consider the fact that he might be mentally unstable.

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.

Rep. Adam Smith: "This country has not agreed to have the death penalty for drug smuggling. If we want to have that policy conversation, we can have that policy conversation, but the president has unilaterally decided that lethal force is going to be applied. It's an enormous expansion of power."

From 1961 to 1981 the US minimum wage was increased methodically every year except for 3. Once Reaganism took hold it stagnated for 9 years and eventually was ignored now for 16 years. SNAP is so expensive because we don't pay people living wages.

Born on this day in 1632, in Delft, the incomparable painter Johannes Vermeer. What he can do here with the color blue! It's miraculous. The mysteries of that window are infinite.

Well King Charles isn’t waiting for the release of the #Epsteinfiles. He went ahead and pulled the trigger with the evidence that’s already out there.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The media's complete lack of curiosity over our nearly 80 year old President's health when he has permanent bruising on his right hand, swollen ankles, facial drooping, disappeared for days from public view twice in the last 2 months and just had an unexplained MRI is notable

Israeli settlers damage dozens of olive trees near Qaryout, south of Nablus.

This is truly terrifying, It really IS what is on the US Department of Labor Facebook page. Check for yourse.f

Jeffries: They got out of town in September and have refused to come back. So Mike Johnson has resorted to holding these daily press conferences, which are like a Republican family reunion—featuring crazy aunts and uncles talking gibberish to the American people. It’s an embarrassment.

Rep. Rosa DeLauro: "On the food stamp issue, the money is there! Let them not get away with saying they can't do it. Their political will isn't there to feed the people who rely on the SNAP program which is the most effective anti-hunger program in the USA."

Forty-one Palestinians from Gaza were laid to rest in mass graves, their identities unknown.

Israeli occupation forces abduct Palestinian farmers from the town of Qarawa Bani Hassan, west of Salfit, in the occupied West Bank.

45-year-old Farid Hassan Qdeih was killed when an Israeli airstrike hit a group of civilians in Abasan Al-Kabira, east of Khan Younis, violating the ceasefire agreement.

McIver: The things we’re seeing this president do — it’s unbelievable. I just saw the new number: $300 million for a ballroom. The audacity of this man while we’re in the middle of a shutdown and people aren’t getting paid. I saw a line wrapped around the corner in the DMV area for the food bank

Israeli occupation forces blocked farmers from reaching their lands to harvest olives in the village of Mazra’a Al-Sharqiya, northeast of Ramallah.

Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families? Now you know.
