If Congress follows Trump's directive to rename the Defense Department, it could cost taxpayers nearly $2B in new signage, letterheads, and digital code. Imagine if we invested that money — and our bloated military budget as well — on the American people instead of the Pentagon.

As someone who born and raised in Spokane, this is a good first step. But this is a marathon, we take our wins but we keep fighting.

If their gonna steal well, there are ways to watch without paying.

There's a law on the books to make corporations pay taxes on the huge profits they report to shareholders. The Trump admin has quietly decided not to enforce it. This de facto corporate tax break will add hundreds of billions to the deficit. Why is no one talking about this?

Thoughts on the next president allowing the people to destroy the ballroom? I'm thinking that would be a selling point to get votes.

In interviews.... not actually doing the work.

We need a Trump whisperer.

Beatings. Sexual assault. Psychological abuse. These are some of the horrors endured by the more than 250 men the United States sent to El Salvador on flimsy evidence of gang membership by the United States.

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Livable wages, benefits, no crunch, and no layoffs.

Tonight was a very bad night.

Foreshadowing. If the @democrats.org cannot properly lead and FIGHT, then we simply need a new party. The GOP gave them the game plan and the dems continue to not see it as a plan of attack but a joke. 40 million people without SNAP and soon without medical. No one is laughing but the GOP.

Aged like roadkill in RFK’s trunk.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning: Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases. So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care. Dystopian.

ROLL CALL If you’re a BIPOC Storyteller, please introduce yourself and tag others in the replies 😈🧛‍♂️ #vamily #vtm

Be aware that the Supreme Court sees starvation of 16 million children as acceptable. Rooting out this evil will not only be by voting in the right leadership, but by gutting those who continue to allow it. Supreme Court included.

Amazing things are happening in China

The majority of Americans are good. We have heart. We have compassion. When we see others struggle, we want to lend a hand. For too long, we’ve been divided and pitted against each other by those who crave obscene wealth and power. Let’s change that. One election at a time.

Armed federal agents in black balaclavas climbed into the car of a U.S. citizen they had detained and drove off with his toddler still strapped into her carseat in the back.

A year ago today, we had a really terrible election night, and because I know how people fall into despair I sat down at 11pm and wondered what I could tell you. I told you:

Colorado voters have approved raising taxes on households earning over $300,000 to fund meals for all public school students, raise salaries for school meal staff, and bolster SNAP at the state level.

“Everybody I know is screwed if health insurance premiums go up.” That's what's at stake in this shutdown. No. I will not vote for a budget that doubles premiums. I will not vote for a budget that makes the largest cut to Medicaid in history. Democrats must not cave.

Above is obviously a meme. Sanctions don't work, yet the US and Western powers will wield it as a tool of imperial power with flimsiest of justifications. Just wanted to reference that. Article below unrelated. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

I call upon the international community to impose sanctions on the US for its forced labor and slave labor practices documented below.

Reporter: SNAP is so stimulative to our economy. There are lots of rural stores where 60% of their sales are SNAP sales. So that rural store might have to shutter its doors. This is our collective struggle. All of us do better when people experiencing hunger do better. All of us lose when they don't
