Boycott CBS.

Why are ICE agents being paid during the shutdown, but not air traffic controllers? 🤨

Sen. Kelly: “Donald Trump's official position on the government shutdown is that he will let hardworking Americans go hungry until we give in to his demands to let health care premiums go up dramatically for millions of Americans.”

Trump trying to tell Americans the price of Walmart's Thanksgiving meal in box is cheaper this year. Of course it is BECAUSE in true corporate greed fashion, it includes less food! WE CAN'T TRUST BILLIONAIRES & OLIGARCHS WE CAN'T TRUST TRUMP www.cnn.com/2025/11/06/p...

Important questions.

The AP tracked down details of some of the people killed in President Trump's military strikes on drug smugglers he describes as narco-terrorists. They were, with one exception, not high-level criminals. One was a fisherman. One was a bus driver; another a taxi driver. apnews.com/article/trum...

Prices since Trump took office: -Groceries: ⬆️ 2.7% -Utilities: ⬆️ 11% -ACA premiums: ⬆️ 26% -Overall consumer prices: ⬆️ 3% Trump: “I don't want to hear about the affordability.”

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now. Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it. Don’t forget this.

Details matter.

Not enough people are talking about this: Even before Trump cut off SNAP funding, he and Republicans in Congress made the biggest cuts to food assistance in U.S. history.

One analytical model shows that, as of November 5th, the dismantling of U.S.A.I.D. has already caused the deaths of 600,000 people, two-thirds of them children. https://newyorkermag.visitlink.me/jUzNSc

🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."

This really hasn’t gotten enough attention this week. @wired.com #ICE www.wired.com/story/fbi-wa...

Health care costs are skyrocketing for 20 million Americans. House Republicans can’t even be bothered to come to work. Republicans need to come to the negotiating table and help fix the health care crisis THEY CREATED.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

On the ballot today: -NYC: Mayor -Minneapolis: Mayor -VA: Governor, Lt. Governor, AG, and state House -NJ: Governor -PA: State Supreme Court -GA: Public Service Commission -TX: TX-18 U.S. House -CA: Prop 50 This is a reminder of how crucial it is to vote up AND down the ballot.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits. This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans. As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year. Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase. This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

Bomb threats to heavily democrat districts sent out on election day, similar incidents targeting democrat prominent polling stations occurred during the 2024 US election. Trump, MAGA, and Israel have been spreading violent rhetoric to discourage or influence voters throughout the campaign.

For the second time in a little over a week, ICE officers reportedly shot someone in Los Angeles. This time, it was a US citizen who ICE officers shot from behind after he warned them that children would soon gather for the bus where they had pulled over a vehicle.

Another big endorsement for Andrew Cuomo. And it only cost $959 million in tax breaks.

When the GOP dismisses SNAP recipients by telling them to 'just get jobs,' they ignore that 70% of those individuals are already employed full-time.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.

On Friday night, Donald Trump held a Great Gatsby-inspired Halloween party themed "A little party never killed nobody.” On Monday morning, the Trump administration told a judge it will only PARTIALLY fund SNAP and 40 million Americans should expect delays for food benefits.

“60 Minutes paid me a lot of money” In an edited-out part of the Trump interview Trump brags about extorting CBS for millions for… editing out a part of Kamala’s interview. (He also makes it clear new CBS chief Bari Weiss is in his pocket) #RIPCBS

This is incredible, even for Exxon. Exxon found to have funded right-wing think tanks to spread #climate change denial across Latin America in a "coordinated campaign to make the global south “less inclined” to support the UN-led climate treaty process." www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

US approved sale of chips to UAE after UAE put $2 billion into Trump’s crypto company.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 91st day out of the last 103. 12 days of work in 103 days. With full pay and benefits. The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown. It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

@neguse.house.gov gives a lesson on how to reframe a journalist’s stupid question about #SNAP! 💪🏼

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more. That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs. It looks a lot more like preparation for war. Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

Here's an example of how Trump's corruption factory works. 1. Coinbase put $46M into elections to help Trump allies. 2. Sends him a huge check for his inauguration. 3. Trump drops SEC lawsuit against Coinbase. 4. Trump demands big donation from Coinbase for ballroom. Done.

Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

TACO is NOT building a ballroom. He is building a bunker. Booze Allen is not an architecture firm. It’s a defense contractor.

Neguse: "It is outrageous that the Trump administration can come up with $40 billion to bail out Argentina and refuses to spend the money that Congress has appropriated to feed hungry families in America."

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

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.

Last year, Andrew Cuomo brought in nearly $5 million for "consulting." We don't know who paid him. Or who he now owes.

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

Worth remembering…

"Ms. Monahan, 61, paid $439 a month for her coverage in 2025. When she went to shop for next year’s plan, she learned that the monthly cost would jump to $1,059 for the same plan with an annual deductible of $7,100..." Thanks, GOP congress! Thanks, Trump! www.nytimes.com/2025/10/29/h...

It is all ONE BIG SCAM!!!
