This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Never in the history of the US has any president openly and repeatedly called for the investigation, arrest & prosecution of his political opponents. While many continue to shrug these things off and normalize them, I will never stop pointing out that this is what autocrats do.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

If your savings account can’t buy you a yacht, maybe stop voting like it can.

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Eric is a Missouri congressman. He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

ICE followed the mother into a school and aggressively detained her along with her children. This is so heartbreaking 💔

The decline isn’t subtle anymore.

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country. He is a clear and present danger.

A short term deal to extend ACA subsidies one year isn’t ideal but it would instantly make another extension a central issue in the midterms which wouldn’t be the worst thing for Dems.

So that Mellon guy who gives away cash from his inheritance doesn’t have any left for SNAP?

BREAKING: A Department of Homeland Security officer shot at an unarmed black man during a traffic stop in DC, and the DC police officer said he was told by superiors not to mention the shooting in his incident report. 1/ www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

This is the guy who lied on the stand at a trial in LA, telling the jury he witnessed the defendant assault the ICE officer, when the video showed the ICE officer assault the defendant. The jury took an hour to acquit. He's referred to immigrants as "filth, trash, and scum."

The government shutdown has put SNAP benefits at risk for millions of Americans. Travis Peters, an urban farmer in Detroit, is giving out free produce tomorrow 'If it's getting tight, my food is free. Don’t even sweat that'

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

We have a murderer and felon in the WH. Our Secretary of Defense is also a murderer. We must get enablers like Susan Collins out of the Senate.

U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis seeks assurances that Kilmar Abrego Garcia won’t be deported to Liberia in violation of a court order. Thank you, Judge Xinis.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP. A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify. I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

And I would like to challenge this person to get a real job

The disappearance of America’s leadership class at a time like this means that the rest of us have to be leaders. We can no longer wait to be led by those with the power and authority to lead. You must lead, I must lead, all of us must lead. We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.

🔥 @jessicatarlov.bsky.social : “No one can confirm we’ve actually been taking out drug traffickers… the admiral in charge resigned… all these people have been blown up without any evidence of a crime… the government’s story is not adding up.”

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Yes climate breakdown means more turbulence for flyers. It’s also on track to heat the planet by 4C+ this century, kill billions of people & collapse our civilization. Keep on seeing the deadliest crisis our species has ever faced framed as some minor consumerist inconvenience.

Good evening from Queens. New York is not for sale.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

I also think he is full of shit.. 💩 #shitfacejohnston

I have said this on multiple occasions, but it won’t be the Epstein list that removes him from power. It will be the economic pain.

Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) here. DJT is not a health expert of any sort. Never take his advice.

Thank you, New York City. Now let’s win.

Reminder: November 4th is extremely important, don’t forget to vote!

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.

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.

When donors build what taxpayers can’t see...democracy has a transparency problem. The danger isn’t that it’s a bunker—it’s that you’re not allowed to ask.👇 www.jackhopkinsnow.com

signs like these are up all over Chicago cafes and storefronts (here, cafes in Brighton Park and Back of the Yards) warning ICE not to enter without a judicial warrant

It's been 32 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

If a democratic Speaker had refused to call the House into session for OVER A MONTH there would be wall to wall coverage on all networks. What the fuck is wrong with our media

I love you ALL. Please, no matter how bad it gets, do NOT ever GIVE UP! There are MILLIONS of us who have your back. I PROMISE I will do everything in my power to help you. I can't do this alone, your support TRULY means the world to me. There is *always* HOPE. Strength is in us ALL. NEVER GIVE UP!

💯

Americans still don't realize how bad it has gotten and how much worse it is going to get. Immense destruction, pain and suffering, and we're not even at the tip of it.

CHICAGO — “Border Patrol Commander Gregory Bovino under scrutiny after he was recorded throwing what appeared to be a tear gas canister at protesters, attorneys accuse him of violating a temporary restraining order” www.nbcnews.com/politics/pol...

Timothy Mellon is the donor of the $130 million for the troops. In case you’re wondering what he’s like, he said in his autobiography that Black people have become “even more belligerent” because of social programs, and people who receive government assistance are slaves.

A dispatch from the Upper East Side. Across the five boroughs, tens of thousands of volunteers are meeting their neighbors, building community, and winning this election, one door at a time. GOTV continues tomorrow: zohranfornyc.com/gotv
