I’m watching Cankles McTacotits on 60 Minutes right now and they fact checked him in real time when he said Russia and China were conducting nuclear testing. Our military leaders in charge of testing said they were not. It was a lovely journalistic moment for a change.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

I’m just going to say it… It’s pretty damn validating to hear Barack Obama say the same things we’ve been shouting for months, and longer.

Obama: "The economy has been really good for some of Trump's billionaire friends. It's been good for some finance bros and well-connected corporations who have seen their tax bill go down. But for ordinary families, costs have not gone down, they've gone up."

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

BREAKING: Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

NEW: Two federal judges ruled the Trump administration’s decision to suspend food aid benefits for tens of millions of Americans during the government shutdown is likely unlawful and that US officials must use contingency funding to at least partially keep the program operational bit.ly/3JqTEcQ

Federal judge orders Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits out of contingency fund share.google/hrlBJhGaZNaR... Trump administration must release the funds And should so IMMEDIATELY If they delay This is ALL ON REPUBLICANS RELEASE THE FUNDS

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

A new report has found that price hikes in April and May went beyond what the announced tariffs could reasonably explain.

A lot has happened this year but I feel like we should always remind people that this happened followed by him deciding to starve the poorest children in the world simply because he wanted to. We probably shouldn’t forget about this

Kristi Noem is telling bald-faced lies about ICE arrests. More than 70% of those detained have no criminal convictions. 170+ of those arrested or detained have been American citizens.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.

Independents blame Trump and the GOP for the shutdown by a 2:1 margin. Trump’s approval with people under 30 has completely cratered. 63% of Americans disapprove of Trump’s management of the federal government. #GOPShutdown

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

More than 41 million Americans get SNAP benefits. Including about 16 million children. Republicans in Congress want them all to go to bed hungry. Call them and tell them what you think about that. (202)-224-3121 usafacts.org/answers/how-...

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

Donald Trump deleted this from the government website. Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Early voting is easy and fast There was no line Nobody ahead or coming in behind me Today my county has polling places open until 8pm Take advantage They are even open various times Saturday and Sunday 💙🩵💙 Enjoy the calm

⚠️ Years ago I wrote a pursuasive paper on any topic. I chose "donate 5 items or $ to a local food bank monthly." I interviewed 2 people; the managers of a homeless shelter & food bank. Both stated it'd help people tremendously. Money stretches further as they can buy it wholesale or reduced cost. ⚠️

📌FACT: 42 million Americans -- mostly seniors, families with children, people with disabilities, Republicans and Democrats -- are going to go hungry on Nov. 1, because the grotesque Trump, who claims he has unlimited powers, wants them to.

Tariffs on Chinese EVs are so silly. China's car companies aren't going to just throw up their hands and say, "gee golly, we've got a tariff, let's stop innovating." Instead, they'll keep zooming along & we'll fall farther behind. You can't become world class by playing in the amateur leagues.

When did making kids go hungry become a Christian value?

The GOP in Congress are worse than useless. They are craven enablers of murder.

To be clear: this is complete bullshit. The 12th amendment states that anyone who is ineligible to run for POTUS is also ineligible to run for VP.

Truer words have never been spoken

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.

I need to say this. The fascist PRETEND they don't know who receives SNAP in the U.S. They actually do know and they lie because they need to paint an alternate reality of who is "benefiting"

The reason they’re trying to break everything so fast is that they know they’re likely in for a historic loss in the midterms (even with their current redistricting bullshit). Winning state and local elections and getting a House majority (at minimum) is our priority right now.

"President Trump could act today to make sure families don’t go hungry — but instead he’s using hunger as punishment," said U.S. Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández (D-NM) said Thursday. buff.ly/XhCYQg9

The con worked, until it didn’t? ROGAN: “I really thought they were just going to go after the criminals… I really thought there was enough gang members.” ME: He still doesn’t get it. That’s what Trump wanted everyone to believe. They’re not even trying to go after “the criminals”.
