LA: “They took a US citizen father out and left a toddler in the backseat. Two heavily armed border patrol agents got in that car and drove the child and the vehicle away.” What are we doing?

Far Northside! There's an in person 🧊 watch & community defense training on Saturday. Scan QR code to register. Training is being organized by West Ridge neighbors with assistance from Protect Rogers Park. Childcare available & interpretation available in Spanish and Urdu. Wheelchair accessible.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

Excessive force. PERIOD! They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor. 📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

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.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

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?

This is the president of the United States taking a break from gold-and-marble interior renovations to say he’ll defy a court order to feed hungry Americans. Nero would be proud.

One last time: Every time I post it he goes up five more points.

Attn Pennsylvania voters: Reports are coming in of signs near polling places reading “No Kings, No Retention” with a crown-slash logo. These signs are fake and misleading, part of a disinformation push. In Pennsylvania, you should vote YES to retain the Supreme Court justices on the ballot.

For millions of Americans, today will bring the chance to be heard. If there's an election where you live, then you get to send a message on the policies and leadership you believe in - and begin changing the trajectory of this country.

Grijalva: I do think that Speaker Johnson misplayed his hand. There are people all over this nation who were out there with signs that said, “Swear her in.” They wouldn’t have even known about me otherwise. Thank you for highlighting how corrupt the system you’re protecting really is.

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.

What he said Part 3: 💯 🎯

Yes, Trump’s cruelty IS staggering.

LOUDER!

14 strikes. 61 dead. “But the administration does not know their identities.” 🤷🏼 🛶 💣 theweek.com/politics/pen...

Canada says “elbows up.” I say for America, “cameras out.” Film every last one of these brutal criminals. We will need the evidence for their trials.

Good question, Junior!

The President of the United States is so upset about his failed campaign for a Nobel Prize that he's now trying to claim someone else's prize as his own. Pathetic.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

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.

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.

Cost to fund SNAP and keep 42 million people from starving: $100 billion Cost of lost revenue due to tax cuts for the richest Americans in the top 1%: $100 billion One is decried as "welfare." One is not. Why?

these guys just love doing this. nothing like 8 storm troopers beating the absolute shit out of a defenseless old person www.independent.co.uk/news/world/a...

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

🫢 😳 😧 🤢 🤮 😡 I have an even worse feeling about THIS:

This is disgusting. Blatant corruption at the highest level in plain sight and Oversight Chair Comer Pyle morphs into a combination of Mr. Magoo and Sgt. Schultz.

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."

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

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

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.

Back in the 1960s, the Smothers Brothers made fun of President Lyndon Johnson and his policies many times on their popular television show. The president wrote them a letter in response.

Chicago City Council member searching for agents on bike during school pick-up: "We are gonna have to be as relentless as ICE"

Gallego: "It's murder. It's very simple. If this president feels they are doing something illegally, then he should be using the Coast Guard. If this is an act of war, then you use our military and then you come and talk to us first. But this is murder ... it's disgusting."

While we’re on the subject of Ronald Reagan.

Congress basically doesn’t exist at this point

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

Worst. President. EVER.

Hunger in America makes Page One in Knoxville, Tenn, .. .. Indianapolis, Boston, Milwaukee .. #SNAP #Shutdown

Very concerning, if true.

If a temporary resident of the White House can totally demolish the East Wing to build a gaudy ballroom, without any authority, approval, or regulation, he can tear down the rest of the White House to build a Walmart. That this destruction is allowed underscores how off the rails our country is now.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 81st day out of the last 93. 12 days of work in over 3 months. 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.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom
