The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans.

And it’s all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich.

Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax — it's cruel.

Tulsi Gabbard is using a White House press briefing to accuse Hillary Clinton of using tranquilizers. Dystopian stuff.

My reaction to that completely batshit press briefing by Tulsi Gabbard in which she accused Obama of “treasonous conspiracy” is that whatever is in the Epstein files about Trump must be really really bad

How Did Jeffrey Epstein Escape Justice? The case of super-rich sex offender Jeffrey Epstein is so disturbing, not only because dozens of women say he victimized them as young girls, and not only because he went almost unpunished, but becaus...

How did Epstein originally escape justice? As explained here, those upright GOP lawyers at Kirkland & Ellis, notably the late Ken Starr, cooked up a crooked plea deal with their former partner Alex Acosta -- later a Trump cabinet member. Many questions for Congress to probe.

By 2029 the GOP may have entrenched their coup by "legal" methods

Gerrymandering-permitted by MAGA judges

Changes in citizenship laws and deportations

Quashing dissent by jailing protesters

And radical "interpretation" of the Constitution

We still don't fully comprehend the danger America faces

Justice Sonia Sotomayor delivered a blistering dissent to an "emergency" decision that illegally enables Trump to plow ahead with laying off nearly 1,400 employees at the Department of Education while a case challenging the plan plays out.

So by this twisted logic, a child who dies of cancer does not have “obvious purpose” and that child’s life would not someday bear the “fruits of divine providence”. What a flawed view of Christianity & the world. These people will twist themselves into pretzels to overlook what this monster is doing

Trump's big, ugly budget megabill gives ICE more cops than the FBI, more jails than the federal Bureau of Prisons, and a larger budget than most countries' militaries. Once the bill is fully implemented, nowhere in America will be safe from Trump's secret police state.

Birth control is healthcare. Period.

Since the Supreme Court overturned Roe 3 years ago, reproductive rights have been under attack. Pharmacies have refused to fill birth control prescriptions and denied purchases.

I introduced the Access to Birth Control Act to protect people’s healthcare.

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries.

Always money for war.

“You exploited the murder of a lifetime public servant and her husband to post some sick burns about Democrats. Did you see this as an excellent opportunity to get likes and retweet? Have you absolutely no conscience? No decency?
I pray to God that none of you ever go through anything like this.”

Mike Lee was "surprised" Tina Smith confronted him about his idiotic tweets—because these Republicans are used to Democrats not showing up ready to fight.

If you stand tall and call them on their bullshit, they fold like paper tigers. They're weak men who pretend to be strong.

Trump realizes people are turning on him, which means he will get more desperate, aggressive, extreme, and violent.

These are all actions of a weak regime and weak man.

“ICE” as snatching people from churches now. Never forget they said this👇🏾

MAN AT CHURCH: “We don’t want this in our property.”

ICE: “The whole country is our property.”

No IDs shown, non-government out of state plates, basic tactical vests that just say police. Who are these men?
