The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.
Damn right we did!!!
Reason 4857 why health care should never be for profit: AI DEATH PANELS.
This is the same kind of program used to deny claims at United Health, and they want to use this for VA claims, too.
I’m so angry about this COVID vaccine thing that I can barely see straight
Lisa Cook lawsuit v. Trump:
"Independent Federal Reserve also prevents presidential administrations from using monetary policy for self-serving political ends.. such as ensuring the govt cannot simply print more money to finance debt. This practice, when unchecked, can lead to economic collapse "
If someone tells you there's nothing we can do about gun violence beyond thoughts and prayers, remind them:
—Gun laws in other countries have prevented mass shootings
—More guns don't make us safer
—A majority of Americans want gun reform
We don't have to live like this.
Remember when COVID vaccines were first available? Remember how they saved lives and helped us move toward normalcy? Remember how relieved and grateful we were? Remember how amazing our healthcare workers were? Remember how science rescued us?
he's going to kill of us. and i guess that's the whole point.
Hey MSM, ask RFK Jr to define 'inflammation'. Ask him to define 'mitochondria'. Ask him how, specifically, that he can tell how children have 'mitochondrial challenges'. Ask him what, specifically, about children's faces and body movement indicates inflammation. He won't know. He's making shit up.
70 years ago, on this date, Emmett Till was kidnapped and brutally murdered by white men.
His family, including his cousin who was with him at the time, is repeating the train ride he took from Chicago to Mississippi in 1955 to mark the anniversary
Americans do not want to live under a military state, that was never the American dream. Our country was founded on the promise of liberty, not soldiers patrolling our streets. The Constitution is clear: the military does not police civilians.
I no longer wish to be part of this country.
I no longer wish to be part of this country.
I no longer wish to be part of this country.
I no longer wish to be part of this country.
I no longer wish to be part of this country.
Wait until Trump uses his lap dog Mike Horowitz to find a reason to fire Jerome Powell.
Let’s be clear: deporting Kilmar Abrego Garcia to Uganda makes no sense—it’s not his home country. Nothing about this process has been fair. ICE is targeting him with cruelty. This is the weaponization of government, not justice.
As a former Texas State Rep, let me be clear: LOCKING Rep. Nicole Collier inside the chamber is beyond outrageous.
Forcing elected officials to sign “permission slips” & take police escorts to leave? That’s not procedure. That’s some old Jim Crow playbook.
Our constitutions are not the same. We have been very proud of always holding elections, no matter what else was going on. I am so tired of Trump shitting on the United States of America.
Given recent reports that ChatGPT handles 2.5bn requests a day, the total consumption of GPT-5 could reach the daily electricity demand of 1.5m US homes.

We can't afford Medicaid.
We can't afford Medicare.
We can't afford SNAP.
We can't afford to feed kids at school.
But we can afford a 90,000 sqft expansion at the white house.
They're just gonna keep stepping up the waste, while robbing us on all the levels.

my husband has spent his career at the fed. we know this is coming. we aren't sure when- but we live with this knowledge and i'm tired of people telling us not to plan for it (plan for powell's successor is in place already).
Q: Trump has obviously personally pressured you. Are you concerned that conduct might impact the Fed's independence?
POWELL: I think that an independent central bank has been an arrangement that has served the public well & as long as it serves the public well it should continue & be respected
Today’s AI Action Plan is a missed opportunity. Although promoting innovation is important, the Plan whiffs by failing to include measures to help ensure that AI development and deployment happens responsibly and addresses potential harms. Instead, the Plan includes actively detrimental provisions.
"The point at which you have the Court again signaling to the administration *the problem here is the lower courts, not you for violating the law and violating the lower court orders*, then I think the Court is truly operating in an anti-constitutional way." @leahlitman.bsky.social:
Speaker Mike Johnson wants you to know, "I'm grateful to God for being able to get this Bill done. Our rights did not come from the government; they came from God himself."
On behalf of Democracy loving Americans, I say this to Speaker Mike Johnson: Go F*ck Yourself.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
It’s easier to build concentration camps than hospitals because you don’t have to worry about the safety of the occupants.
I wish begging senators outside of my home state not to inflict (additional, even worse) harm on the American people weren't on my to do list, but alas, HERE WE ARE.
1/ If Justice Barrett thinks we need to go back to what the Founding Fathers intended, I’ve got news for her. Their biggest concern was avoiding tyranny. So they created 3 branches of gov’t & divvied up the power the people (that’s us) were allowing the gov’t to use to create order for all of us.
"Children I have met in CBP custody well up with tears as they describe separation from their sibling or the indignity of using a toilet in the middle of a jail cell. Yet other children I’ve met have bravely stood up to CBP agents who have thrown away their toys or yelled at them for playing."
