Again with the Captain Obvious but DAMN groceries are expensive.
Republicans often say we “can’t afford” Social Security.
Their solution?
Cut benefits for working people who’ve paid into the program for our entire working lives.
They never suggest that the wealthiest people in America should pay into Social Security all year long, just like the rest of us.
In Barja, Lebanon, thousands of families are sheltering in schools after being displaced from their homes. WCK teams quickly set up a kitchen to meet the need—and are serving meals a day to displaced families, many of them cooked by community members who are displaced themselves. #ChefsForMidEast

It’s like not a single person surrounding Trump studied one thing about Afghanistan. When a bombing campaign intentionally makes life this miserable for civilians, all it does it make hardline leadership more attractive and become bulletin board material for extremist groups.
Trump's illegal Iran War is destined to end in failure. Already, hardline leadership is emerging that will be more hostile to America than the leaders we killed. And there is no way to eliminate their nuclear program with a bombing campaign. This whole war is pointless.
Our politics are fundamentally corrupt. And our economy is rigged against working people because of this corruption.
"It has become clear that Trump had no plan in Iran other than to strike it, knock out the leaders he didn’t like, and hope the Iranian people would rise up and put in place new leaders he could deal with..."

Her work changed care itself, by putting nursing instruction in public schools. Henry Street Settlement and Wald helped establish the National Organization for Public Health Nursing and Columbia University's School of Nursing. Wald was also an advocate for child welfare, labor rights, and women's suffrage. Her influence extended to public policy aimed at improving living conditions and access to healthcare for marginalized populations.
