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.

It still boggles my mind that so many people couldn't grasp last year how significantly more morally depraved a second Trump term would be in comparison to the first. And how so many people still can't comprehend that our national crisis isn't about politics, but simple morality.

Social Security is NOT a handout.
It is a benefit earned with every paycheck, and it must be protected and expanded, not cut, privatized, or means-tested.

The Life of a Showgirl is just not it. Not a single song sounds like anything remotely related to the showgirl life. A good portion of the lyrics are downright petty, not poetic, and the album reminds me of something someone who peaked in high school would put out.

Right up until the minute Trump’s business ventures like Trump Shuttle, Trump Atlantic City casinos, Trump Steaks, Trump University, etc, etc, went bankrupt, Trump was claiming they were a huge success with big things right around the corner. Just like now with the economy.
