At a time when Americans cannot agree on many things, unions have achieved popularity across nearly every age group regardless of partisan affiliation or education.

The Trump administration's failure to fund SNAP benefits will have devastating impacts on families' budgets and local economies. SNAP supports households getting food on tables, generates 100,000s of jobs, and every dollar returns $1.50 to the local economy.

SNAP Cuts Are Likely To Harm More Than 27,000 Retailers Nationwide
A new analysis shows that 27,000 retailers in areas with the highest shares of SNAP participants would be the most likely to bear the brunt of proposed drastic cuts to food assistance.

As leaders on the right politicize antisemitism, they also fail to fully condemn proud antisemites like Nick Fuentes—more on this from @neeratanden.bsky.social and Ben Olinsky:
Leaders on the Right Must Unequivocally Condemn Antisemitism
Tucker Carlson’s interview with white nationalist Nick Fuentes has divided the right, exposing a dangerous and complicated relationship with antisemitism.

The government shutdown has left 29,000 public lands employees off the job temporarily.

But Trump’s long-term plan? Make permanent layoffs, gut conservation programs, and hand over our national treasures to oil and gas CEOs.
