Corporations don’t pay enough to feed you and your family, so you use SNAP.
Then he punishes you for using SNAP instead of taking on the companies that don’t pay you what you’re worth.
We sometimes forget Trump is just an asshole boss. He always finds a way to blame workers.

Maybe nobody in the great big world cares about this.
But the public libraries in tiny Jefferson County in Northern Appalachia were in danger of losing their tax funding thanks to right-wing book banners. And we won. The library's funding is safe!!!!!

AOC shows up with massive food truck to feed TSA workers at LaGuardia Airport since they are not getting paid. There’s also additional fresh food for the community that federal workers can come and pick up if needed. 🙌🏾 #CityHarvest

9 in 10 low-income ACA enrollees—mostly in states Trump won—will pay the price if ACA tax credits expire.
And yet, Trump and House Republicans aren't even in DC to try and fix this crisis.
They are quite literally abandoning their voters.

Columbus bragged in letters about raping 9-year-old girls & selling them into slavery.
So of course, Trump is using him to replace Indigenous Peoples' Day, calling Columbus the "first American hero."
Maybe he can rename it, Trump-Epstein-Columbus Day.

Did you know there’s a special election THIS Tuesday in Iowa that could break the GOP super majority in the Iowa state senate?
I had no idea.
Just saw it on Tik Tok.
Now…just out of curiosity, do you think the DNC should have rallied national Dems to support this election?
