This auto pen weirdness has got to be projection, just like everything else, right? Like they are making such a show of it all because Miller, Vance & NaziCo have gone two town with illegal signatures. Who is with me?

Damn, I wanna see that guy arrested.
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Reopen government, swear in Adelita Grivala, release the Epstein Files, restore healthcare subsidies, and fund SNAP.

@agdanrayfield.bsky.social @tinakotek.bsky.social I hear people asking: I know Oregon and ODHS moved quickly to restore SNAP for people. Will this SCOTUS order prevent any Oregonians from accessing or using their benefits?

There is no doubt at all that the Trump Administration spent the emergency USDA SNAP fund and they may have even spent the regular SNAP funds.
In this article they claim USDA would have to dig in couches for something that isn’t there.

Full SNAP benefits start to go out even as the Trump administration appeals
A federal judge ordered the government to fully fund food aid by Friday. The Trump administration's appeal was denied, so it's asking appealed, saying it's up to Congress to fund SNAP.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

It’s amazing to watch the grassroots activation happening around food insecurity in our county Democratic Party. Scores of people finding ways to help, sharing info, taking action to get food into the hands of housed and unhoused neighbors. #Grassroots #orpol
This is what organizing looks like: neighbors supporting neighbors, building power through collective action.

Action Alert: Help Our Neighbors During the Food Security Emergency - Multnomah County Democrats
We're calling on Multnomah County Democrats to show up for our neighbors with three simple actions: donate to Oregon Food Bank, volunteer time, and join local events to support neighbors in need.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages
