We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

What everyone should understand is that Donald Trump could just pay SNAP benefits so people don't go hungry.
He's choosing not to. He is choosing to appeal to SCOTUS. He is choosing cruelty.

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

Trump has threatened states to undo any SNAP benefits issued to recipients. Check your EBT cards folks - and get to the store. I personally don’t receive these benefits but if you do, Trump is already trying to take it away. This is heartbreaking! How is this even America⁉️

The regime despises poor people, yes. And importantly it does not fear poor people as a political force. It's important to take both of these together to understand what they are doing with SNAP. They do not believe that they will incur lasting political costs for their current actions.

The median barista made just $14,674.
That's a 6,666-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio.
The largest of all S&P 500 companies.
Every single worker should walk out.
Americans deserve a livable wage. Enough!
