DOGE Is Bringing Back a Deadly Disease
Cuts to agencies that protect workers’ lungs are going to result in the resurgence of a preventable illness.

@sanders.senate.gov: "Even if by some miracle you got 60 votes, where do you think that amendment would go? Speaker Johnson has made it very clear that he's not going to entertain it. Trump would never sign it. So it is an empty gesture. It bothers me that people want to raise false hopes."

This year, the CFPB brought the fewest cases against big banks and giant companies for cheating consumers in the history of the CFPB.
Trump and his hatchet man Russ Vought are letting grifters and scammers off the hook – and trying to kill the agency that would hold them accountable.

Shapiro: He rose to some prominence by writing a book about growing up in Appalachia, where there are a whole lot of people who get SNAP. He made millions of dollars off telling their stories, and then he turned his damn back on those very people he likes to write about and claim as his own.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits.
This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans.
As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.
