How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

Trump's "four dimensional chess" with people's lives.
Someone should go there and show them the clips of Trump's Great Gatsby party. I bet they'd be so happy to know he's having fun.
This is the food distribution line at Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas 11/7/25. This is what Trump doesn't want you to see.

Psst! Hey, Senate Dems, now would be a great time to demand concessions from GOP leadership.
Don’t end the shutdown unless they fully fund ACA, reverse the shutdown firings, undo some of the DOGE cuts, and have a vote to release the Epstein files.
You have leverage after last night. Use it.

Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

EVERY election matters. This is bog for Georgia and may be a bellwether for other states.
CONFIRMED: Georgia Democrats have won their first statewide elections for non-federal offices since *2006.*
The two Dem challengers, Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard, have ousted two GOP Republican commissioners on the state's utility commission.

This is a super important but underreported dynamic of SNAP. It was the same with the direct $$ distributed for kids during the pandemic.
Reporter: SNAP is so stimulative to our economy. There are lots of rural stores where 60% of their sales are SNAP sales. So that rural store might have to shutter its doors. This is our collective struggle. All of us do better when people experiencing hunger do better. All of us lose when they don't

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

Guess it’s time to drop DoorDash too! They donated $1,000,000 to the Cuomo campaign. Leave it to corporations to try to undermine the public
