An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Vladeck: Even if you accept the predicate that these drug cartels are foreign terrorist organizations, that still doesn’t get you anywhere close to legal authority to use military force. They’re trying to blur and sort of collapse the distinction between two regimes we have…

Today, it’s Prince Andrew.

Tomorrow, it’ll be Donald Trump.

The Jeffrey Epstein skeleton isn’t meant to stay in their closets—it will come for all of the perpetrators eventually.

It doesn’t matter how much the Republican Party tries to cover it up.

The truth will out—it’s only a matter of time.

It’s painfully clear. By refusing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, Speaker Johnson’s covering up Jeffrey Epstein’s global sex-trafficking ring.

Hey GOP: Bring back the House, cancel your health care cuts, reopen the government and release the files.

Padilla: It’s not just undocumented folks who are being detained and arrested. It’s legal immigrants—even US citizens. We know of at least 170 US citizens who have been caught up in these raids and put in detention centers.

It’s the intended effect of this administration to stoke fear and terror

What exactly is a “Democrat program”?

Medicare? Medicaid? Health insurance? 🤔
Trump: "We'll be making cuts that will be permanent. And we're only going to cut Democrat programs. I hate to tell you."

The Trump playbook is to attack those who they think no one will stand up for.

The way to stop Trump’s authoritarian coup is to prove him wrong. We need to all vocally stand up for our trans neighbors and protect them from attack.
The FBI is preparing to label transgender people as “violent extremists” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s murder:

One of my favorite SF traditions is going to Flower Piano at the botanical garden — which is free for SF residents! Imagining a better future for our city isn’t just about making it affordable for working people — it’s also about creating joy and art that is available to all.

We do need H1B reform to make sure companies don’t abuse H1B to undercut American labor and to stop exploitation of H1B workers by letting workers quit jobs without losing their visa.

This won’t do either of those. What this will do is create chaos for employees and employers.

I agree with Cruz, but notice how he is too scared to name the actual culprit: Donald Trump. Carr is going after free speech because Trump wants it.

And he’s wrong about Dems abusing this power. When Dems were in power, we could have done what Trump is doing now. We didn’t.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) warned that letting the government threaten to censor voices it doesn’t like could hurt the political right if Democrats return to power.
