Hey, thank you for clearing things up for me in tonight’s A-block. I was unsure how to look at this situation and was simply at a loss. Now I see how the senate is more complex than I thought, and how leadership is structured and should not just be written off. Thank you

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.

Because bigotry is confused with patriotism and because these “patriots” are seen by the press corps as the only authentic Americans. Everyone else, and I mean this, is second class.
"When Democrats or liberals question the morals of Trump voters, the press treats it as a major scandal. But Trump expresses a desire to cover protestors with feces — essentially saying that anyone who disagrees with him is shit — the media is barely willing to talk about it. Why?"
Trump shits on America. Why doesn’t the media care?
For many news orgs, Trump’s fascist coalition is uniquely legitimate.

Sen. Sanders: If we are the wealthiest nation in history, one might assume that we have the best health care, our kids are getting the best education, etc. But nobody believes that. You are dealing with a relatively small number of people who have an unbelievable amount of wealth and power

Truth here, but please recall that Trump is admittedly being a psycho. “Adding to the rhetoric” and having words misled by some political actors may be a valid fear but in considering blame - Trump and his pals boast abt the rotten things they are doing and thinking

Reminder that we still don’t know what happened to the 1,000 immigrants who went missing from Alligator Alcatraz.
Their families and attorneys can’t locate them.
They’ve been disappeared.
People are still being sent to that horrible place without any due process.

I’m so mad I could scream.
Have you heard about this little boy who saw another kid with a gun at school, took it from him, disassembled the weapon, removed the bullets to make sure it was safe?
The school fucking expelled him for a year!!! After he prevented another fucking school shooting!!
