What did people do before SNAP?”
They died.
Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.
They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore
The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

We’re putting food on the table in Argentina ($40 billion), yet MAGA Republicans are threatening to withhold SNAP funds already allocated by Congress. MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again.

The RIFs that began Friday will reportedly cut 65% of CISA’s 2,540 employees, one of the dumbest and most dangerous moves imaginable. CISA defends the nation’s cyber and critical infrastructure. Destroying it now only makes sense if you’re afraid of election integrity.

I keep asking, where tf is Congress? Do we have a Congress? What is happening
Today I spoke with Greg Bovino, a top U.S. Border Patrol chief, as he led dozens of feds in military gear through downtown Chicago.
He said they were arresting folks based on “how they look.”
“How do they look compared to, say, you?” he said, referring to me.

As Americans and as New Yorkers, we'll never forget September 11, 2001. First responders sacrificed everything in the course of their service. Strangers saved each other's lives. The worst day brought out the best in so many.
I'm thinking of everyone mourning, and remembering, today.

Dear Noble Prize Committee,
I have brought about more peace than any leader in the history of the world.
I brought peace to the Middle East (twice). The first time they even gave my son-in-law $2 billion to say thank you. That was very nice.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

The United States is a nation beyond the rule of law.
People are being kidnapped on the streets by men in masks.
They are being disappeared and deported to foreign concentration camps.
A Canadian died in their hands. We must demand full access and independent investigation of his mistreatment.

As major American cities brace for potential terrorist attacks in retaliation against the U.S. air strikes on Iran, it’s reassuring to know that Trump just appointed a 22-year-old former gardener and grocery store assistant to lead U.S. terror prevention. 🥺
