I'm so proud to be part of this. I was really losing sleep at the thought that there would be children going to bed hungry in my community.

No one deserves to go hungry. Please help if you can.

#SnapBackAtHunger
SHL is proud to introduce SNAP Back at Hunger, a program to support the food insecure while the government withholds SNAP benefits.

Caring for others is at the very base of humanism & we're answering the call to serve our community.

Due to ongoing votes in the U.S. Senate, the SCDP must postpone our “On the Road with Cory Booker” tour

We remain excited to welcome Senator Cory Booker to South Carolina, and we will be rescheduling the tour once it is possible to do so.

Thank you so much for understanding.

“You don’t just flip a switch…” —Mike Johnson

It took them less than six months to pass a budget bill that gave billionaires permanent tax breaks and stripped away nearly $1T in Medicaid from Americans and ACA susbsidies.

Also notable — Trump starting issuing tariffs 10 days after being sworn in.
Mike Johnson: "That's the reason the inflation is up, the cost of living is up so high -- because of the policies of the previous administration. Now, we're working to root those policies out and implement our own, but it takes a little time."

Judge Mark Wolf - Why I Am Resigning?
Trump is using law for partisan purposes, targeting his adversaries while sparing friends & donors from investigation, prosecution, and punishment. This is contrary to everything that I have stood for 50 years in DOJ.

President Trump is relentlessly attacking our First Amendment rights.

We're using every tool at our disposal to protect freedom of speech.

The Trump administration is cracking down on Americans’ freedom of speech with a new viciousness, but the First Amendment won’t go down without a fight.

Hey everyone,
I see a LOT of people so furious at Dems they're registering as Independents.

I get it. I really do.

Just be aware that most states have closed primaries so you won't be able to vote in those. And as you smart folks know, primaries are critical to weed out wackos and bad bills.

What do you think about children being detained by Trump in facilities where they have to fight for clean drinking water?

Where the water is cloudy, smells & upsets stomachs & the soap for showers causes rashes & they have to sleep on concrete floors?

Please watch @katiephang.bsky.social address what just happened in the Senate.

She shares our rage.
She explains the "deal" we got.
The throws in legal aspects.
She justifies our cynicism about R's promise re ACA.

But she also cautions us to stick together.

Please watch.
8 Senate Democrats voted with Senate Republicans last night on a handshake deal to break the government funding impasse.

I've got the facts and details about this agreement, who was a part of the deal, and what's next for Americans.

On Saturday, while fighting tooth-and-nail to keep SNAP benefits from going to hungry families, Trump debuted a seafood buffet at Mar-a-Lago with shrimp towers, lobster tails, and loads of caviar.

Congressional republicans have greenlighted his callousness, corruption, and cruelty at every step.

🧵1/3

Standoff between the fascist regime & minority congressional Dems is about something bigger than health insurance premiums and programs like SNAP.

It's about standing up for freedom, rule of law & human decency.

That's why last night's capitulation by a handful of Senate Dems is a disgrace.
