Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

81 years ago, FDR proposed a second Bill of Rights to guarantee every American the right to employment, healthcare, education, housing, and a living income. His words are as relevant now as they were then. Watch.

WATCH — @repstevenhorsford.bsky.social : “My amendment would redirect that $40 BILLION from Argentina to fund the ACA subsidies for two years… a far better use of taxpayer dollars.”
Why do we have money for Argentina while our own people lose their health care? How does this make us great?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Stalin was a big fan of starvation and famine. Actually most of the despots in history have used the model.
The theory is that people that are hungry are far easier to control.
I don't think it works if the people are PISSED AND PUSH THE FUCK BACK!

Those who rely on SNAP to buy groceries for themselves and their families make up about 12% of all grocery sales nationwide, according to the National Grocers Association.
Experts say the sudden loss of that income will mean SNAP recipients have less money to spend in Texas grocery stores.

Cutoff of SNAP benefits could damage entire Texas economy
The ongoing government shutdown means more than $600 million per month won’t go to millions of Texas SNAP beneficiaries who pump that money into the state economy.

Mike Johnson won’t bring the House back to DC because it would expose how deeply divided Republicans are. MTG is just the tip of the iceberg.
