Several states (including California, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin) have announced that they’ve begun processing full food stamp payments. Thank you to those states for stepping up to support families in need!

This segment is so so good. Truly no one out there uses his platform like John Oliver
Was thrilled to help consult for this fantastic John Oliver segment on the tragic plight of U.S. public media and why, if we hope to be a democracy, we still need public media for so many things that commercial media will never provide. Deserves a wide viewership. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yknM...

This is the truth many folks don’t want to confront about commentary. Glad to hear it spoken by another commentator.
If you think there aren't "left-leaning" creators who are only here to cash in and do a BIG ol' capitalism and hope to be Ezra Klein take 2, you're sorely mistaken. Nothing wrong w/ wanting to earn a living, but a lot of neoliberal creators who want to protect the system writing their fat paycheck.

I’m sure everyone hurt by Trump’s policies would like a government bailout, but apparently those only go to farmers who can’t sell their products to other countries.
