That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

When a glacial lake burst in Nepal, the flood destroyed a village, it barely made the news. But this wasn’t just a remote disaster—it was a warning. Climate instability is here. And so is the political machinery keeping us from seeing it. #climate change #water crisis #climate denial #uneven risk

🆕🚨 New statutory Relationships and Sex Education guidance published today will:
- Restrict schools from using materials that "encourage pupils to question their gender"
- Teaches children the laws about "biological sex"

The SAVE Act is a poll tax.
Over 69 million women would have to get new IDs to vote under the SAVE Act—all of which, except military IDs, cost money.
As @mcclellan.house.gov explained, whether it’s $1,000 or 1￠, no one should have to pay to vote.
