UPDATE: Donald Trump is so hellbent on denying people SNAP that he went all the way to the Supreme Court to block benefits.

Now Trump is trying to bully states into TAKING BACK payments they already made to families.

It’s chaos for the sake of cruelty.
Donald Trump’s war on SNAP.

In America, speaking freely is a bedrock right that matters deeply to us all. So when pundits and politicians vilify dissenters, I have to ask "Why?" This isn't patriotism -- its control. You don’t defend democracy by silencing it. Speak up! #TruthBrigade truthbrigade.indivisible.org/s/xtboh0YR

If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

I voted YES on Prop 50 because we cannot let anyone silence the will of the people.

California is fighting fire with fire and standing up for democracy everywhere. Vote yes on Prop 50 by mail or in person on Election Day, this Tuesday, November 4.

Hit with higher insurance premiums? Trump is making them even higher.

Forced into bankruptcy by medical debt? Trump doesn’t care.

Worried that’ll impact your credit score? Trump wants it to.

House Republicans have been on vacation for five weeks.

MAGA extremists shut the government down.

And have zero interest in opening it back up.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going. #releasethefiles #grijalva #indivisible #epsteinfiles

Mike Johnson is so desperate to shield Republicans from questions about huge healthcare cuts and health insurance costs hikes that he keeps canceling House business so the GOP can hide.
