The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP
You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670
Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem
If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?
You’re doing their dirty work.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.
Why the delay from Mike Johnson?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Shockingly out-of-it: the person in charge of the Medicare system was unaware last week that the Justice Department is investigating UnitedHealthcare—the biggest seller of Medicare Advantage plans—for criminal Medicare fraud. A major story that broke in May.

Asian stocks waver, dollar frail as Trump's tariffs, US rate path weighs
