What was the damn point of the shutdown? People missed paychecks, families went without SNAP, and Democrats walked away with nothing.

This isn’t about moderates versus the far left. It’s about who’s actually fighting for people who are struggling.

She nails where so many of us are right now.

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.

Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

Reverse Robin Hood.

I’ve only posted one GFM, and it’s my intention never to post another. But this one is close to my heart. I know the family personally and have visited with them countless times. If you can help out, it would be great. If not, I completely understand - but a retweet is free.

Today, I’m remembering the courage of John McCain when he voted to protect the ACA and keep millions of Americans from losing insurance.

Protecting and strengthening healthcare for the American people should be something both parties can agree on, and I won’t stop fighting for it.

My local rural school district is set to lose over $700,000 a year under the new school funding formula, while the Governor is funding private religious schools with taxpayer vouchers.

I think anybody that thinks this is "fine" should have to endure these conditions themselves. This.is.pure.evil.
Not many people are talking about the children being harmed by #ICELawlessness but it's important to talk about.

What's happening to these kids is being paid for by our tax dollars.

We're paying for the torture of children.

I know this is beyond grim, but we must let people know about this!

My family has been without half our income for 40 days. It has been.. very hard.

We are willing to feel that pain so people can have health care next year, or to undo these illegal recissions.

We are not willing to have been put through this for NOTHING.

We can’t forfeit at halftime anymore. We have to play beaten and bruised. We can lean on each other, even if it’s a tiny team.

The point is: we can field a team.

We can show up and play.

We can win when we compete.

Run. The. Ball.

When prices rise because *demand* is hot, wages usually follow. When prices rise because tariffs raise costs -- a *supply* shock -- there’s no reason paychecks catch up. That’s why tariff inflation hurts a whole heckuva lot more. It's a permanent reduction in living standards.
