The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

This is quite a statement from Matthew Dowd — the former chief strategist for the Bush–Cheney 2004 presidential campaign.
Such an important point:
“Progressive policies…are very popular in this country…but you have a segment of the Democratic Party that keeps trying to convince progressives we’re losing elections because their policies need to be more moderate.” Matt Dowd
I wish more understood this.
A confession…

this is insane
I have been the subject of many spurious accusations and politically motivated attacks, but this one is in a class by itself. According to Tulsi Gabbard — the nation’s top intelligence official — my refusal to post on Twitter is being reviewed by the Department of Justice as evidence of wrongdoing.
I’m Not panicking. I’m Outraged.

As the "representative from Microsoft" @repdelbene.bsky.social, I think you need to demonstrate more sophistication about the downsides of the crypto industry.
The House voted 308 to 122 for the GENIUS Act, the corrupt crypto industry bill to set the stage for the next financial crisis, encourage money laundering, and bless Trump's corruption.
102 Democrats voted yes, including 4 out of the 5 memberships of House Dems's Leadership Team.

One day. That’s the slap in the face the DOJ is calling “accountability” in Breonna Taylor’s case.
Now they want to act like civil rights charges were too much? Please be for real.

They mean to be as insulting to Black people, as dismissive of our lives, as resistance to our status as full citizens in this country as they can be.

The more you know about the history of the NYPD, the more things like this blur the past and the present. Is it 1895 or is it 2025? The more you read about it, the more you realize the history of policing is more a history of continuity and less a history of change.
WHOA. One of Eric Adams' former police commissioners just filed a lawsuit accusing him of running the NYPD like a "racketeering enterprise."
