An excellent article in the NYTimes that belies the Trump administration rationale behind military build-up and bombing of ‘drug smugglers’ in waters off of Venezuela, citing expertise from The Steady State’s own Annie Pforzheimer and Jonathan Winer.

This week on The Qasim Rashid Show: SNAP is not welfare for hungry people. It's corporate welfare for companies exploiting low-income people. Healthcare is a human right and corporations should offer living wages.

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.

Trump's tariffs are hurting us in two ways:
First, the obvious: Higher costs → either lower profits or higher prices.
Second, more subtle (perhaps bigger): We’ve signaled we’re an unreliable partner, so allies are reorganizing supply chains to avoid us. That's hard to unwind.

It has to be election interference to say you will deny funds to a city (as potus) if they vote for a certain candidate.
It's illegal, it's unethical, it’s domestic terroism.
He should be arrested as should the elected & appointed scaffolding that is fundamentally anti-constitution.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
