it's jarring to think about how much federal funding used to go to stuff like cancer research, food safety, public health, science grants, and USAID and now it's private planes for ICE, $40 billion to Argentina and a ballroom where the East Wing of the White House used to be

Stop using Amazon. It’s not that hard. Shop locally or buy directly from the manufacturer or another seller. Or stop buying shit.
Approximately 1/3 of those with jobs at Amazon are receiving SNAP benefits-and half suffer from food insecurity
Now billionaire Jeff Bezos is laying off 30,000 of them
How much longer will America continue to subsidize Bezos-and let him accumulate even greater wealth by sucking dry US workers

Why isn’t Jeffries holding a shadow Congress? Why isn’t he swearing Grivalja in? We need more stunts
He has dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the rights of the people.
It's official: Speaker Johnson just cancelled all votes in the House next week.
The next scheduled voting day is 10/27; the last time the House was in session was 9/19.
