16 million children, nearly half of SNAP recipients, are about to go hungry next week DESPITE funds being available (already appropriated by congress).
I applaud NC’s and other state’s attorneys general for taking the USDA to court over this.

Don’t stop rubbing their noses in the teachings of Christ.
Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.
Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

It's important to understand the irreparable harm argument against deploying the national guard in California. Trump is taking essential personnel away from fighting fires and drug trafficking to guard federal buildings against no one. Immigrants aren't the danger. Trump is.

This has always been the GOP's strategy:
1) Cut taxes for the wealthy & corporations by claiming they'll pay for themselves.
2) Explode the deficit.
3) Demand cuts to vital programs that help millions.
4) Repeat.
They're trying to get away with it again.
