The ‘Welfare Queen’ Is Back, but She Never Quite Left - The American Prospect
The stereotype of the welfare queen, typically a single Black mother, was employed to rationalize the pause in SNAP benefits, and it proved effective.

The DOJ order saying you're immune from prosecution is raising a lot of questions that are answered by the order.
More Military personnel are calling legal military non-profit agencies seeking advice for orders they received.
The DOJ has issues a order that all orders are legal & the personnel are immune from prosecution. Right there is the red flag, the prosecution immunity.

The only reason I know what the word 'ephebophile' means is because of right-wing media excusing the worst human behavior in service of one of the worst people on the planet.

The dog (R) finally caught the bus (Health care), NOW LET THEM CHOKE ON IT! I am for letting the gov reopen and have the Rs not take care of ACA CREDITS. This will hurt everyone, but forget the 30% red hats, It's the middle/centrist Independents that need to feel pain to move the needle. #Pain, #GOV

I want to take a moment to thank Drew for taking an interest in my work and putting together such an excellent profile.
Most of what I do focuses on highlighting prominent figures and their statements, so being the subject of a profile is a new experience—and a meaningful one.

AOC: How can we, as members of congress, Republican or Democrat, vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people? That is what this legislation does. In fact, Senator Graham said he was going to seek well over $1 million from the American people, from this.
