The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

I have a reading habit and wonder if I’m alone in this. It’s all about 100 pages. Twice. First, when I consume the first 100 pages of this book do I want to continue? Then, when I pass the < 100 pages left mark, I really dedicate myself to finishing. The end is so close! So, there you go. My habit!

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:
1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long
All lies.

The current White House administration has cut billions in research and fired thousands of researchers. Let’s follow the money—not the hype—and demand a government that puts people first. #TruthBrigade

Let's be very clear: The Trump administration is not "defending" mifepristone against a legal challenge. They're pulling a calculated move that will allow them to restrict or ban abortion medication without pushback

Trump will defend Biden’s abortion pill rules in Texas case
The filing over the regulation of mifepristone indicates an emerging pattern: An effort to preserve executive power.

Autism is a multifactorial genetic-based neurological condition.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

Stripping collective bargaining and union rights from workers across the federal government is the very definition of union busting — and a blatant attempt to silence us.
We will fight this outrageous attack on our members with every fiber of our collective being.
