Hakeem Jeffries will never lead the Dems where they need to go in order to help the people.
He will choose restoration over reform because he has been groomed by the Establishment.
I wish people could finally accept this.

Trump’s USDA is threatening to ILLEGALLY and IMMORALLY block food aid that Congress funded, using hunger as a political weapon.
While 40 million Americans worry about groceries, he throws a Great Gatsby party at Mar-a-Lago.

SNAP is a lifeline for food-insecure people and families, and it is also an indirect cash transfer to corporations, who get away with paying poverty wages bc they're able to outsource the social safety net to SNAP and other programs.
SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.
Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:
* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled
* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Shame on any journalist who isn’t talking about this.
And by “talking about this” I mean pointing out that there’s something deeply wrong with a President making & sharing a video where he dumps feces on protesters.
They need to be questioning his competence and ability to serve.

It’s so frustrating to watch Pritzker say this why he’s allowing the state police under this command to enforce Trump’s agenda. He may be content to sit on his hands for the next few years, but his constituents increasingly are not, and he’s failing them. Getting out of the way is his best option.
Today, Trump's trying to make us comfortable with masked agents on the streets.
Tomorrow, Trump's looking to leverage this power, take advantage of our elections, and scare voters away.
We must call this what it is: a power grab that echoes the rise of authoritarian regimes.

Pritzker should absolutely say something here, but we’re going to see these scenes play out across the country, and the Democratic Party in general needs to come up with a response that doesn’t throw the people they’re encouraging to take the streets under the bus.

As Pritzker said, they don't need the national guard here - home grown troopers are perfectly happy to beat, brutalize and suppress protesters, clergy, and people of conscience!
Everything that just happened was both brutal and expected given how we've seen ISP behave these last few weeks.
Saw troopers striking people with batons, dragging protesters. They're currently cuffing someone marked as a medic. Approximately nine people we see in state custody now.
