The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

2 days ago Trump quoted Napoleon and claimed to be above the law.
Yesterday Trump declared that only he and his attorney general have the authority to say what the law is.
Today Trump called himself a king.
He’s not joking. He’s normalizing that he’s a dictator, while his obedient peasants cheer.

I see more criticism here of Democrats in Congress than I do condemnation of Republicans.
And yet it is the GOP who are enabling Trump.
It tells me a lot when I see you regularly bash our side but say nothing, ever, about the other.
Reflect on your choices. You may be helping the fascists.

Ever wonder why German Nazis had no empathy for their Jewish victims? Because they were told Jews are criminals.
It's literally the same fascist propaganda lie Orange Hitler uses to demonize and dehumanize immigrants, and the same reason why MAGA Nazis see nothing wrong with torturing immigrants.

They’re coming for marriage next. Idaho Republicans just asked the Supreme Court to overturn Obergefell v. Hodges—the case that made same-sex marriage legal nationwide. LGBTQ+ people warned this was coming. They won’t stop here.
