I really hate to play the “age card,” folks, but if Biden’s famous aging struggles were once a national catastrophe, why aren't Trump's?

Great to hear @JamesCTobias on @npratc talking about the big series by @highcountrynews and @propublica on grazing on federal lands and massive government subsidies for wealthy ranchers
Federal grazing permits and subsidies benefit the wealthiest ranchers
Government grazing permits are much cheaper than market price, and a new investigation by High Country News and ProPublica finds most of the cost savings benefit billionaire ranchers and corporations.

Trump is the oldest person to be elected president. It wouldn’t be unusual for a 79-year-old to require a second checkup; what's odd is the amount of time it took.

I will also add:

I can do this for evictions in Illinois too, if SNAP benefits being cut off or the government shutdown means you can't make rent.
If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

So here's where we are, Sunday morning:

Trump is trying to starve hungry kids in order to bully Democrats into abandoning our fight against health care premium increases.

So Trump is starving kids in order to deny families health care.
