If you think the people throwing Great Gatsby-esque parties for themselves, while millions were denied their food assistance, are all of a sudden going to grow a conscience and save affordable healthcare, you clearly have not been paying attention.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Everyone and everything that enters his orbit ultimately exits diminished, damaged or destroyed. It remains to be seen just how far he can swing that wrecking ball made up of greed and ego and whether we can take it on the chin for another three years. #EastWing

It’s not just the facade: Team Trump has wrecked much of the White House’s East Wing
By Tuesday afternoon, it appeared obvious that a significant portion of the East Wing has been demolished, the president's earlier vows notwithstanding.

If you love your country, believe in the Constitution, and care about your neighbors, there’s a place for you at a No Kings peaceful protest this Saturday. We’re on the brink of dictatorship, and the less we fight back, the more emboldened they become. Hope to see you there. www.nokings.org

It meant so much to stand up with family and friends yesterday at the Charlottesville #NoKings protest. It was hot, it was humid, but there was camaraderie and a real sense of purpose that carried us through (along with lots of water!).

“Peanuts” is what Trump callously calls the multi-million-dollar cost of a military parade on his birthday. Guess what else is full of peanuts? A lifesaving food paste that’s no longer reliably making its way to malnourished children because of Trump funding cuts. #USAID

O Canada, or more specifically your Conservative Party, we could have told you everyone in Trump's orbit will suffer. We can show you jailed, disgraced supporters; bankrupt businesses; and, the pièce de résistance, a government that's failing us. Bonne chance, Canada. www.bbc.com/news/article...

You can’t say criminals don’t deserve due process when due process is the thing that decides if they're criminals. Otherwise you're just kidnapping people you don't like.

On Friday, I shopped at Costco (IYKYK), on Saturday I donated to the ACLU to help protect free speech, and today I'm asking Senators not to confirm those three wildly dangerous nominees. The #resistance is real.
