I watched some excerpts from Trumps “affordability” rally. What a travesty… essentially his message is Americans should buy less for their children so he and his Billionaire friends can have more! #clownshow

Brown: Autocrats don’t fear the disease or the babies dying from whooping cough — they fear the evidence of it, because evidence exposes their failures, demands accountability, and empowers the public.

National Security Strategy talks a lot about the strength of US “Soft Power” as if it is an infinite resource. Problem is “soft power” is much like respect, hard to gain and really easy to lose! We are diminishing our soft power daily with these antics! #clownshow #NSS #NATO

“Confident of military success, Putin refuses compromise in Moscow talks”. I remember when Trump told us piece on day 1!

My health insurance premiums will more than double in January. I pay a little less than $500/month for my current silver plan.

I just reapplied and my new premium will be $1062/month.

And don’t forget: I still have a co-pay for every visit and pay for prescriptions.

Is it possible that the Trump hold over his cult is starting to crack? I’ve been disappointed so many times!

We cannot afford to provide affordable healthcare to our most needy but can afford to give corporations tax cuts that allow this level of compensation! For what, so that he can buy another mansion, private island, or super yacht? #clownshow #dems #gildedage

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.

Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.

This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

Incredibly disappointed in the 8 Democrats who crossed the line and voted for the CR. No concessions, no acknowledgement of the pain this will cause, and a total lack of respect for the loyal democratic base. This reeks of political calculation. #SenTimKaine #clownshow #democrats #SENSchumer

Have we left Democracy behind and entered a Plutocracy? Plutocracy - where the wealthy have significant influence over laws, policies, and the overall direction of the nation due to their financial power.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

It’s been over 4 weeks since federal employees have been paid. Critical skills like air traffic controllers and social security payment specialists have been working every day for a month without pay! Wonder what would happen if everyone said no more, organized, and decided not to show up tomorrow?

EVERY DAMNED WORD!! 👇🏽
The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
