If nothing else, the last nine months should have made it clear that elections matter. But what’s remarkable about America is that we have the power, as citizens, to change this country by voting. Go to IWillVote.com.

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

@timmiller.bsky.social doesn't want 12-year-olds running the country and neither should you.

The Ronald Reagan video denouncing tariffs, which Donald is in such a snit about, was posted to YouTube eight years ago. It is authentic. Donald is lying. It is not AI.
We are living in such twisted times, when Ronald Reagan's own words are offensive to Republicans.

Sen. Paul is right. These are murders.
Rand Paul on Trump's strikes on boats: "I would call them extrajudicial killings. This is akin to what China does, what Iran does with drug dealers -- they summarily execute people without presenting evidence to the public. So it's wrong."

He orders extrajudicial killings. He sent troops into our cities. He terrorizes citizens with ICE raids. He raised taxes without congressional approval. He has ruined American farmers and ranchers. He plans to starve the vulnerable. He demolished our house.
Remove him from office.

One of Trump's billionaire buddies just bought Paramount. Now, he wants to buy Warner Bros.
That means one giant company could control almost everything you watch on TV.

Remember: Undocumented immigrants pay billions of dollars in taxes every year.
They pay into government funded healthcare programs, but can't access them except in case of emergency.
Emergency Medicaid spending accounted for less than 1% of total Medicaid spending in 2023.
