Why do people buy pizza with EBT?
Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.
It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Adelita Grijalva won her election fair and square.
Now House Speaker Mike Johnson is refusing to swear her in because she would be the final signature to release the Epstein files.
Mr. Speaker, respect democracy. Obey the law. Swear Representative Grijalva in immediately.

Three Republican-appointed judges just made it harder to cancel subscriptions you don’t want.
It's absurd that you can't just click to cancel.
Lina Khan fought for that change.
But now companies can trap you in subscriptions and squeeze you for every penny.

Trump visited the so-called “Alligator Alcatraz” detention center in the Everglades. During that visit, he suggested something quite radical: the deportation of U.S. citizens, including those born in the United States, to facilities abroad.

If a sitting president can openly muse about arresting and disappearing someone who is likely to become mayor of the country's largest city, while also getting the funding for a massive secret police, it'd be hard to find sufficient evidence to qualify that country as a democracy.

Many seniors can’t afford dental care, hearing aids or glasses.
I’m proud that all Democrats supported my amendment last night to expand Medicare to cover dental, hearing and vision paid for by cutting prescription drug costs for Medicare in half.
No Republicans voted for it.

Our trade policies should benefit American workers, not just corporate CEOs.
That includes targeted tariffs to stop corporations from outsourcing American jobs & factories.
We do not need a blanket, arbitrary sales tax that will raise prices on products that Americans need.

Elon Musk is not a Federal employee or a political appointee. DOGE is not a real department. None of their activities are legal. This is a coup. The Republicans in Congress are willing participants in it. At what point do Democrats in DC get that and start acting like it? It’s not the price of eggs!
