What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

"After Bill Clinton banned assault weapons in 1994, mass shooting deaths dropped by 43%. After the Republican Congress let the ban expire in 2004, they shot up by 239%.
We don't need to arm teachers; we need to BAN assault weapons again!"

I’m old enough to remember when Secretary Hegseth tried to publicly mock Judge Reyes—suggesting that she didn’t know what she was doing when it comes to protecting our national security.

It was … two days ago.

I mean very obviously Hegseth should resign, and if it were a Democratic administration this would be quickly be a consensus position.

Judge REYES on a tear, telling DOJ she won't be "gaslit" by effort to say their ban on transgender people in the military isn't actually a "ban."

She notes SecDef Hegseth literally called it a ban on X.

"You're saying one thing in public. You're saying a different thing in court," Reyes said.

We expected 2,000 people out in GOP-held Greeley, Colorado.

11,000 people showed up.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

We are entering a dangerous phase of the H5N1 outbreak.

With spring migration underway, the virus will spread faster, threatening wildlife, livestock, and humans.

Migratory birds will carry the D1.1 (D701N) variant worldwide, raising the risk of mammal outbreaks.

The administration is removing phone support for Soc Security recipients. Making it more difficult for seniors to get their checks. It’s a back door way to cut SS benefits. Horrific.

If you know anyone who is impacted, please help them get online to get their benefits approved

Shut down for the first time since 1942
News: Journalists at Voice of America were just informed that they’ve been put on administrative leave. Two people there told me this went to all fulltime employees.

“From what we can tell, VOA is effectively shut down from this moment.”
