The monthly SNAP benefit is around $177 a month
The average ACA benefit can be up to $550 a month
These are small numbers compared to the billion dollar tax cuts given to corporations
The $40 billion to Argentina or $45 billion for ICE
They’re life saving programs & Dems must hold the line

I was there the night Leo was elected. I’ve spent the last six months watching him find his voice — and it’s shaking the foundations of power.
