The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

How is it possible that we live in a country in which the Secretary of Defense promotes the idea that women should not be allowed to vote? How can he be allowed to make personnel decisions regarding female leaders in our armed forces?

I'll say it over and over again; you can't build the mass deportation machine without first building the police state machine.
"Mass deportation" is the excuse and trigger for authoritarianism. As it was always intended to be.

In case y'all missed it - Utah Republicans ordered a study on transgender healthcare, expecting it to come back unsupportive.
Instead, it found that trans youth care was safe and effective, and that transgender youth need it.
Whoops.

The only reason we ever became concerned with a “trade deficit” was in the 80s when Japanese car companies were eating American companies lunch.
That’s it.
It’s not meant to be an economic strategy.
I have a trade deficit with Applebees but we’re fine
