Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Forcing people to have a job in order to get health insurance is just another form of indentured servitude.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene.
While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%.
End this oligarchy.

If you need a mask to enforce the law, you don’t deserve a badge.
Federal agents are snatching people off the streets—faces covered, names hidden.
This isn’t safety. It’s secrecy.
It’s not America.

They are treating people worse than mere numbers, not even bothering to track them once they’re in the system. Unacceptable.

This is not about the merits of Iran’s nuclear program. No president has the authority to bomb another country that does not pose an imminent threat to the US without the approval of Congress. This is an unambiguous impeachable offense.

The billionaires will paint every single progressive as being either:
1. Anti-semitic
2. Sexist
3. Racist
From now until forever because it works even though it’s incredibly false.
They even do it to AOC.
Billionaires will say and do whatever it takes to avoid paying higher taxes.

We’ve bombed Iran. And dismantled our joint terrorism task force. And sent a third of the FBI to help ICE. And gutted the National Security Council. And a drunk guy is in charge at the pentagon. And our intelligence allies probably won’t share intel with us. Because people couldn’t vote for a woman.

The right wing claims that:

2. The Minnesota assassin is a member of the left
On both LIES we must push back HARD. Because the TRUTH IS:
1. Both Trump assassins were Trump voters
2. The Minnesota assassin is a right wing extremist
