WATCH: Sen. Mallory McMorrow calls out DC Republicans for choosing to weaponize food for families that need it in order to score political points. It's time to put an end to the chaos and deliver the basic needs Michiganders and families across the country need to survive.

Pure 🔥🔥🔥from Sen. Rosen: "This is a Republican shutdown...You are in control of the White House, the House, and the Senate. If you went home to a food bank instead of going to Mar-A-Lago...while people are starving, you might see and hear your constituents. You are blind to the suffering."

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact:
TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

This is horrible to post, but I may as well post it. We are essentially shutting down research operations in my group, which is focused on treatments for pediatric brain cancer. I’m a well funded investigator, and there’s no choice. Science can’t function without the stability of NIH

“There is an unspoken belief in reincarnation among the women in my family. We all come back as flowers in the end,” Jessi Jezewska Stevens writes. “I don’t look forward to becoming a flower, however many years from now.”
Flowers Are the Ultimate Symbols
For Georgia O’Keeffe, they became a kind of prison, but she and other artists saw in them something that lies at the limits of human comprehension.

the main point here is that it’s an international alliance of oligarchs whose main concerns are self-enrichment and territorial conquest. that’s it. trump doesn’t have to be a “kremlin plant” or “putin puppet.” he and putin have the same goals: accumulate power and wealth. it’s class solidarity!

Having out of town guests over. We were going to make them a meal, as has been the custom in virtually every culture in human history, but I think instead we'll berate them, criticize their clothing choices, and demand they thank us for everything.

(It’s true that there is spending that is fraudulent and wasteful. It’s also true that key government agencies have actually been underfunded since sequestration and before, and even if you find every penny of “waste, fraud and abuse” it won’t cover the shortfall.)

FWIW, it's perhaps worth noting that when Benjamin Franklin visited France between 1776 and 1778 to ask for military support for the then-new-formed United States of America, he wore a coonskin cap. "Proper" French court attire at this time was a powdered wig.

Oh, without question. And there are many people who DO carry responsibility. But in the end, if the American people had mustered the care for their neighbors and others throughout the world that should come naturally, none of this would ever have been possible at all.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding”
Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure.
We are all in this together, and we all go down together.
I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

FWIW, the choice was scrubbing their website or potentially closing down because their funding was turned off. Sure they could have sued, but what then?
