For Trump and his cronies, the cruelty is the point. While the Trump administration refuses to fund SNAP, our state leaders are failing to step up and fill the gap. Kemp— fund food assistance now.

Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.

We left the WHO. We cut funding on aid programs, many of which help prevent the spread of disease. We stopped funding for NIH. We ordered CDC not to speak w/WHO. We're considering an anti-vaxxer for HHS Sec. All this from a president who mismanaged the last pandemic. Seems kinda dangerous to me.

Not at all concerning that an administration that has vowed to use its surveillance powers on domestic political opponents has dismantled the one board that had quasi-power to police abuses of intelligence powers.
News: The three Democratic members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board—a government panel that reviews national-security surveillance programs for privacy implications—were fired today after refusing to resign as instructed last week by the White House.
