I was just thinking about contributing to the "charity" Feeding America. Until I discovered that the salary for its CEO, Claire Babineaux-Fontenot, was approximately $949,866 in 2024, with her total compensation being $1,113,502. Apparently, feeding America isn't her top priority.

“Women should be having more children.” But also, “F them kids.” The whiplash is intense. So is the disrespect.
Democrats tried to pass a standalone bill today to just make sure kids could eat during this shutdown by funding SNAP and WIC
The bill had to pass unanimously. If one person voted no, it wouldn’t pass.
John Thune said no. A Republican.
ONE MAN blocked WIC & SNAP funding for over 40 million people

Harriet Tubman was real. Anne Frank was real. Harvey Milk was real. Each of these people contributed to the global zeitgeist.
The Orange administration, by contrast, has contributed nothing but a large market upswing in the purchase of Advil.

The Christian nationalist Republican Party attacks women's freedom to force us to give birth.
But pregnancy & giving birth require expensive health care.
So why are Republicans cutting Medicaid coverage for ⚠️41%⚠️ of births?
Call Congress at (202) 224-3121 and tell them: #HandsOffOurMedicaid
