AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

Folks: The pardons are almost certainly focused on GA (they include a number of people implicated ONLY in GA), where the state will soon decide whether to appoint someone to take over the case.
They should be meaningless, but Cleta Mitchell (a key ringleader in GA and still) wanted them anyway.

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.

Let’s not forget Donald Trump’s “Justice” department is giving special favors to a convicted sex trafficker who participated in the sexual abuse of children. The lack of outcry by Republicans after Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to a low-security prison tells us they stand by Trump’s moral depravity.
