Trump claims that food stamps "puts the country in jeopardy. People that are able-bodied can do a job, they leave their job because they figure they can pick this up, it's easier."

The new Republican plan same as the old Republican plan: Fucking die already.
Rick Scott told me his plan would be to take all of the remaining ACA subsidies and redistribute them to HSA accounts and people can then buy whatever insurance a state certifies. Basically a repeal/replace.
He denied when I asked wouldn’t that create two-tiered system where sick pay much more…

The President wouldn't last five minutes as an air traffic controller, and after everything they've been through - and the way this administration has treated them from Day One - he has no business shitting on them now.

Since 1968, CEO pay has exploded while worker pay has remained stagnant. If worker pay grew at the same pace as CEO pay, today’s typical worker would make $431.80 per HOUR.
Instead, today’s typical worker makes $36.49 per hour — while CEOs make 280 times that on average.
The system is rigged.

Some nights we sign off with hope and inspiration.
Tonight, we sign off with anger and betrayal.
To the senators who caved... twice... May you have the night you deserve.
And to the rest of you...
Rage, rage against the dying of the light

Why it matters: The watchdogs were looking into a high-ranking company officer who is close to Pulte.
It's never a good sign to fire watchdogs, and this admin has fired a lot of them.

The people arresting these hardworking men have never known real “labor” like these innocents being detained. Just because you were born on one side of a border does not make you right. CBP/ICE are perpetrators of oppression, abuse, and crimes against humanity.

Random thought: What if Joe Biden had kept his word and not pardoned Hunter ... how would we be feeling about that now as we watch Trump pardon every Republican criminal he can find while he'd almost certainly be prosecuting Hunter?
Lots of folks were very critical of that decision.
