An estimated 93,000 will die a premature death due to the loss of SNAP between now and 2039.
The ‘Make America Healthy Again’ party would rather people sink deeper into poverty and food insecurity than get the essential assistance they need to buy groceries.

Trump: "The reason we're not talking about tariffs with Russia is because we're not doing business essentially with Russia".
US-Russia trade totalled $3.5 billion in 2024.
US-Lesotho trade totalled $240 million in 2024, yet Trump imposed a 50% tariff on the impoverished country.

A billion is stolen time—obscene hoarding of wealth that could end poverty, cure plagues, save the planet isn’t success—it’s violent theft. Money is power, stripped from collective dignity. Billionaires aren’t geniuses—they’re sickness, parasites gorging on stolen time. Abolish this cruelty. Wake up

I'm no lawyer, but it seems like discussing war plans in Signal outside a SCIF is maybe just a little bit worse than using a private server to send emails that weren't even marked as classified. But what do I know.

This is SO much worse than Hillary‘s emails—it’s not even in the same universe. Don’t let them make that bullshit comparison. She wasn’t sharing war plans. She wasn’t in an unsecured text group sharing classified documents and state secrets. She was actually qualified for her job and not a traitor.
