Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Yesterday, I pleaded not guilty to the charges that Trump’s DOJ has hit me with in federal court.
This administration is targeting me because they can see that I’ve spoken out against them and will continue to stand up to them.

A number of Trump’s actions in his second term potentially violate the Emoluments Clauses — which bar the president and other federal officials from receiving benefits from foreign governments, as well as federal or state governments. Join us for a Reddit AMA:

The Epstein emails are a “skeleton key” for understanding a culture “in which the wealthy and powerful appear not as master operators but as bumbling sycophants, eager to cozy up to influence no matter how villainous or depraved,” @cwarzel.bsky.social argues.

This a big deal: "China’s carbon dioxide emissions have been flat or falling for 18 months"
China's economy has grown by ~5% in the last year, so this comprehensively debunks the idea (again) that emissions are tied to growth. So yes, faster progress needed, but this is how you turn the corner.

Gerrymandering means voters don’t choose their politicians—politicians choose their voters.
In North Carolina, even when Democrats win more votes, Republicans take more seats. That’s not democracy.

This is what oligarchy looks like:
Trump gave corporate America a $920 billion tax break.
Now, corporations like Amazon, Meta, Apple, Google & Lockheed Martin are returning the favor by giving Trump $300 million for a fancy ballroom.
That’s a pretty good return on investment.

They are doubling premiums for 20 million.
Now, they are illegally withholding emergency SNAP funding that keeps millions of children from going hungry.
All so they can give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.

It is outrageous that Trump refuses to release the $5 billion to fund SNAP and feed our children.
The good news is that 11 Republicans are joining all Democrats to demand that we feed American children.
Let’s bring that bill to a vote on the floor immediately.
