If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation.
Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

The 1% evade $163B in taxes per year.
Tesla paid $0 in federal income taxes from 2018 - 2022 & 2024.
Billionaires can write off the cost of their private jets and yachts.
While undocumented immigrants paid $96B in taxes in 2022.
The more you look into it, the crazier it gets.

Why isn’t the media harping on the fact that Trump won with the smallest margin in a quarter century and got less than half the vote? This should be a 24/7 news story. Are they afraid of Donald, or complicit?
