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.

Sen. Kennedy and Sen. Barrasso have violated their hipocratic oath “to do no harm” by giving RFK cover and refusing to call for his resignation.
The harm they are allowing to the public health of this nation is grave and they are culpable.

I was proud to join neighbors and speak against the devastating cuts to RIPTA service tonight at the Barrington Library.
Public transit is critical to our state’s and neighbors’ well-being. It lends mobility for all.
“This is a service that expands people’s worlds.” “Buses are freedom.”

Absolutely disgusting. Of course we can stop gun violence, just takes the will and common sense legislation.
Shame on the @nytimes.com !
Holy shit, they did it. They wrote the headline.

When a network lays off one of America’s greatest satirists, it’s not because he failed. It’s because he succeeded too loudly.
