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.
