It is. They are. More of you are in poverty than you realize.
Here's a great test:
If you can't go without a paycheck, a healthcare bill will bankrupt you, or you can't afford to buy your own home, you're living in poverty.

I was shocked and offended to learn how the poverty line is set. Did you know this? youtube.com/shorts/wlsnQ...

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

This is an old formula used by authoritarian regimes. Stoke chaos and blame scapegoats to justify the use of force.

That certainly takes balls to cut 17 million people off health care and then announce you're spending $200 million to build a new ballroom. Let them eat cake.

It's nearly 5am and Republicans just rammed through their pro-billionaire, anti-middle class budget blueprint.
In order to pass massive tax giveaways for billionaires, they're going to defund Medicaid, slash veterans benefits, & force kids to go hungry.
Make sure everyone knows it.

That’s nothing. I found 13 contracts awarded to SpaceX since December totaling $77M. 1/
Just got a tip from a guy at the FAA. You'll never believe who is still getting new government contracts while all the contracts at the Department of Education and USAID and other agencies are being nuked from orbit.

The United States Military Academy has just eliminated all Cadet clubs and activities for POC. Most of these have existed for decades like the Society of Black Engineers. They were there when I was a Cadet in 1987. All of the religious ones remain. This isn’t DEI. It’s white Christian Nationalism.

1/ OK, Democratic members of Congress in the US Senate. It’s time for some tough love.
I am aware your pollsters and consultants tell you things like “the American people want us to work together” and “ focus on prescription drug prices in the economy.”
