The U.S. takes 90 hours of minimum wage work to escape poverty.
Japan: 11.
France: 26.
Germany: 37.
We are the only developed nation where working three jobs still leaves you poor and where we are refused basic healthcare and food security.
This isn’t an economy, it’s engineered exhaustion.👇

Sanders: Let’s be clear… If this vote succeeds, over 20 million Americans are going to see at least a doubling in their premiums… if resolution is passed tonight, we are on a path way to throw 15 million Americans off of medicaid and the affordable care act, 15 million.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work.
He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation.
They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

Love this… in my family, every day was a good to go to the library!
Today is National Family Literacy Day. This year it seems more important than ever to get kids to read and to be curious so we have a future generation of intelligent and intellectually curious adults more likely to have empathy for those different from ourselves!

The law requires Trump to continue to fund SNAP.
Instead, he's trying to steal food from the mouths of hungry children.

As SNAP programs are cut nationwide, it amazes me how many people are saying, "Good. They'll have to get off their asses and work if they want to eat," completely ignoring the 11,000,000 disabled people on those programs who would absolutely love to be out working, but can't. Where is your empathy?

Here’s what’s at stake in the shutdown:
If Republicans get their way, 50,000 Americans will die unnecessarily every year.
15 million will lose their health care.
20 million will see their premiums double.
All so they can give a trillion dollar tax break to the 1%.
