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.

Trump: How would you like to be the husband of the wife that was playing around with a 14-year-old kid? Unbelievable. By the way, did you see what she looked like?

…I know a lot of guys who are trying to date her right now, Don.

…He might have put the move on her.

More than 16 million Americans are at risk of losing their health care because Republicans in Congress are rushing to pass a bill that would cut federal funding for Medicaid and weaken the Affordable Care Act.

Republicans are still trying to pass their Big Betrayal Bill.

They held the previous vote open for hours—and STILL don’t have their shit together.

Maybe the problem isn’t the vote count. Maybe it’s the bill.

You can hold the vote open all night…trash is still trash.

I hate when I go to bed early on a Saturday night and wake up Sunday morning only to discover we’ve gone to war in the Middle East without the consent of Congress. 😡

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

Everyone should say it:

The thing about Stephen Miller is not that he is the brains behind Trumpism.

Yes, he is one of the people who conceptualizes the impulses of the Trumpist movement and translates them into policy.

But that's not what's interesting about Miller.

It's not brains. It's bile.

People in ICE detention are being denied health care and adequate nutrition, often given spoiled food or nothing at all.

Our government’s cruelty to immigrants is a moral failing — not a policy solution.
In recorded calls, reports of overcrowding and lack of food at ICE detention centers
ICE detentions have surged, but deportations have not. In the past month, NPR spoke to dozens of detainees, families and lawyers who spoke of overcrowded centers in Florida lacking food and medicine.

President Trump's deployment of federalized National Guard troops is unnecessary, inflammatory, and an abuse of power.

The Trump administration is putting people in LA in danger and undermines the democratic principle that the military should not police civilians.

The federal government is taking over the California National Guard and deploying 2,000 soldiers in Los Angeles — not because there is a shortage of law enforcement, but because they want a spectacle.

Don't give them one.

Never use violence. Speak out peacefully.
