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.

likely preaching to the choir here, but this is by design. Cause chaos, when citizens on both sides protest call it an emergency, then declare martial law.

Another purge: Trump just fired nearly the entire civil rights branch of DHS, an office responsible for conducting oversight of Trump's immigration crackdown. Those who believed Schumer's rationale are being proven wrong daily! 😡

Over 100,000 seats are up for grabs in 2025 — governors, mayors, city councils, state representatives, judges, school boards, and more.

Taking back our power starts now.

I’ll be on CNN at 6 with @jaketapper.bsky.social to discuss Senate Democrats’ responsibility to protect the federal government and vote NO on cloture and the GOP spending bill

I'm a hard NO on the Republican spending bill. On cloture. On all of it.

When a wannabe dictator is trying to seize power, it must not be given to him.

Not without a fight.

That's it. Remove @schumer.senate.gov as minority leader. Enough Quislings.

He is so weak. Whatever the approach was going to be, Schumer has totally bungled this chance. He must step down as our Senate leader. What an embarrassment! ☎️☎️ call his office ☎️☎️ www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/u...
Schumer Says He’ll Vote to Advance Spending Bill, Breaking With His Party
Many Democrats are agitating for their party’s senators to block the measure in defiance of President Trump, but the leader said doing so would prompt a shutdown that would only empower Mr. Trump.

This.
The media is now obsessed with remorseful Trump voters, white voters, who are now losing their jobs or upset about inflation. I don’t want to hear from them. I want to hear from the Black voters who stood in line for hours, only to be turned away because their name was purged from the rolls.

Honestly, last night’s bullshit is going to be a last straw for a lot of people when it comes to the Democratic Party.

Matching outfits and grimaces are not a real response to fascism.

We need an entire party of Al Greens.

I think people who are concerned about the social and political "consequences" of Michelle Obama skipping the inauguration don't know enough working class families and where this ranks on their list of concerns.
