More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.

The mainstream media loves making it seam like dysfunction in Washington is coming from both parties.
Hello?
Much of the GOP no longer accepts the rule of law, or the norms of democracy, or the legitimacy of the opposing party.
Enough of the false equivalence.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.

Stock up on masks, hand sanitizer and practice social distancing. It won't solve everything, but it certainly can't hurt and will help protect those who are vulnerable. Resistance comes in so many forms...why not frame it as love, too? 💗

Our nation's federal employees are more than just numbers on a spreadsheet.
They make sure we have clean water.
They protect us from financial fraud.
They provide healthcare to our communities.
They make our government actually work for people.
