The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Ciattarelli has spent years trying to slash police pay & benefits. He’s on record saying cops & firemen should earn less because he knows “people in even more dangerous jobs who are paid less.”

That’s is who he is folks.

Get out to early vote for @mikiesherrill.bsky.social TODAY!

If he were right, the import price index (which measures pre-tariff prices) would have fallen by enough to offset the sharp tariff hike. It didn't.

So they didn’t like the ad. Let’s just post Reagan’s 5 min speech against tariffs as it appears on YouTube.

Over and over. On all platforms (some of y’all are still on X).

Ciattarelli brags about being a small business owner. The truth: he took big $ from opioid makers to spread lies about opioids. He helped create an app to help patients game the system for more prescriptions.

Now he wants us to put our trust in RFK Jr to protect our health & safety!

Our federal tax dollars are being used to fund a network of government social media accounts that pump out disinformation 24/7. Even during a government shutdown. It’s definitely not essential work.

That is different from what the admin said. They claimed it was coming out of DOD R&D funds. Tariff money cannot be touched by the Trump Regime without congressional approval.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

Just wanted to share this graphic from KFF, the green sliver in this pie chart indicates the amount of Medicaid Spending for Emergency Medicaid in 2023. It's (0.4%) of the total Medicaid budget. Undocumented immigrants sometimes receive Emergency Medicaid.

Here’s the fundamental problem with Christian Nationalism. They can’t just do the right thing. They exploit aid by making it conditional on acceptance of their dogma. We’ll feed you but you must let us proselytize. Everything they do is about control. #AuntFester learned from her pill-hawking daddy.
