Enough. We HAVE TO HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE. This is madness.
Retired couple (teacher & union carpenter) on ACA premiums skyrocketing — from $443/month to $2,224/month: “It's like buying another house and trying to pay for two houses at the same time… without the subsidy we honestly don’t know what we’re gonna do.” #TrumpShutdown

A breakdown of how SNAP benefits are interdependent with the economy.
Remember: they're lying that the funds have dried up. They have contingency funds.
And recall, SNAP is 1.5% of the federal budget.
They're starving people as a political blackmail. (Netanyahu probably taught them the trick).

Attorney General Pam Bondi said she will ask a federal court to unseal more grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
But those transcripts, which could take weeks to release, would constitute only a fraction of the evidence the FBI has. wapo.st/40TzAVW

Attorney General Bondi expected to seek release of Epstein grand jury testimony
The attorney general said she would ask a court Friday to unseal pertinent grand jury records. That’s a portion of what would be included in the Justice Department’s broader investigative file.

CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

U.S. Olympians are using their trip to the Olympics to get the basic preventative healthcare they can’t afford to get in the U.S.
