I feel much safer today knowing that we deported a Babson College student back to a country where she hasn't lived since childhood.
She wasn't even flying internationally. She was flying to Texas.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

I can't help but think that programs that support security in old age are at risk now for the same reasons programs to support independence for young adults were cut in the 1980s. They are effectively eliminating resistance blocks.

Republicans are promoting regressive taxation. They are insulating the wealthiest from the costs of government responsibilities. This will further strain the valuable work of charitable organizations and accelerate wealth consolidation by leveraging the humanity of those closest to the vulnerable.

BREAKING: Democrats just tried to pass a standalone bill to fund WIC & SNAP to make sure families don't go hungry during the Republican shutdown.
Republicans BLOCKED it. So Trump won't use emergency funds to keep SNAP running, and Republicans won't let any bills pass. Shameful.

It's been a noble defence of health care access. We could have held out for that. With the threat of an end to SNAP, the stakes just tipped. Food is fundamental. Did the Republicans just win the shutdown showdown by intensifying the threat of pain? Shouldn't we reopen the government to ensure food?
