USDA is pulling the plug on two key food programs—LFPA and LFS—that sent over $1B to farmers and fed families through schools and food banks. In a time of rising hunger, this isn’t belt-tightening—it’s gut-punching. #FoodInsecurity #USDACuts #FarmToTableToTrash #HungerCrisis #PolicyFailure

Weaponizing the IRS against undocumented workers while letting billionaires off the hook—classic misdirection. Undocumented immigrants contribute billions to Social Security and Medicare with no return, yet the system sabotages itself by driving them underground. #TaxJustice #PolicyFailure

If I understand things correctly, this will screw up Social Security and Medicare even more. Undocumented immigrants pay BILLIONS into those programs and can't access the benefits. Scare them into working under the table by weaponizing the IRS and you hurt those programs even more.

Trump ordering the 90-day pause on tariffs shows the policy was a failure. How many times do we have to teach this lesson, old man? 🤔 #Tariffs #Trade #Politics #Economics #PolicyFailure

That really is a good question. Why are we paying $8 and more for eggs on empty shelves while Mexico has plenty??? And will Happy Eggs et al. start clamoring for a tariff on eggs? Or a border wall to prevent smuggling?

Current status: we're smuggling eggs in from Mexico now.

So let's talk about WHY Mexico's egg industry has been stable- while US egg prices are through the roof!

1. Mexico puts people in jail for price-fixing.

2. Mexico lets farmers vaccinate their chickens against bird flu.
Headline: "Bird flu causes CBP egg scramble at the US-Mexico border." Lede: "Many families have been having a tough time finding affordable eggs at the grocery store. Now, federal officials say they're intercepting a growing number of eggs at the border." Headline: "16 people caught smuggling eggs into Texas." And a photo of several cartons of eggs sitting on a kitchen countertop.

Thanks to Trump changing the amount of aid going out to other countries like Mexico we may have more fentanyl crossing the boarder. This is pitiful when we already have a drug crisis.

1 in 6 U.S. healthcare workers is foreign-born.
But sure, let’s make it harder for them to stay. 🙄

Industries like agriculture, construction, and hospitality would collapse overnight. Undocumented workers are the backbone of these sectors, and replacing them isn’t as simple as it sounds. Labor shortages would halt production and services. #PolicyFailure #EconomicImpact

If one caseworker is juggling 200 clients, that’s not just a staffing problem. That’s a policy decision. Underfunded systems don’t collapse by accident. They’re designed to fail the people who need them most. Speak up. Demand better.
