Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

15 million Americans are going to lose their health care.
You’d think if he was going to do these things he’d at least have the decency to keep quiet about it while he punishes his voters.

She's a politician, running for Congress in Illinois. She attended a protest against ICE. ICE brutalized her, tear gassed her, body slammed her to the ground.

And now *she's* been arrested for 'hindering' ICE. She faces eight years in prison.

This is fascism.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

The person who oversees healthcare coverage for more than 160 million Americans is lying about healthcare coverage
Q: Unless ACA subsidies are extended, the average plan will increase by somewhere around 115%

DR OZ: Where'd you get that number?

Q: Kaiser Family Foundation

OZ: They retracted that. Here's the truth. The average American who's on ACA is gonna pay $13 more than this year. That's not a big issue

The USDA has a contingency plan to keep SNAP running during a government shutdown — but the document laying out that plan has been deleted from the agency’s website.

Waiting for someone to explain why the announcement of a trade relationship that is worse than the one we had a year ago is received as a big success

Angus: They banned all American wine and beer sales in the province. David Eby told Donald Trump, “You can keep your watery beer.”

We’ve seen an 85% drop in American spirit sales to Canada and a 97% drop in wine exports. Canada’s basically wiped out the market

I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.
We’ve finally gotten our hands on the ballroom plans:

Congress has provided a contingency plan for SNAP to keep the program going for years in case of a shut down. The USDA sneakily took the plan down. Now blue states are suing to continue benefits for their constituents.
Where is the money going?

Also it is objectively unhinged that Mike Johnson has simply chosen to freeze an entire branch of government by refusing to call it into session. He’s the second most powerful person in our government and is treated like he has no obligations or responsibilities.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?

MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king. It's all outrageous stuff."
