Come November, when SNAP runs out, Republicans are expecting Black folks to be the ones to raise hell. Nope. It’s going to be their own white voters in deep red states having conniption fits.

Good luck:
• Mike Johnson in Louisiana
• Tommy Tuberville in Alabama
• Cindy Hyde-Smith in Mississippi

Just watched Senator Mark Kelly on ChrisHayes on MSNBC. He explained that he voted for a judge in Mississippi, Chris challenged him - why does he feel he has to do that? Mark Kelly said he has to work with the GOP & they need judges. I find that repugnant! NO, just say no! Refuse to do anything.

Farmers - he came for you last time - you were surprised & hurt then - how come he fooled you again? Now WE, the rest of the country, will have to bail you out again. If you were an innocent victim, like SNAP beneficiaries who have no food, I'd be happy to do it. But - you voted for him twice.

Farmers didn't think he would come for them too.
But he's coming for everyone and everything.
Live and learn people - everything he touches dies.

Dear @POTUS Trump,
We love you and support you- but your
suggestion to buy beef from Argentina to
stabilize beef prices would be an absolute
betrayal to the American cattle rancher.
We understand there are larger economic and
geopolitical dynamics at play, including
countering...

He may be demolishing one of the most iconic structures in American history…

But on the bright side, the billionaires he gave massive tax cuts to will have a nice ballroom to dance in.

You’re not invited, though. 🫤

And your healthcare premiums are going to skyrocket. 🤷‍♂️

The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no evidence they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had proof, they’d face a court, not a drone.

The law still applies, even to suspected drug traffickers, and right now, the Administration’s story isn’t adding up.

Graham Platner Should Run for Maine State Legislature

Intemperate posts from a candidate’s past need not be disqualifying. But more should be known before nominating Platner for a Senate seat.
