The top five richest people in America could end hunger in America tomorrow.

And still be multi billionaires.

Yet they don’t.

My wife works as a resource manager for a cancer clinic. A large portion of those undergoing cancer treatments rely on SNAP because THEY CAN'T WORK.

Roaring 20s party at the golf resort you have to pay a $200K fee to join while bragging about all the marble you slapped in a bathroom at the WH which you're "renovating" w/a $350M ballroom funded by corporations + billionaires DURING A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. Crickets in the media🙃

On day 31 of the government shutdown, Trump parties at Mar-a-Lago with his wealthy friends instead of working to reach a deal with Democrats to reopen the government.

FBI: We didn't do that.
News outlet: Here's a picture of a 14-year-old zip tied.
FBI: Oh, it wasn't *young* children.
Me: 🙄

Government still shutdown, Americans not getting paid, food assistance for low-income families & children about to be cut off, and this is what he cares about. He’s a psychopath, humanly incapable of caring about anyone or anything but himself.👇

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Kamala Harris on Jon Stewart's podcast: "I mean, are you fucking kidding me? This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that, that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now?"

Mamdani: I think people voted with their pockets in mind. They wanted to see if they could actually afford the things they could afford four years prior. But instead, what they’re seeing is that Donald Trump is focused on his own pockets.

More than 47 million Americans — including one in five children — don’t have reliable, affordable access to nutritious food. And as the cost of living skyrockets, more families are depending on SNAP benefits, or food stamps, to put food on the table.
