He said this when campaigning!
People covering the campaign knew then but didn't report it, just like today's reporters won't either.

The president of the United States thinks asylum-seekers come from mental asylums.

He says it in almost every interview where the topic of migration comes up.

How is this not 25th Amendment territory? How is he not an embarrassment to this entire country?

Dictators don’t like math—because math insists on reality.

We’re still trying to work out how this math maths. Is he suggesting people are crossing illegally out of the US into Mexico and Canada? Math exposes the lie, but when reality is inconvenient, the authoritarian will simply demand a new one.

One of my students asked to take home an extra breakfast for her mom and an extra lunch for her dad, in case you’re wondering how the loss of SNAP benefits is affecting kids.

Amazon and Walmart are two of the biggest recipients of SNAP and Medicaid funds because they don't take care of their employees. Families working 40+ hours a week requiring gov subsistence. In Canada they go to food pantries to make ends meet.

Corporations are the real "welfare queens" of society

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Exactly. Show him his post first. Put it up on a screen. Then ask him virtually any question about any word, phrase, or sentence in it.

Exactly right. Fighting to keep premiums from spiking is good, but they should really be fighting to truly fix this broken system. #MedicareForAllNOW

While their supporters vilify anyone who doesn’t work and receives government assistance, congress gets paid throughout the shutdown.

While people lose their Medical care, congress gets healthcare for life.

While folks lose SNAP, congress gets over $70 a day for food

Project 2025 calls for the removal of kids from poor single parent households to be placed with “proper” parents.

With SNAP being cut, the judgement on low income families is only increasing.

Meanwhile 1,790 kids went missing from Georgia foster care. Many of them were likely sex trafficked

'An urgent issue': Hundreds of Georgia foster kids may have been sex trafficked, report says

A new report shows that hundreds of children have likely been sex trafficked while in Georgia’s foster care system.

Her adoptive dad had sexually assaulted her for years. But when Taylor Cadle told police, she was treated like a “monster.” She was charged with lying to the police and had to write an apology letter to her abuser.

Justice finally came when Taylor took her phone and hit record.

Police didn’t believe a 12-year-old who said she'd been raped. Then she hit record.

“If I didn’t find the evidence for them, I wasn’t too sure they would find it.”
