CBS = state-run media

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

The insulin patent was sold for $1 to ensure it would always be available to anyone who needs it.

It should be free, and healthcare should be a basic human right guaranteed to everyone.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

ICE has beaten, detained & arrested 170 citizens, at least 3 of whom were pregnant

George Retes is a US veteran who was held in solitary for 3 days

Kristi Noem says it’s not happening, but @motherjones.com has done the reporting

If they treat citizens this way, imagine what they do to immigrants

More than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents

ProPublica uncovered that Americans have been kicked, dragged, and detained for days.

America… where they will force you to give birth and then blame you if you struggle financially.

Where they will ban abortions but also cut funding for infant formula and SNAP funds that feed kids.

He said he hopes his wife will leave her Hindu faith.
“I honestly do wish that because I believe in the Christian gospel, and I hope eventually, my wife comes to see it the same way."

When did the love and respect for diversity, and everyone having their own path, end?
Oh, wait... riiiight 🙄

Dr Oz: “I think we all agree that Covid has passed”.

No we do not agree!

Anyone who thinks Covid has passed has no business in charge of public health.

It’s still here. It’s still killing and disabling.

Get your booster if you can. Wear a mask (ideally an N95) and clean the air!

What did people do before SNAP?”

They died.

Healthcare, vaccines, disability support, education & food assistance are vital to our survival.

They’re why the average lifespan isn’t 35 anymore

The mark of a good & decent society is whether it sees the value in helping others.

SNAP is not the reason your taxes are high.

SNAP recipients don’t need to “just go get a job”.

Most of them work. The rest are disabled, elderly, children or caregivers.

People need & deserve assistance

Your taxes fund wars and tax cuts for the ultra rich

Be mad about that

WOW: The White House says the president's MAIN PRIORITY is his BALLROOM. SNAP is ending. Subsidies for health care are gong to double and in some instances quadruple plan premiums. The government is shut down. The cost of living is through the roof. And his priority is his ballroom.

The East Wing was built in 1902 & rebuilt in 1942, long after asbestos was used as a fire retardant. So, I’m sure the White House took steps to prevent a known carcinogen from entering the air during the current willy-nilly demolition.

Kidding! These irresponsible assholes don’t care who they kill.

No.

Our mask requirement is not "virtue signalling".

It's protecting a) the cancer patient and b) the child who is still too small to wear a mask.

And also--and I can't emphasize this strongly enough--you.
