We have this great economic engine in America that produces tremendous wealth, but also externalities of extreme poverty, disabled workers, and alienation. Programs like SNAP benefits are the equivalent of "making your kids pick up their plate" after a meal. It's literally the least we can do.
FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

My heart is broken about this news about Rob Reiner and his wife Michele. Rob was such a good and passionate person and you couldn’t find a better Democrat. He has left a tremendous legacy of fighting for good. I’m so grateful for his support over the years. May he and Michele Rest in Peace.

Great to see @gallego.senate.gov absolutely savaging Republicans for helping cover up Trump's illegal killings. As I've been arguing, Dems should be taking *that* approach. Hound Republicans mercilessly until they agree to get to the bottom of all of it:

ICYMI — “I identified myself as a U.S. citizen and a veteran, but that didn't matter. ICE Agents smashed my window, sprayed tear gas and pepper spray into my car, dragged me out… this experience violated the very principles I fought to defend.”

NEW: This is an exquisite Expert Backgrounded on the laws and U.S. military practices that would apply to the survivors of a boat strike.

Many thanks to @marknevitt.bsky.social.

Especially valuable in light of WaPo's reporting today, which raises more questions than answers imo.

House Intel Chair Rick Crawford on why he doesn't want video of the second Sept 2 boat strike released: "What the trained eye can detect from these videos may reveal sources and methods that would imperil troops." (But releasing video of the first strike didn't?)

Democrats would be crazy not to make this comment super-famous tomorrow when the Senate debates health care. Republicans don’t want you to be cared for as a patient when you’re sick. They think of you as a “consumer”—and tough luck if you don’t have the money for the care you need.
Roger Marshall: "We want patients to become consumers again. We want patients to see what the actual prices are. We believe that if we would add the price tags to this bill, that it would save the country a trillion dollars a year."

“Kill all boats no matter where they are going or what they possess” isn’t a strategy, it’s just a killing spree
WELKER: Is there any hard evidence showing this particular boat was headed to the US?

TOM COTTON: That didn't come up in my briefing

WELKER: Are you comfortable having the US target a boat that you're not sure is heading to the US?
