I’d prefer to see him called inmate # whatever number he’d be assigned. But, losing everything he’s ever based his identity on including his posh house and having to rely entirely on his brother for even a place to live is a start.

Trump is going full Marie-Antoinette at this point (ridiculous makeup and hair and all).

Meanwhile we can’t fire them, can’t force them to go do the work we elected them to do, and still have to pay them. Congress are the real government freeloaders!!!!

Not only did they opt for wall to wall marble and gold, but they put the toilet in front of a gigantic window giving every tourist a full view of what is happening.

Oh good, maybe they’ll replace it with bleach. Trump is a medical genius.

When you control the Senate, the House, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court, you control the government! Republicans you control this shutdown and any and all chaos you allow it to create. This is a Republican shutdown and it will be a Republican lapse of SNAP full stop.

Here's the USDA's contingency plan to keep SNAP funded during a shutdown. The USDA just deleted it from their website.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva has now been waiting 36 days to be sworn in to office — setting a new record that any member of Congress has had to wait following a special election.

Let's be clear. The shutdown won't end until a deal is made with House & Senate leaders. The House needs to be in session for that. If the House in session, Johnson will have to swear in Grijalva. Which will approve the release of the Epstein files.
So we are shut down because of the Epstein files.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
