First the administration cut food assistance for Americans in need.

Now they’re refusing to use emergency funds for food assistance—even though their now-deleted shutdown plan said they could.

They have the funding to keep families from going hungry. There’s no excuse.

Jeffries: I had very positive conversations with the legislative leaders in the Illinois General Assembly yesterday—both the Speaker and the Illinois Senate President. They both acknowledged this is an existential moment. We cannot unilaterally disarm, and all options have to be on the table.

It’s been really disheartening to see the things people say about those who use SNAP. Many seem to have little understanding of why the program exists in the first place.

Jeffries: "Do what leaders do as opposed to being missing in actio for 28 days while finding $40b to bail out a right-wing wannabe dictator in Argentina & destroying the historic parts of the WH so he can construct a ballroom where he'll be celebrated like a wannabe king. It's all outrageous stuff."

We live in a country where the media is focused more on who a Democratic mayoral candidate defines as his ‘aunt’ than on the DHS Twitter account putting out white nationalist propaganda and replying to Nazis online.

I joined my Democratic colleagues in instructing USDA Secretary Rollins to use SNAP’s emergency reserves to keep food assistance flowing for the 42 million Americans who rely on it, including 16 million children, and 4 million people with disabilities. (1/3)

You realize there aren't any legit architectural plans for this new ballroom right?

It keeps changing every time he mentions it

But I bet the bunker plans are ready to go

There's a reason its funded by so many tech companies

“Chicago is the future.“

@joseolivarez.bsky.social for @chicagomag.com

when we win
the masked agents raid our neighborhoods.
what do they cover up? (yesterday) is their promise
& their charge. on 75th and South Shore they ram down
our doors using (yesterday). they toss canisters
of (yesterday) into our children’s lullabies. why?
my people,
we carry (today) & (tomorrow) in twin holsters. we
plant (today) & (tomorrow) in our gardens. every day
there are more sprouts. let it be known: Chicago
will never cower. (yesterday) already died. (yesterday)
is dying. (yesterday) will die again. there is no future
in (yesterday). the agents in our neighborhoods hide
their faces because they are losing. because they lost.
when we win,
there will be whistles from the gulls
circling Lake Michigan. let them sing it:
Chicago is a city of (today) & (tomorrow).
Chicago is the future.

In 1946 there were people in Germany and Poland who said "we didn't know".

Today no one can say they didn't know, you can only say you didn't care.
