The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Trump intentionally starving Americans is a crime against humanity. Every other President--including Trump in his first term--ensured SNAP benefits during a govt shutdown were paid so that Americans in need could eat. But not Trump. My new article: deanobeidallah.substack.com/p/trump-inte...

In 2001, terrorists tried to destroy the White House with a hijacked plane. 24 years later, the president of the United States accepted a plane from people funding terrorists and destroyed the White House himself.🔄

Put bluntly, can a law firm really represent a client zealously against the Trump’s administration when, at the same time, it is seeking to stay on Trump’s good side through an settlement agreement? www.thebulwark.com/p/big-law-bi...
Big Law’s Big Choice
A D.C. Bar opinion shows why it would be ethical for the nine Big Law firms to rescind their settlement agreements with Trump. But to do so would invite his wrath.

The dramatic repudiation of Trump this week wrecks a number of absurd narratives the media has pushed lately. In the runup to the election, NYT pieces kept telling us Dems were overly obsessed with attacking Trump.

That dumb idea now lies in ruins. 1/

The results showed that Democrats don’t have to choose between attacking Trump and highlighting the economy. In fact, they are often inseparable.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.

October hit a 20-YEAR RECORD for layoffs under Trump as aviation is collapsing, airlines told to cut 10% of flights. Even after 9/11, aviation wasn’t this hollowed out for this long. This is an embarrassment.

Excessive force. PERIOD!

They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.

Easily several hundred people have packed into this plaza in Chicago's North Center tonight in response to ICE abducting a daycare worker early this morning.

This is a neighborhood that has largely been spared until now from the "Midway Blitz" terror campaign. But everyone knows someone affected.

ICE detained a U.S. citizen for 7 hours in Portland after she photographed ICE agents.

As of Tuesday morning, ICE still had her phone and her engagement ring, she said.

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.
