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.

Rosalind Franklin died at 37 of ovarian cancer attributed to radiation exposure from the methods she & her assistant used to photograph a cross-section of the DNA double helix.

Meanwhile, Watson won a Nobel off that work & survived to the ripe old age of 97 by simply: stealing those notes!

That clip of Bannon circulating rn where he admits he's going to prison if Dems ever regain power should actually be DEEPLY ALARMING bc it outlines stakes & desperation that will likely *escalate* regime lawlessness & violence. Taking action now could help prevent that.
Steve Bannon: If we lose the midterms and we lose 2028, some in this room are going to prison, myself included.

Hi Sally. When Weiss published a supposed expose on the death of George Floyd, a veteran criminal justice reporter showed in deep detail that the piece was not just wrong but filled with falsehoods and misrepresentations. Weiss did not retract the piece. What do you think of that?
This is really smart. Amazed at the hysteria over the ascendance of a woman entrepreneur who clearly knows how to cover and sell news and who's not afraid to take on a mob. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

Disabled people aren’t “less than”.

It’s not a moral failing.

Most people will experience disability at some point.

It’s a minority group you can join at any time.

We need more accessibility, inclusion, accommodation and compassion.

There’s no social justice without disability justice.

"He was one of one." 💔 Senior Airman Roger Fortson was more than a serviceman — he was a brother, a friend, a protector. He served this country w/ honor — yet even that uniform couldn’t protect him at home. Killed in his home by a deputy in Okaloosa County (FL). We continue to demand accountability.

None of the new appointees to the CDC vaccine panel have expertise in vaccines. The only difference between these people and Caligula’s horse is that the horse wasn’t an antivaxxer.
#HHS announced five new appointees to #ACIP just days ahead of an upcoming meeting that's set to weigh the future of at least three vaccinations.

Here are the five new ACIP panelists:

The president of the American Soybean Association is constantly on TV these days asking for a bailout and to answer two questions on your mind (1) yes, he's on record as voting for Trump in 2016, 2020, and 2024 (2) yes his family has owned that Kentucky farm since before the Civil War. 🧐
