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.

Pritzker: "Imagine it. Children who woke up that morning, expectant with joy & excitement to put on their costumes & celebrate with their neighbors in what they thought was a safe place at their homes. Armed, masked agents, terrorizing innocent people, especially children, is unconscionable."

"'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All"

In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again, writes James Jackson for Zeteo:

'Germany Is Back' – and That Should Scare Us All

In its crackdown on pro-Palestine speech, Germany has normalized racism and state violence in a way that goes beyond any conflict abroad, reminding us this really is the country of the 1920s, again.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.

He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.

He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.

I'm grateful that the Vermont governor & legislators acted to prevent Vermont children & families from going hungry.

Now Trump must obey the law & release $5 billion in emergency SNAP funding appropriated by Congress.

The richest country on Earth shouldn't be facing a hunger crisis.

The regime’s attacks on dissent are escalating. Trump’s goal is to silence opposition through fear, but the American people will never submit to his corrupt rule. The best way to protect our rights is by continuing to exercise them.

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Republicans are taking away health care from 15 million Americans.

They are doubling premiums for 20 million.

Now, they are illegally withholding emergency SNAP funding that keeps millions of children from going hungry.

All so they can give $1 trillion in tax breaks to the 1%.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants.

Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.
