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.

I just took this screenshot. They’re so close to getting it and yet so damn far away. (The proposed community note says “This is DEI.”)

reposting with alt text because this feels incredibly significant. the right-wing disinfo machine means a lot of the people grieving Charlie Kirk never heard any of the things he said that would have tarnished his brand as Guy Who Just Wants to Have Dialogue Across the Aisle

They keep acting like the Trump-musk thing is a distraction from a more substantive issue but it IS the substantive issue! They’re literally fighting about the bill! Take the W!

Trump announced he wants to cut $163B that would've gone to health care, housing, child care, education, clean energy, nutrition, & research.

But he wants $1 trillion for the Pentagon, which has never passed an audit.

It was never about waste, fraud, and abuse. It's about making the rich richer.

Pre-ordered two copies of @maklelan.bsky.social’s book back in November. While I waited for those to ship I bought two more to get signed at the book tour event last weekend. Now I have four copies, and I’m not mad about it.

Sen. Booker’s speech was a substantive and moral account of this moment. He did not read the phone book. He did not babble.
For 24 hours @booker.senate.gov laid out a detailed, damning, and critical narrative of truth, history, politics, morality, humanity.

What will you do?

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

If you wanted to cut waste, fraud, and abuse, you would empower the inspectors general.

If you wanted more waste, fraud, and abuse, you would fire them.
