#SNAP recipients aren't the only ones who will suffer from Trump's obscene failure to provide this life-saving benefit.
Farmers, retail owners,
truck drivers, employees
of multiple outlets... the list goes on.
Once again, your taxpayer dollars are not being spent on the needs of our citizens.

Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year.
And America shrugged and moved on.

Public service announcement - if you want a Covid vaccine this year, be sure to check the “conditions” that would qualify a person under 65 for the vaccine. You might be surprised by the list!
Americans are losing the ability to choose vaccination.

They're openly calling to lock up every trans person by force. We need every ally to speak out forcefully against this because trans folks cannot do this on our own.

Fox News' Trey Gowdy: "The only thing that can give us any modicum of peace at all is those two children are with the person who loved them the very most, the person who created them, that being Jesus. That is the only thing that can possibly give parents in the future any modicum of peace."

According to the Yale Budget Lab, the average effective tariff rate in this economy right now is 18.2%
Let me put that another way.
President Trump has raised taxes on American businesses and consumers by -- on average -- 18.2%

A thing I really need people to keep in mind: 15% tariffs are high, historically speaking. 10% tariffs are high.
The average effective tariff rate before this term was just over 2%. Anything double-digits is high!

This week, Trump ended the 988 hotline service that has helped many of our LGBTQ+ neighbors during moments of crisis.
This is cruel, it is dangerous, and it could be deadly.
To our LGBTQ+ siblings: we see you, we love you, & there are resources available to you.
