SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs.
Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.
Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.
Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

Massachusetts AG Campbell: What you heard from the president and the speaker is total bullshit.
Let’s take a step back. Never in the history of this country — during a war or an emergency shutdown — has the federal government ever stopped funding SNAP benefits for our most vulnerable.

Obama: "The weird videos of a US president with a crown on his head flying a fighter jet & dumping poop on American citizens - that's not even worth booing about. Because all of that is a distraction from the fact that your situation, your life has not gotten better. They do it so you won't notice"

Even Grok gets it. Federal workers aren’t living large, they’re just surviving. Like most Americans they’re one missed paycheck away from the edge.
When rent, food, and gas eat your whole check, there’s nothing left to save.

My two takeaways on this:
1. CNN's CEO is utterly craven. No surprise there.
2. The White House is getting very nervous about how poorly the demolition of the East Wing is going over with most Americans. Good.

This video of the aftermath of Russia's strike against a kindergarten in Kharkiv shows what Moscow does to civilians, including to children, everyday. One of the seven people injured had to have a leg amputated, another person suffered severe burns on 20% of their body.

Nothing new from the people who are also sending $40 billion to Argentina while refusing to fund our own government. Shameful.

Trump is threatening to withhold back pay for federal workers furloughed during the shutdown — which goes against a law he signed in 2019, by the way.
This should come as no surprise: Trump and his businesses have been accused of stiffing hundreds of their own workers out of pay over the years.

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.
