The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

Five public health facts RFK Jr doesn't want you to know:
1. Vaccines work and are safe.
2. Solid fats aren't health foods.
3. Random dead animals you find lying around are not safe to touch (or eat).
4. Methylene blue is a dye, not a miracle cure.
5. Measles is bad for you.

one interesting thing about this is that no one on the “maybe tariffs are good” side of things has made an argument for why americans would be better off more low end manufacturing jobs versus making service jobs better paying and unionized
"I disagree with the Democrats who live in the framework that we just need cheap goods from China and Mexico, and their message is: 'Washing machines and avocados are going to get more expensive,'" @faiz.bsky.social tells @axios.com.
Why some Democrats are warm to Trump's tariffs
It's the latest example of Democrats' soul-searching and agenda-tweaking in the aftermath of Trump's election.
