Fund SNAP. Reverse the Medicaid cuts. Restore USAID.

@maddow.msnbc.com They have to retract this. This is telling an entire nation in a national emergency food drive that help is on its way in a few days and that’s simply not true.

I cannot agree more! The cost of making all vaccines free will be completely offset by lives saved and all the morbidity & hospical costs averted

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

“There’s too many Americans on SNAP!”

Yes there are. Too many corporations refuse to pay a living wage.

Huge companyies are encouraging their employees to apply for SNAP because they don’t pay them enough to survive.

The government encourages this & then blames the poor.

Imagine just not showing up to work but expecting to get paid and keep the job.

Infographic titled “Days House Republicans Have Worked in the Last 3 Months.” It shows a three-month calendar for August, September, and October. A key indicates red squares as “worked” and gray squares as “did not work.”
• August: all days gray, meaning no work days.
• September: red squares on September 2–4, 8–11, and 15–19, showing only 11 workdays.
• October: all days gray, meaning no work days.

The image highlights that House Republicans worked only a small number of days in September and none in August or October.

Remember, they're currently arguing that Biden's pardons are illegitimate because he signed the actual forms with an autopen.

Trump, meanwhile, repeatedly insists he knows nothing at all about one of his very controversial pardons. Never heard of the guy!

Sorta seems like a problem.

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao?

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is

O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him.

TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

In case you need a summary of what’s happening, Republicans are unnecessarily making 40 million people go hungry to blackmail Democrats into making your grandma’s health insurance premiums double.

It’s worth repeating:

If Donald Trump said end this shutdown today, Republicans would do it.

Want to get Americans off SNAP?

Well, if the minimum wage had kept up with inflation and productivity, it would be $26 an hour. That would remove 13 million workers from food stamps overnight.

Start there.
