The federal emergency funds are intended to be used to fund programs like SNAP during a shut down.

Refusing to release these funds is a choice by the president to intentionally starve Americans.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Lofgren: Now, instead of the president weighing in, we’ve got him doing weird little dances as he lands in Asia, and he’s missing in action. The Senate is refusing to negotiate across party lines, and the House of Representatives isn’t even meeting. I mean, I’ve never seen anything like this.
And now, many of them will be hungry as the result of being racist, much like those children starving in the treehouse who can't get down now. Your metaphor works.

Breaking: Trump just banned states from being able to wipe medical debt from Americans’ credit reports.

The Biden-Harris administration had moved to wipe medical debt from credit reports. Now this new rule will keep $220 billion in medical bills on Americans’ records.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just won’t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

BREAKING: We're suing North Carolina over its congressional map that disenfranchises Black voters in the state.

The newly passed map shifts thousands of Black voters out of their communities of representation.

I wonder if the time difference makes him extra loopy. That and he clearly never listens when they explain protocol.

Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."

Thank you, @jessicatarlov.bsky.social for saying what no one else will

“The government has killed 32 people in 7 strikes with no proof they were traffickers. The admiral leading the mission quit. If we had evidence, they’d face a court, not a drone.”

They abolished the House of Representatives ... solely to prevent the release of information about the president's best friend, the pedophile who ran a sex trafficking ring.
I really think that we need to talk more about the fact that Republicans have basically quietly abolished the House of Representatives

Democrats should hold a press conference and announce that if Mike Johnson has no interest in running the House they'd be happy to do it for him
Mike Johnson has dissolved Congress. Why?

It's been 33 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

When Trump said he would bring on a "New Golden Age," he was talking about his wallet.
