I know the world won’t care because it’s not some EVIL thing Trump just did, but yesterday I marathon streamed for 11 hours and raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they say will provide 100,000 meals for people in need.

JESUS CHRIST! We Just Fed 100,000 People!

Bless you all!

If you’re ok with vouchers being used for ski trips or piano lessons but not ok with SNAP benefits being used for pizza or cupcakes, it’s not the use of public money you have a problem with.

It’s that you think wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor.

NBC's new poll say the most important issue for deciding who to support for Congress is: "Protecting constitutional rights/protecting democracy."

If you agree, I suggest you subscribe the news outlet that focuses like a laser on just that. Sign up for Democracy Docket today. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

We will need a New new deal, a redistribution of wealth as basic income, guaranteed healthcare, childcare, education, and affordable housing.

We need a restructuring and hardening of all our institutions. Expansion of SCOTUS, congressional term limits, the repeal of Citizens United.

If you’re happy about SNAP benefits being cut & are going to church this morning you’re neither a Christian nor a good person. You’re a heartless cunt.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.

Here are my three truths about climate:
1. We fail if we don’t end free-to-pollute fossil fuel model. Period. Game over.
2. A crash looms, prefigured by collapse in home insurance/mortgage markets.
3. There are true villains in the story, and we have to tell it that way.

The world's 10 richest people (nearly all from the U.S.) are collectively $500 billion richer this year thanks to growth in stocks tied to AI.

Meanwhile, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and electricity.

AI is making the rich even richer while everyone else pays the price.

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those 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.

The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

While we are outraged about Trump posting pictures of his desecration of Lincoln's bedroom bathroom, let's not forget that Americans should have been more outraged about these pictures from Trump's bathroom in Florida.

Thousands of you shared heartbreaking and maddening stories with me about rising health care costs. But the fight is far from over.

If you're willing to record your story, we can make sure GOP lawmakers see and hear the direct impact of their policy failures: wintheera.myctbl.com/share-your-s...

Amazon announced plans to lay off 14,000 employees as it looks to invest more in AI.

Wall Street cheered the news, sending Amazon stock prices higher.

This will boost Amazon's CEO pay and bolster Jeff Bezos's net worth, which is now $250 billion.

The system is rigged.
