Members of Congress get $79 a day for meals. SNAP recipients receive an average of $6.31 per day.
Food stamps aren't what's bankrupting our country.
Hint: it's greed.

Just checking: the republicans that attacked and sent marshals to arrest Texas dems for not showing up to work (in an effort to protect voting rights, btw) are the same republicans that are not showing up to work, yeah?

OPINION: The United States is now executing people on the high seas whom Trump calls "enemy combatants."

Could Trump order the military to kill Americans? It might be closer than you think

The United States is now executing people on the high seas whom Trump calls “enemy combatants.” He’s doing so without a declaration of war, without input from Congress, and without any findings that they pose a threat to the United States.At this moment, Secretary of Defense (or Secretary of War, as...

Steven Miller can not 'grant' immunity to those willfully breaking the law with illegal detention & overly aggressive behaviors taking individuals randomly into custody for vague reasons. The ICE Trump 'brown shirts' are reminiscent of Hitlers personal domestic enforcers who operated like ICE

🚨🚨🚨When the government fails the people; the people must rise, and help one another. Volunteering helps. Donating helps. Make supper and take it to your neighbors. Everything helps.

We will NOT let our military members and their families go hungry. We take care of our own.

volunteer, donate.

And #VoteYesOnProp50
