Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

Beautifully sad. And still unbelievable that it’s happening here. Praying this is the biggest protest in history.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

The right-wing agenda isn’t about “life.”

It’s about control.

Talarico: if you read the new testament, Jesus doesn't spend most of his time preaching or teaching or even praying. He spends most of his time healing the sick.

Right now, we have politicians in congress with Christ follower in their Twitter bio, but they are kicking the sick off their health care

Yeah, the Democratic Party has to do something drastic. The house & Senate minority need to step aside and bring in the fire power of people like AOC Jasmin Raskin McMorrow Warren people who have the fire or the ability to communicate. And we need to be UNITED/SIMPLIFY in messaging & collective $.

They really need to start naming the mass shootings after Republican members of Congress.

Watch closely: before the evidence is in, the political accusations will start flying. Because why address root causes when you can put on another episode of America’s favorite rerun?

Remember that MLK said America suffers not just from "the vitriolic words and actions of the bad people but for the appalling silence of the good people."

I’ve been moving from Democrat to independent more so every month. I don’t know why the Democratic Party can’t be more united & coordinated.

It’s our turn to be a problem-solving generation. The suffragists did it. The abolitionists did it. The civil rights workers did it. Now it’s our turn.

Culture wars are a smokescreen. The party in power is distracting because it is failing in areas such as health, wealth, and the economy. #CA41 #KenCalvert

🗳️ Democracy isn't self-sustaining.
It thrives when we show up.

Here are 5 simple, powerful ways to protect it:
✅ Vote in every election
🗣️ Speak up in community spaces
⚠️ Challenge disinformation
📚 Read multiple sources
👥 Teach the next generation

It’s been 15+ years (since 2007) since Rep. Ken Calvert held a real, in-person town hall. Scripted calls aren’t enough. CA-41 deserves honest, face-to-face dialogue.

Will he show up during August Recess or keep hiding?

Congress just recessed early, which means Rep #KenCalvert is back in #CA41 with extra time.

As a Corona constituent, I’m calling on him to host an in-person town hall before returning to D.C. in September. We deserve transparency and direct dialogue.

🗳️ Civic engagement doesn’t take recess.
