True NYT spin:
"...Schumer Risks Finding Himself Left Behind"
🙋♀️ Raise your hand if you know Schumer is *way* behind... Holding back progress, tapping the wrong candidates, not fighting and not holding the line on resisting the 'president. '
It is time for bold leadership.

Obama: When I think back to a year ago, I remember talking to some people, who would say, this election doesn't matter all that much. That however the next president ended up being, it wasn't going to matter to them. If nothing else, the last nine months should have cured us of that idea.

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 largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.
That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.
It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

A small town police force bragged that citizens "can't get a breath of fresh air in or out without us knowing" thanks to Flock surveillance cameras.
They used the cameras to wrongly accused a woman of a crime, forcing her to find other surveillance video to prove her innocence.
