Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-MN):
For every dollar invested in #SNAP $1.50 of economic activity is generated nationwide. Truckers, grocers & stores depend on it

“According to a 2019 USDA report, every dollar in new SNAP benefits increases GDP by $1.50 in a weak economy.”

“SNAP benefits are one of the fastest, most effective forms of economic stimulus because they get money into the economy quickly during a recession.”

With federal food assistance due to run out soon and federal employees without a paycheck, now is the PERFECT TIME to make a donation to your local food bank.

Trump is sending Department of Justice federal election observers to California and New Jersey next month, targeting two Democratic states holding off-year elections. Make no mistake, this is voting suppression dry run for Midterms next year when it really counts. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

We warned folks about Fetterman too, but they didn’t want to hear it.

Apparently, a lot has happened, but not much has changed.

The reason Trump illegally used an anonymous billionaire to pay soldiers during the Epstein Shutdown is because he's going to need troops for the Insurrection Act and martial law.

The reason he'll let the poor die is because he doesn't give a shit about them. Their lives don't advance his schemes.

If Republicans allow ACA premiums to expire, the most vulnerable women are the ones who get priced out of health care.

This #DVawarenssmonth, I’m calling on the GOP to prove their claims of being pro-women and children and keep millions of women insured.
