The problem is NOT the single mother getting $9/day in food stamps. The problem is billionaires like the Waltons and Bezos who pay wages so low that working families need food stamps.

A quick reminder that the House is not in session because Speaker Johnson CANCELED it, not because of the current shutdown.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Dodged the draft with “bone spurs”. Show us the x/rays & RELEASE the EPSTEIN Files!
The president had a MRI but won't say why.

He had bruises on his hands but wouldn't say why.

He just had an 'annual medical' even though he already had his annual medical.

He got shot in the ear but has never released the medical records relating to it.

How is any of this ok?

Causing pain follows Vought’s intent.
Loyalty to their ☠️🦤Fuhrer, and to crackpot 🦤☠️Mr Measles, not professional competence & integrity, are all that matter.

Release the Files!!!

Incredible. Sort of as if the Commander in Chief decided that a country had nuclear and bioweapons programs being shared with terrorist groups, then fired any intelligence organization personnel who found, and presented, contradictory evidence.

RELEASE THE FILES!

Florida, Louisiana, Iowa… The public health race to the bottom fostered by the 🦤Desantisan, 🦤Mike (work 1 day out of 8?) Johnsonian, 🦤Thunian, 🦤Trumpian GOP. Bringing ☠️death, instead of health.

Release the files!

Louisiana’s worst whooping cough outbreak in decades: 387 cases, 2 infant deaths.

After Surgeon General Ralph Abraham paused vaccine promotion, cases surged and the public was left in the dark.

Antivaxx politics cost lives.

Nice article from @rosemarywestwood.bsky.social
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

"It won't interfere with the current building. It won't be. It'll be near it but not touching it, and pays total respect to the existing building, which I'm the biggest fan of. It's my favourite place. I love it." - Donald Trump, July 2025
America isn't split evenly between Liberals and Conservatives. If it was, Conservatives wouldn't need anti-majoritarian methods like voter suppression, gerrymandering, manipulating the Electoral College, and claiming elections are rigged.

Republican healthcare is just like Medicare, but instead of “care,“ there’s just a shrug.

Even Grok gets it. Federal workers aren’t living large, they’re just surviving. Like most Americans they’re one missed paycheck away from the edge.

When rent, food, and gas eat your whole check, there’s nothing left to save.

PS- this dude’s a jerk.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 85th day out of the last 97.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.
The 2020 election was the most verified in U.S. history. You begged Georgia’s Secretary of State to “find” 11,000 votes, remember that? We do.

And the only crooked moron in the White House is a convicted felon who doubled his wealth in 9 months and now fears the next midterms.
For the last several months, federal workers have been through hell. Things have only gotten worse during the shutdown.

When I left the Department of Labor, I shared some parting words with the civil servants who worked alongside me.

These words of gratitude feel especially relevant today.

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.
