PSA: If ICE bursts down your door, put your dogs or other animals in a cage or a closed room. ICE agents have been trigger-happy before. Let someone know they are there.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Mr. "I Don't Take Responsibility At All" thinks the MASSIVE BLUE WAVE was because he wasn't on the ballot, not
a Major Referendum on his 2nd Term.

Turns out folks prefer feeding the hungry over building expen$ive, tacky Ballrooms.

Looking forward to the midterms... 🌊

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

We’re putting food on the table in Argentina ($40 billion), yet MAGA Republicans are threatening to withhold SNAP funds already allocated by Congress. MAGA = Make Argentina Great Again.

The Trump admin’s USDA issued new guidance stating it will not use existing funds to cover SNAP benefits if the government shutdown extends beyond October 31. This move effectively threatens to withhold billions of dollars in Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) contingency funding

The Trump administration plans to mint a $1 coin featuring Trump’s image, yet another illegal move. This violates the 1866 law, which states that only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency.

With abortion rights and reproductive freedom under assault by politicians across the country, California stands firmly by a woman's right to choose.

Our defense of these fundamental rights is unshakeable.
