As we get ready to shop for Thanksgiving remember the farm workers who harvest the food. We wouldn't enjoy a #Thanksgiving dinner without their hard work. #WeFeedYou

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

“Ale" works in the carrot harvest in CA. She earns $3.05 for every box of carrots she packs. One box has 24 bunches of 7 carrots each. To earn $100 she has to pack 34 boxes or 816 bunches which represents over 5000 carrots picked in a day. #WeFeedYou

But Trump wants to give everyone 2,000 dollars. Americans need to stop being sheep. Demand Medicare for all.
Average healthcare costs in the US:
Giving birth? $18,000
Cancer treatment? $150,000
One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k.
That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through.
Cost in Canada? $0.
Cost in the UK? $0.
Cost in Australia? $0.

Damn, this poll is brutal! And it’s going to get worse…
The only folks still supporting Trump are MAGA Republicans, and even that won’t last much longer once the fact that Trump is just fine leaving them hungry really sets in.

Body cams apparently show Border Patrol agents joking about tossing tear gas at a nonviolent protest, with one agent saying "Hey, throw it [tear gas] for fun."
Agents then tried to drive away, but there was apparently so much tear gas they were overcome, couldn't drive, and had to leave on foot.

A Border Patrol agent was caught on video telling another to throw tear gas “for fun,” according to a court filing. They also mocked protesters and residents who were getting gassed.

Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.
They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

Mike Johnson: "These blue states have abused the SNAP program just like they've abused Medicaid and so many other government programs."

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads.
Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

In a major victory, a court ruled the Trump administration must use emergency funds to provide food stamps to Americans.
No one should choose between paying bills and buying groceries.
We'll continue our lawsuit to fight for our families and the services they deserve.

Collusion is secret cooperation. Corruption is abusing power for personal gain. Collusion can be corruption...but not always.
The trick of modern power is making collusion legal so corruption hides behind paperwork instead of prison bars.

Murphy: "Trump is refusing to negotiate because he likes the fact the govt is closed, bc he thinks he can exercise King-like powers. He can pay the employees who are loyal to him. This is a leader who is trying to transition our govt from a democracy to something much closer to a totalitarian state"
