Great framing.

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.

Hey media, and hell, dems too... Stop saying DOGE is cutting programs and firing people. Congress controls the "purse" Congress controls funding. Congress is run by Republicans. So Republicans are cutting funding and firing everyone. Give them the credit they deserve.

Musk’s status as a “special government employee” limits him to 130 days in the executive branch. However, despite working daily—documented by his own X posts—they claim he only works one day a week, effectively stretching his limit to 130 weeks. This needs to be brought to Congress—please share.

So 47 is irate with Zelenskyy. Says Zelenskyy has dishonored the Oval Office. It’s not true. Zelenskyy spoke truth to power. I stand with Ukraine. 🇺🇦 #istandwithukraine.

Since Musk’s lapdog has decided to arbitrarily change the name of the Gulf of Mexico, I think other countries should change the name of the US on their maps. Suggestions?

To America’s 2.3 million federal employees: Don’t accept a buyout. Neither Musk nor even Trump has the legal authority to make such an offer. And even if they did, would you trust them to follow through on it? Sincerely, Robert Reich Former U.S.Secretary of Labor

U.S. Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL): “We were denied access to the Treasury Bldg. We will enter because we need to provide oversight to Elon Musk and his team. We don't know what they are doing behind these closed doors.” No one elected Elon, and our Congress Democrats are denied entry? Seriously?

Per Wired/TPM/NY Times, Musk engineers now have alarming access to both ends of the system for federal #Medicaid $ for states: (1) HHS/CMS payment portal system, the interface for states to request funding and get federal approval and (2) Treasury payment system that actually sends the $ to states.

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The leaked House Republican plan calls for $2.5 TRILLION in mandatory spending cuts (things like Medicare, Medicaid, food assistance, veterans’ benefits) to fund tax cuts for billionaires. We need to understand who will be hurt the most. 🚨I need your help to spread the word🚨

The fact that Trump is hurting his own people so badly would be an interesting story if the press decided to tell it.

Seven of the 10 states most dependant on federal $ are red , and 7 of the 10 least dependent are blue. Biden's green jobs projects are disproportionately in red districts. Rural areas rely much more on federal funding than urban. Rural healthcare doesn't exist without Medicaid and CHIP.

What would you do if your cousin told you that he was going to become a bounty hunter to round up undocumented immigrants? What if they go to other states & kidnap people back to MS? What if they start rounding up citizens & legal residents? Do you always keep your passport with you? MAGA=Nazis

Mississippi's new HB 1848 proposes a $1,000 "bounty hunter" reward for turning in undocumented immigrants. This state-sanctioned targeting fuels fear, endangers lives, and tears families apart. It is inhumane and un-American to incentivize hunting vulnerable people.

I ordered Christmas Stamps from USPS on December 3rd. After starting in Kansas City, they traveled to Detroit and Cincinnati before arriving here in Southwest Indiana.

Dear @ABC, Stephanopoulos didn’t do a damn thing wrong, but now that you’ve capitulated in advance to the spaghetti sauce stained sexual predator he’s saying he’ll sue the Des Moines Register, 60 Minutes & the Pulitzer committee. Because they had the audacity to report the truth.

You are up to date.
