The number is right there: 700,000 fewer kids receiving food assistance after Republican SNAP cuts under Trump. Not a rumor. Not spin. Reported fact. And it’s summer — no school meals to fill the gap. A photo op with a baby doesn’t feed a single child. #RepublicansStarveChildren

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren

If you watch the Obama Library, the World Cup, and the Knicks parade this afternoon -- and nothing else -- you can actually see the America we're supposed to be at age 250

Warnock: Right before they passed that ugly bill that cut $1 trillion out of medicaid, the Speaker of the House joined with other legislators and said a prayer, and then they went and voted for that bill. I just want to know what was in that prayer.

There is exactly one good story coming out of the Boston sports scene right now and it's that the Scottish fans are drinking the town dry and playing bagpipes everywhere and just generally being delightful

I love this. The Obamas honoring Nancy Pelosi with a garden in her name is so well deserved. Without Nancy Pelosi, there would be no Affordable Care Act.

When we win, the first bill I’m filing is a comprehensive anti-corruption package: Overturn Citizens United Ban corporate PACs and super PACs Ban members of Congress from trading stocks Once we defeat the most corrupt politician in America, we can defeat this entire corrupt system.

It's crazy how we have both the World Cup and America 250 this year, and almost no one cares about them because this regime has wholly sucked the joy out of even momentous national events.

Until the majority of white Americans decide that their ability to live a good life is more valuable to them than terrorizing and killing Black & Brown people at home and abroad we will never move forward as a nation

I don’t think there’s enough of an outrage around the fact that the Iranian World Cup team is not allowed to stay in the US so they have to leave after every game and go to Mexico.

He's lying. You know why we know? WE HAVE THE AGREEMENT HE SIGNED!!!! Here's the operative language: "The U.S. undertakes, together with regional partners, a comprehensive plan...for the rehabilitation and economic development of Iran...of at least $300 billion."

"Bradley Cooper is starring in a major Hollywood film about January 6th directed by Sean Penn. The officers who were beaten that day are going to have their stories told to millions of people. Justice cmes in many forms. This is one of them." Really American

1. Voters elected someone manifestly unfit for the presidency. 2. Elected GOP failed to do their duty and instead gave POTUS cover for widespread lawbreaking (Dem response mixed). 3. The President launched an illegal war. 4. Now, no good outcomes available, here’s to hoping we get the least bad.

I know I keep saying this but, fuck. Politics aside.. The President of the United States is a complete and utter embarrassment. I have never seen such cringe and uncouth behavior in my entire life. Fullstop, what the fuck are we doing America?

Iran got sanctions removed, will continue missile program, their nuclear program stays intact, they’ll get $300B and confirmed they’ll continue to toll Strait of Hormuz. US lost hundreds of billions, has record high gas prices, Americans are dead, NO gains. Art of the fraud.

For the record: I would MUCH rather send 300 billion to rebuild Iran, which we attacked for no reason, than for us to send another fucking dime to Israel. In fact, Israel got us into this fakakta mess. It should be paying at least as much in reparations to Iran too.
