Fun Fact: JD Vance was on food stamps as a child but nowadays he says SNAP recipients are all "freeloaders"

Everybody talking about how poor people shouldn’t be able to buy junk food on food stamps.. Well, I don’t think billionaires oughta be able to buy 14-year-olds on private islands.. But here we are

The only reason the Republicans want to reopen the government immediately without an ACA subsidy extension (but with a promise that they'll totally, definitely negotiate afterwards) is because they want the Dems to surrender their only leverage. But remember-- the GOP has ZERO

Republican's One Big Beautiful Bill cuts $186 billion from SNAP and $930 billion from Medicaid. Pretending to care about suffering Americans and the shutdown while controlling every branch of government, and being able to end it at any time, is peak political performance.

It takes 51 senators to steamroll the filibuster and end the shutdown. That’s it. There are 53 republicans in the senate Anyone blaming the democrats for this is lying. The White House is banking the stupidity of the MAGA vote

Spare me your crocodile tears, Sen. Thune. If there's anyone you should be directing your anger towards, it's your overlord Donald Trump—he's illegally withholding emergency funding for SNAP and ordering you to not negotiate with Democrats.   Those are the real political games.

🔥Rep. Joe Neguse: “I feel like we’re in the Twilight Zone. Trump violates the law with impunity. House Republicans have been gone for 6 weeks… and somehow the question is posed to Dems?? — Trump needs to follow the law.”

He just lies shamelessly day after day. He has had the House adjourned with Republican members sent home for over 40 days while John Thune has kept the senate in session. This all Mike Johnson following Trump’s orders, nobody else.

Insanely dishonest. Democrats have been here, ready to work. Republicans have total control of government and are doing nothing. Speaker Johnson kept the House in recess for six weeks — that was his decision and he should stop blaming others for it. Stop lying and do your job.

SNAP literally only pays for food. That’s all it can be used for. We haven’t had actual welfare checks for like 30 years.

“How are 42 million Americans on SNAP?!” The federal minimum wage is $7.25.

Mike johnson was complaining non-stop about unemployed people sitting at home collecting government checks and now he has Congress literally sitting at home, not working and collecting government paychecks.

A lot is happening right now. Make a note to yourself to remember, heading into the midterm elections in a year, that GOP senators & reps asking you to vote for them were willing to starve their constituents—your friends, family, maybe even you—for Trump.

The courts had to step in and tell Donald Trump to feed the people. Let that sink in. He was perfectly fine letting millions of Americans go hungry—in the middle of a shutdown that Republicans created. Do what the judge said, Donald. Release the funds and stop playing with

Jeffries: "Understand, until Donald Trump tells them what to do, Republicans in the House and Senate are going to be unwilling to find a bipartisan path forward because this version of the Republican Party, they don't work for the American people. They work for Donald Trump."

BREAKING: A judge says that Trump can’t require citizenship proof on the federal voter registration form, siding with Democrats and civil rights groups. apnews.com/article/trump-…

This is a blatant lie, and Secretary Noem knows it. There are well documented cases of ICE arresting U.S. citizens. It’s completely unacceptable – and DHS must be held accountable.

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

No, Mr. President. You do not have the right to take away student debt forgiveness from teachers, nurses, veterans and other public servants if they do not show loyalty to your right-wing political agenda. This is a democracy, not a dictatorship. Rescind this illegal rule.

FACT CHECK: In July he took $186 billion dollars worth of food assistance from SNAP (the largest cut ever) and gave it to billionaires & greedy CEOs. These guys don't give a shit. They've never gone hungry. They don't even buy their own groceries. What a bunch of frauds.
