Let’s be clear: this shutdown didn’t happen by accident. Republicans are holding the government hostage to protect billionaires and greedy corporations while working families pay more for healthcare, rent, and groceries. That’s the real cost of their shutdown shenanigans.

Let me get this straight. They could have kept premiums from doubling, but they gave the wealthy tax cuts instead. Then they shielded billionaires from being named in the Epstein files. And now they shut down the government instead of giving us healthcare and the Epstein list.

Minnesotans across race and place are showing up to say: ✊🏽 No more rule by billionaires. ✊🏿 No more attacks on our freedoms. ✊🏻 No more ICE raids, militarized streets, or MAGA shutdowns. America has no kings — and working people are ready to lead. #NoKings #NoKingsMN SEIU

Our tax dollars should be used for our collective needs. Not corporate handouts or billionaire tax breaks. Public dollars are for public needs, full stop.

It's actually more costly, short-term and long-term, to give tax cuts to billionaires. How dare they do this to our great state.

"I have been careful about what I eat, and right now the only thing keeping me from going hungry is SNAP," Lena Diaz of Phoenix said. "But from November 1st, that health, that lifeline will be gone, and I don't know what I'm supposed to do." azcentral.com/story/news/loc…

In a staggering display of cruelty, the Trump regime will only issue partial payments this month to the 42 million people who need food assistance, including 16 million children. Here are some ways you can step in to help your community at this moment 👇 thecut.com/article/how-to…

Cuts to SNAP benefits are cruel. And it’s AFSCME members like Stacy Smith (Local 2882) who work on the front lines as eligibility specialists, who are seeing the effects: "We had a client that came in & was afraid she'd have to go back to eating cat food." usatoday.com/story/news/nat…

8 in 10 Americans view SNAP favorably. 7 in 10 want the wealthy and corporations to pay more taxes. Why the hell are we accepting a fight over whether hungry families deserve food, rather than just making billionaires pay their fair share?

Conservatives want you to choose between healthcare and food, when actually you should be able to have both in the richest country in the world.

SNAP is a lifeline for workers in low-wage jobs. Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker. Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps. Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.
