Yes, food assistance & FEMA will lose funding—but that has nothing to do with Democrats and EVERYTHING to do with Trump’s Big Ugly Bill. Speaker Johnson—if you care so much about these programs, MAYBE DON’T PASS A BILL THAT DEFUNDS THEM.
Mike Johnson: "They want to talk about healthcare? If they don't fund the government, guess what does stop -- the WIC program. That's women, infants, and children nutrition program won't be funded. We won't have FEMA funded."
If regular folks skip work, they get fired. House Republicans (who are in charge) think the rules don’t apply to them—they’re sitting on their couch while the gov is about to run out of $. Democrats are in DC fighting to lower healthcare costs. We showed up to work. They didn’t.
Inflation is out of control. Unemployment is rising. Groceries are at record highs. Your healthcare premiums are about to skyrocket. The government is about to run out of money. …and House Republicans went home. Shameful.
Sonia Dahmani is imprisoned in Tunisia for her peaceful expression of speech. I sent a letter with @schiff.senate.gov, Senator Cassidy, and @repmcgovern.bsky.social to the Tunisian President asking for her release. Ending her detention would affirm the democratic aspirations of the Tunisian people.
First, they overturned Roe. Now, they want to criminalize abortion in every state & make it harder for women to receive the care they need. On the 25th anniversary of mifepristone’s FDA approval, let’s all recommit to fighting back against government control of women’s bodies.
Why do Republicans want to punish an escalator mechanic more than the woman who helped Epstein sexually abuse teenage girls? Why won’t his FBI director release the “BLACK BOOK?” Why did Trump call the files “irrelevant” after he found out what was in them? Why won’t he meet with the victims?
UN escalator breaks: MAGA demands exhaustive investigations. Trump hides a list of pedophiles: MAGA looks the other way.
Maria Bartiromo: "The escalator stopped as soon as he and the first lady stepped on it. Look at how great Melania was. She's unphased. She walks on it ... but this could've been a massive, massive issue. The president being frozen there in one place makes him vulnerable."
Trump always seems to find billions to bail out his authoritarian friends—but not for food assistance or universal healthcare or anything that helps regular people. If we can prop up a foreign currency, we can damn well afford to provide basic services for American families.
The U.S. is in talks to provide Argentina with a $20 billion swap line to help contain financial upheaval and support President Javier Milei’s free-market overhaul, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said.
