Pretty big “error” to make, especially after Donald Trump outright said he would defy a court order and refuse to pay these benefits. The crooks in the Trump administration are blocking SNAP benefits for kids, seniors, and veterans every way they can. It’s sick.
Massive health care cuts. Catastrophic tariffs raising the prices of everything. A weaker economy and tougher job market for American workers. This is unleashing the Golden Age?
🚨 CNBC: "Announced corporate job cuts surging past 1 million so far this year, with 153,000 new layoffs just in October according to Challenger. That is the worst October since 2003."
Federal workers—including furloughed workers—are entitled to backpay after the shutdown ends. That is the LAW. Trump and his administration of crooks saying anything otherwise are LYING to try and scare and intimidate federal workers.
Today marks the longest government shutdown in history.   Republicans need to understand EVERYONE is being hurt because of the shutdown they've caused.   And we need to work together to lower health care costs for ALL Americans NOW!
We all need to keep up the pressure and demand that Trump follows the law and gets SNAP benefits to the millions of families and kids that are counting on them to put food on the table.
Everyone can see there's no strategy behind Trump’s tariffs—and every American is being forced to pay the price. I hope SCOTUS recognizes the shoddy legal ground these tariffs stand on and rules accordingly, but either way, Republicans should help Democrats end Trump’s tariffs.
Grocery bills are rising and premiums are doubling as Trump gilds his office in gold and bulldozes the East Wing for a fancy ballroom—and Republican lawmakers are doing NOTHING.
I voted NO on Eric Tung for the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which covers Washington state. He's spent his career attacking workers' rights, reproductive rights, environmental laws, and voting rights—and embracing dangerous fringe theories. Republicans confirmed him anyway.
Americans want sane, stable leadership that is focused on lowering the cost of living. People are already fed up with the chaos and corruption of the Trump administration. Republicans should LISTEN and work with us to reopen government and save the ACA tax credits.
4 out of 5 people who rely on the ACA tax credits live in states that Trump won. And over 80 percent of the people who will end up uninsured if these expire are in Trump states! This is a MAGA health care hike, yet Trump won't lift a finger to save your health care.
Trump is throwing a blow-out Gatsby party down in Mar-a-Lago & pardoning people who helped terrorists launder money—all while REFUSING to work on reopening the government and actively CHOOSING to break the law and ignore the courts to force 42 million Americans to go hungry.
Millions of Americans are seeing their health care premiums double—or worse—and Republican leaders are STILL refusing to act. Democrats will not let Republicans ignore this health care crisis.
Paying furloughed federal workers is not up for "discussion." It is law. Plain and simple.
Q: Does the administration guarantee that all furloughed federal workers will get back pay? LEAVITT: This is something we are very much open to discussing with Democrats as part of the discussions about the continuing resolution (That's not a yes!)
The President who threw a Gatsby-themed party the night before he cut off SNAP benefits is now vowing to break a court order so that he can force millions of children, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. It's sickening. I won't stand for it. Time to speak up and push back.
Johnson won't talk about the Republican health care plan—not because it's secret, but because it doesn't exist.
Mike Johnson talks about the Republican "healthcare plan" like it's highly classified information: "We're not gonna be on a conference call explaining all our plans and strategies for healthcare reform, because they're leaked in real time."
🚨UPDATE ON SNAP: Millions of Americans are getting their benefits LATE and only partial benefits.   TWO federal judges made it clear that SNAP should be funded and forced Trump to make a partial payment using an emergency fund, but we need him to pay the FULL benefits.
Trump's tariffs are driving up the cost of everything, especially groceries. But the President doesn't have a clue, maybe because he's too busy throwing obscene Gatsby-themed parties while he denies millions of families SNAP benefits.
O'DONNELL: The stock market doesn't affect everybody. Not everybody is invested in the stock market TRUMP: It does O'DONNELL: But grocery prices are up TRUMP: No. 401ks. People have 401ks.
Why does the President have zero clue about one of the most corrupt pardons he's made so far?   Donald Trump is a crook, whether he knows it or not.
O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it
