Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

I think it’s time to look forward to how much we’ve got to do to demolish the Trump/maga legacy and rebuild a good, functional America. It’s going to be hard work but fun to restore our country. I vote the first step is to make Maralago a migrant retreat and step two restores the East Wing.

"Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer." That's who ICE arrested and disappeared as part of Donald Trump's immigration policy. It's outrageous. I've been pressing for answers and I'll keep pushing for accountability.

Speak up for free speech. Speak up for free press. Speak up for the freedom of comedians to critique and to call out wrongs. Resist anyone in government who tries to control the media. No excuse or blaming or demonizing is adequate- it’s the road to the end of democracy.

America has lost the lead in 57/64 key technologies. Meanwhile, we’re defunding universities and keeping the brightest from coming here for school/work. Even if your concern is the American economy, military, and American supremacy, this is pretty stupid. Maybe stop trying to mine coal again.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
