Tim Cook is gay, worth billions & CEO of Apple. When he says he's "not political," what he means is that his money has built a wall so high that none of the legislation, discrimination or violence aimed at people like him can touch him. That's not neutrality it's the luxury of not having to care.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person. The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person. People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives. And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Chuck Schumer’s deal makes sense to me. If accepted, the House would have to come back into session to vote, and that means Adelita Grijalva being sworn in and the Epstein files coming out. John Thune probably rejected this compromise solely for fear of this occurring.
