I realize it's a bit tiresome to point this sort of thing out, but preserving SNAP benefits for 6.3 million Americans would cost just 0.6% of Trump's proposed $1.5 trillion annual military budget.

If you’ve seen this image from the film American Doctor — the man on the left, Palestinian surgeon Dr. Rizk Abu Shaaira, was killed in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza’s Nasser Medical Complex Wednesday.

the degree to which this is just an earth-toned reboot of John Stossel/CATO's whole schtick is impressive. It's beat for beat, right down to finding a handful of overly fussy govt regulations and using this as a ideological bait-and-switch for a rightwing deregulatory agenda.

“By 2034, more than 5 million low-income people in 44 states & DC will lose Medicaid coverage because of the work rules, according to the Congressional Budget Office. Many will fall off by missing filing deadlines and failing to navigate red tape…”

Even if Trump would sign m4a as “Trumpcare”, which as Bernie said is not impossible- the party of Hakeem Jeffries and Chuck Schumer will never pass it.
Abdul El-Sayed on why he would be willing to call it "Trumpcare-for-All" if it meant Trump would sign it:
"Donald, if you're watching, we can put your name on it. I know you like to put your name on stuff. You can finally meet the unmet promise in America to guarantee everybody health care. So, it's on the table if you want to do it."
Commit this little apology speech to memory bc you will be hearing different versions of it over the next 2 years as democrats repeatedly explain why, for procedural reasons, they cannot and will not do what they were elected to do.

Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Cmte, says “we can end Trump’s war with iran, but not with the snap of our fingers.”
Congress could in fact end the war with one line in the CR. Murray is suggesting here she intends to fund the war into 2027.

Democrats fail to call for a recorded vote and GOP passes its bill that cuts veteran disability benefits and forces veterans to pay more to use VA home loan benefits … on Veterans Day
This is the type of thing that would ideally be paid attention to and handled by party leadership. In this case, that would be Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Whip Katherine Clark.
This is less than 24 hours after they failed to whip members on a vote to impeach Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, which failed by a 210-204 vote margin with 11 absent Dem members.

Spain was ground zero for the financial takeover of housing--so it's no coincidence that it's where housing uprising is most clearly and powerfully emerging in a national-scale, mass form. Solidarity with the general strike.

Starving people out as an election revenge strategy.
The Trump administration on Tuesday moved to kick millions of people from SNAP — commonly known as food stamps — and other government assistance programs for vulnerable families, according to a new proposed rule by the U.S. Department of Agriculture. abcnews.link/mo0txuY

Democratic leaders watched the election results, then immediately started thinking of ways to impede the anti-war and anti-corruption mandate they were just given.

Katherine Clark is the Democratic Whip in the House, and it is thus her responsibility to ensure members are there to vote.
Clark is also a founding member of EDW, which hosted an event tonight from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, overlapping with the 5:30pm vote on the Hegseth impeachment.
Of the 11 members who missed the Hegseth vote, 8 have received support from EDW or its AIPAC-tied super PAC EDW Action. Of those 8, two are sitting board members.
