5 million Americans losing SNAP nutrition assistance wasn't enough for Trump.
Now they want to kick another 6 million off of SNAP.
All while food prices keep going up because of Trump's broken policies.
Just plain wrong.

The voters aren't a conspiracy, and their ballots aren't "dumps." You didn't lose to an algorithm. You lost to American citizens who rejected your nonsense.
Pack it up.

🚨 Gavin Newsom isn’t mincing words:
“Trump owes families their money back. $1,751 per household.”
Trump illegally taxed working Americans through tariffs.
Took hundreds of billions. Got caught.
Got ruled against.
Now he needs to return every dollar.
No excuses. No delays.

Premiums skyrocketed. Medicaid got cut. Rural hospitals closed.
All thanks to a bill Republicans called “beautiful.”
Democrats are going to fight to repeal the cuts and make health care affordable.

BREAKING: Trump's admin announced they plan to cut food assistance for 6.3 million more Americans.
Let's be clear: this is completely voluntary.
Americans spoke out against the cruelty of this admin and instead of listening, they doubled down on making life harder.

It hasn’t even been a week since the American people delivered a historic repudiation of MAGA’s politics of cruelty, and this administration is already doubling down on its heartlessness toward families struggling to get by in Trump’s economy.
Republicans kicked more than 5 million Americans off nutrition assistance in their Big Ugly Bill—and the worst cuts haven’t even hit yet. Now, Trump wants to rip food assistance away from ANOTHER 6.3 million people.
More children will go to bed hungry in the richest country in history. It’s morally unconscionable. And I’ll fight like hell to stop it.

Todd Blanche was Donald Trump’s personal lawyer, and as Attorney General of the United States, he’s still acting like it. Blanche should be defending the Constitution, not threatening our Committee for doing our jobs.
We will not be intimidated.

You know something is fishy when a President's 20 year old son, who is an unemployed college student, makes $150 million in less than a year.

Raise your hand if you want to finally see Jack Smith bring formal charges against Donald Trump for J6, now that we have control over both houses? ✋

Americans are loud and clear: Not one more cent toward the illegal Iran war.
When I put forth an amendment to the defense bill that would halt funding from this war, Republicans blocked it.
Once the Senate returns, it’s time for them to reconsider.

Todd Blanche actually said that he was not going to release any depiction of death or torture in the Epstein files which means he has seen evidence of death and torture for that alone. He needs to be impeached.
