The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.
Walz: "They are paying contractors to pay down the East Wing but they're not putting money into the food bank. So if there's a sense of frustration in America, it's very real ... when the White House press secretary said their top priority is the ballroom, we could not disagree more."
I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.
Voters should pick their representatives, not the other way around. Glad to get the chance to talk to some of the volunteers and organizers doing the hard work to make sure Prop 50 passes. This vote will have critical implications, not just for California, but for our entire country.
Why is Apple, Microsoft, Lockheed Martin, Blackstone, Google, OpenAI, Amazon and others financing the destruction of the WH and desecration of the grounds, something that is infuriating to huge chunk of the American population? Do you hate your customers that much?
What do you think made America great?
I’ve traveled the world, and every time I come home, I’m reminded of what makes this place special: the culture, the mix of people, the constant diversity. I love this country.
And I also know who truly hates America:
• The KKK
• 3 Percenters
• Proud Boys

Jeffries: "You've got Leavitt, who's sick, she's out of control. I'm not sure if she's just demented, ignorant, a stone cold liar, or all of the above. But the notion that an official WH spokesperson would say that the D Party consists of 'terrorists, violent criminals & undocumented immigrants'..."
Mind you, we used to have a constitutional democratic republic-- all three, per the Federalist papers. Now, we have a Goddamn dictator & his evil regime who worship NAZIs, call themselves Christians while painting others as being evil. They are projecting! We know they are white supremacists.
"Technologies purchased by ICE in recent weeks include spyware that can hack into smartphones remotely and cellphone location software that can enable the tracking of a phone’s movements without a court warrant..."

This is potentially a massive story. Did DOJ plan for survivors? Do they have sufficient evidence to prosecute? What is US jurisdiction to prosecute? Where will they go next? When is their court date? Will they be indicted? Held at Gitmo? Returned to Venezuela? Be Epsteined?
He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?
Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

"Why doesn't Chicago want us to zip-tie more naked children in the middle of the night and shove them, screaming, into vans? So ungrateful for refusing our kind, helpful offer to help!"
Pamela Jo Bondi
As Hispanic Heritage Month comes to a close, we are proud to recognize and celebrate the diverse cultures that make our state stronger.
I’ll keep fighting to make sure everyone can make it and thrive in Illinois.
"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me

Rep. Nancy Pelosi has had enough of the right wing-lies. As Dems continue to show up to try and make a deal to reopen the government, Pelosi was confronted by a reporter asking about January 6th. Pelosi snapped back telling her to "shut up".
BERNIE: “I worry we are increasingly becoming an oligarchic form of society, where a very small # of people control our economy + have huge influence over both political parties. if there was ever a time to stand up for working families and prevent authoritarianism, this is it.”
AOC: And they are able to radicalize a generation of young boys in particular, away from healthy masculinity and into an insecure masculinity that requires the domination of others who are poorer, browner, darker, or a different gender than them.
Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.
The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.
The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.
Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.
Today and every day, we recognize the hardworking Illinoisans who work around the clock to put food on our tables and carry on our proud agricultural traditions.
Know that we’ll always have your back.
Happy National Farmer’s Day!
Kamala Harris: "Here in Chicago I'm told the helicopters that were descending on an American city were Black Hawks. Do you know what Black Hawks were designed to do? War. So I think everyone can draw their conclusions just based on the facts."
“With your patient and rigorous work, you can act as a barrier against those who, through the ancient art of lying, seek to create divisions in order to rule by dividing,” he said. “You can be a bulwark of civility against the quicksand of approximation and post-truth...”

Pritzker: "If the Constitution means anything -- and I guess we all are questioning that right now -- the Insurrection Act cannot be invoked ... they just want troops on the ground because they want to militarize especially blue cities in blue states."
It says a lot that Trump can find $20 billion to bail out Argentina, but won't help the millions of Americans who are in real need at home.
So much for “America First.”
