"Trump officials have insisted they don’t have the authority to use a $5 billion contingency fund and don’t have enough money to pay for the nearly $8 billion required for November SNAP benefits."
They have the funds; they don't want us fed.

From 1619 to 1865, the US benefited from over 222 million hours of unpaid, dehumanizing, forced labor by enslaved black people per scholars. This labor- primarily the production of tobacco, rice, sugar, and cotton- would be valued at over $97 trillion today. Built off the backs.

I’m sure someone is probably fact-checking the debate… maybe… perhaps. But who’s gonna call out the dog whistles and white nonsense?

Lets Blackcheck the debate

[Jemele Hill @jemelehill]

Maybe they should explain to their “angry customers” that a Black man named Nearest Green taught Jack Daniel the whiskey game and gave him the recipe that created his billion dollar empire.

So the “DEI hire” was actually Jack Daniel.

Anyway, make sure y’all buy Uncle Nearest whiskey!

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

Dr. Fauci & NIAID staff knew I'd have questions about an $8.9 million grant they doled out in a quid pro quo scenario. That's why they destroyed evidence & avoided FOIA requests.

Sign to help ensure they're all prosecuted for destroying evidence & evading public scrutiny. ⬇️

If Minnesota governor Tim Walz became vice president, it would make history, but in a way people might not be thinking about. Lieutenant governor Peggy Flanagan would become the first Native woman to hold the office of governor in the history of the United States.

Last night, Vice President Harris called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

Her words left us feeling hopeful about the possibility of a permanent ceasefire and the restoration of humanitarian and medical aid to Palestinians who are now facing famine conditions.

🚨 Biden just announced a historic plan to cap rental costs nationwide @ 5% for landlords with 50+ units! 🚨

This victory is thanks to tenants organizing, fighting, and winning to protect their homes! Let's keep going to build renter power!

Text HOUSING to 25463 to take action!

[Popular Democracy in Action @popdemocaction]

For years, we've been telling leaders and politicians that the rent is too damn high. And today, they've listened.

@POTUS' 5% rent cap plan will be a lifeline for working-class families. We are ready to work + get the plan across the finish line.

Trump’s attempts to demonize immigrants are yet another clear example of his racism.

Make no mistake: if Trump is elected, he will follow through with the criminal and inhumane proposals to round up immigrants and put them in concentration camps. @CNN #CPDdebate

[Popular Democracy in Action @popdemocaction]

We agree with president Biden - we support Roe v. Wade! Let’s work to restore crucial reproductive rights and safeguard the right to an abortion. #CPDdebate

[Popular Democracy in Action @popdemocaction]

Voters are sick of SCOTUS flopping on fundamental rights. We need to expand the court to 13 justices. #CPDdebate @CNN

We’re in trouble, y’all.

[Analilia Mejia @Analilia_Mejia]

@HillaryClinton @JoeBiden @TheDemocrats 1st takeaway: Renters are more diverse and progressive than homeowners. Biden is losing to Trump among all voters (-4%). But among renters, Biden is up +10%. And there is room for growth with 21% of renters either undecided or voting for a third party candidate.

[Defend the Atlanta Forest/Stop Cop City @defendATLforest]

🚨 new article exposes Atlanta police for following Cop City activists, shining lights in their homes, parking outside their houses, engaging in round-the-clock intimidation for months. In 1 instance, a lit road flare was placed outside an activists home! https://t.co/L3R1zIRMze

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

My housing plan goes to work for renters.

My Administration is standing up to big landlords who price-fix to drive up rent, and we're going after unfair rental junk fees like the ones you're charged just to move in to an apartment.
