Trump & @SecRollins kicked at least 700 thousand CHILDREN off nutrition assistance—and that’s only counting 7 states.
Today, she refused to tell me whether she stands by her comment that kicking people off food assistance is “good news.”
These people are so cruel.
Rep. Fletcher: The New World screwworm has been found in Texas. This flesh-eating parasite previously eradicated from the U.S. poses a huge threat to our cattle. Last March, the Trump administration fired more than 15,000 USDA employees and eliminated a program to contain the screwworm in Central America. The threat of New World screwworm is just one consequence of the Trump administration's reckless campaign to eliminate funding for government programs that Americans rely on.
Republicans want to know if a mom used SNAP to buy a Coke. I'd rather know why Boeing, Tesla, Amazon, Intel, and ExxonMobil have collected billions in subsidies, tax breaks, and government favors.
The Iranian Foreign Minister conveys from the martyred leader, Sayyid Ali Khamenei:
'I will not go to a shelter or a safe point unless it is available to all the people. Since safe points are not available to everyone, I will remain alongside the people above ground. Any incident that befalls my people will also befall me.' 🇮🇷🖤
A leader binds his fate to the fate of his people... and the earth hides no one. This is the difference between one who rules and one who flees.
Ya'll remember when the US set up a coup operation and kidnapped the President of Venezuela and his wife, stole a shit ton of oil, and then put the money in an offshore account, or have y'all already forgotten with all the other dystopian shit distractions???
Rep. Angie Craig: "Do you know how much money farmers lost last year?"
Brooke Rollins: *doesn't answer*
Craig: "It was $28 billion. You're the Secretary of Agriculture."
More than half of the publicly identified donors to President Trump’s White House ballroom project have won new or expanded federal contracts worth more than $50 billion, according to a report from a government watchdog group. https://t.co/wEAqxMA7AG
Rep. @AngieCraigMN: Do you know how many farms we lost in the US last year?
Trump's Agriculture Secretary: Uh... I know you were talking about bankruptcies, about 315 farms--
Craig: We lost 15,000 farms. Do you know how much money farmers lost? $28B.
Trump's Agriculture Secretary: Well... It depends on how you calculate that.
@tale_wife@ladydigging Interjecting🤷♀️ Didn't know there was such a photo, but the CC isn't all that big and it wasn't wall to wall people. He's rather distinctive looking, and guessing someone at the CC that night would have remembered seeing him and/or interacting in some way; he stands out a bit.
having dinner at a hotel bar the other night struck up a conversation with a mid-level United Healthcare exec. he told me he puts over $300,000 a year on his company credit card just for entertaining clients. In case you’re wondering why you can’t afford health insurance
