             Never in the history of the SNAP program - including during government shutdowns - has SNAP funding ever been suspended or only partially funded. While some funding is better than none, the Trump Administration has the means to FULLY fund this program and is CHOOSING not to.

             INSANE story. Basically a kidnapping. A woman was driving to get coffee when a DHS vehicle fleeing an angry crowd crashed into her. Armed agents jumped out, pulled her by the legs out of her car at gunpoint, held her incommunicado for hours, then released her with no charges. 
           NEWS: Federal agents crashed with woman’s car, pointed guns at her, dragged her out by legs, tossed her in a minivan, held her and (eventually) let her go without charges. This as Chicagoans say the immigration blitz is out of control. (DHS blames her.)  https://t.co/nJNo3TUhOP

             You literally can't make this stuff up. While Trump illegally denied food to 42 million low-income Americans, including 16 million kids, he hosted a lavish "Great Gatsby" party for his billionaire pals at his country club. This is oligarchy at its ugliest. We must fight back.

             42 million people – including veterans and kids – will go hungry because the Trump admin says they’ll only pay partial SNAP benefits this month. Meanwhile, billionaire CEOs get richer by the hour. Tell the admin and their allies in Congress: put working people first!

             Chicago's working class is standing united against Trump's attacks on our communities from ICE raids to healthcare and transit cuts. Ironworkers in Chicago won't stand for this, and join with working people across the city to flex our power and stop the attacks.

             The media industrial complex would have collapsed on itself like a dying star if a Democratic president held a Roaring 20s themed party at a private golf club while millions of working poor in America were about to lose access to food aid but w/Trump it's fucking crickets.

             Democrats must not cave to Trump now. We cannot allow health care premiums to double, 15 million to lose their health insurance and Trump’s authoritarianism to accelerate. To surrender now would be a historic tragedy for our country, something history won’t look kindly upon.

             We're suing the U.S. Department of Education for weaponizing the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program. This administration is trying to illegally cut off loan forgiveness eligibility for organizations and governments based off ideals it doesn't agree with. I'm fighting back.

             “They were careless people… they smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.” - F. Scott Fitzgerald, The Great Gatsby 
           Donald Trump hosted a Great Gatsby party while SNAP benefits were about to disappear for 42 million Americans. He does not give a damn about you.
