The Senate voted to repeal the Caesar Act as Syria struggles to rebuild. Years of crushing sanctions have blocked reconstruction and humanitarian aid. Lifting these restrictions is essential for Syria's recovery and its people's survival.

Even among employed adults, those with disabilities are nearly twice as likely to receive SNAP benefits. Working shouldn't mean going hungry—yet disabled workers face compounding challenges that make food assistance essential for survival.

When a president calls US military actions "murder" and gets hit with tariffs for it, we should all be paying attention. 60+ civilians killed off the coasts of Colombia & Venezuela. Join the conversation that US media isn't having. https://t.co/whJGLvOoaX

Disabled adults rely on SNAP at more than double the rate of those without disabilities (20.4% vs 8.3%). The gap reflects persistent economic barriers that make it harder for people with disabilities to meet basic needs without support.

Gov-granted monopolies, patent protections, and corporate bailouts funnel trillions upward from average Americans to wealthy elites. Calling this a "free market" is a lie—we're living under monopoly capitalism. and it sucks for working people. https://t.co/6Rtom74dxL

The notion that economic policy over recent decades was about leaving things to the market is a sick lie that obscures the real drivers of inequality.

Iran withdraws from the nuclear deal as snapback sanctions begin to take effect. The escalating restrictions are pushing the region toward renewed crisis. Diplomatic pathways are closing fast. The human cost continues to mount.

Disabled adults make up 25% of SNAP recipients—nearly 2X their share in the overall population. Yet conservatives pushing SNAP cuts rarely mention this. Cutting food assistance means denying disabled people access to basic necessities. https://t.co/SI1zeG4Utc

Corporate execs making millions as folks in the US are forced to pay more for Rx and copays? This isn’t the effect of a ‘free market’—it’s more like monopoly control. @deanbaker13 calls out the lies in @nytimes column by neoliberal acolyte @Sven_Beckert: https://t.co/6Rtom74dxL

America doesn’t have a better healthcare system--it just has a more expensive one than peer countries. @deanbaker13 explains why the US will spend $5.4 trillion on healthcare in 2025, roughly $40,000 per household, while other countries receive superior care for far less.

"[M]ilitary action against Venezuela is extremely unpopular with the American people" Regime change war in Venezuela "would destabilize the region further, worsen violence and criminal activity, and fuel new migration crises, as we have seen in places like Iraq and Libya"

New SNAP work requirements take effect this week amid the shutdown. Evidence shows these requirements balloon costs and deny help to people who need it—without increasing employment. The result? Greater hardship, not more jobs. More from @hayleycbbrown:

While Republicans like to blame #Obamacare for rising healthcare costs in the US, the exact opposite is true. Since 2010, Obamacare has nearly halved the growth of healthcare spending as a share of GDP, saving the US a whopping $1.4 trillion a year.

@RepPressley @PattyMurray @SenDuckworth @SenSanders 4/4: Nearly 12% of employed disabled adults need SNAP vs 6% without disabilities. Even work doesn't close the gap. Using food as political leverage to push work requirements? That's cruelty disguised as policy.

@RepPressley @PattyMurray @SenDuckworth @SenSanders 3/4: Disabled adults rely on SNAP at more than double the rate of others (20.4% vs 8.3%). Restricting benefits during a shutdown isn't governing—it's weaponizing hunger against vulnerable people.
