"The amount needed among all 44 million people facing hunger in 2022 hit a record high of $33.1 billion."
We could feed America's food insecure for more than 4 years with this money.

Tim Walz on DHS officers who shot Minnesotans: "We're gonna bring them back and hold them accountable for what they did"
"From a legal standpoint, this indictment is crap. From a political standpoint, it’s an effort to avenge the KKK and enshrine white supremacy in America. Both should be dismissed with prejudice." — @lizdye.bsky.social
Nothing to worry about, just the Heritage Foundation publishing an article on how the Republican Congress can refuse to seat Democrats www.heritage.org/election-int...
BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS: At least 17 people have already died in ICE custody this year. This is state-sanctioned violence, not 'immigration enforcement.' We need to defund & abolish ICE NOW. Our immigrant siblings deserve dignity, safety & freedom. Stand up and demand justice.
Ossoff: "When you throw people off their health insurance and drive up their premiums and gut the Medicaid program in order to cut taxes for the wealthiest people in the country, that's also corruption. That's the corruption that's endemic in our political system and predates Trump."
Data centers have contaminated ground water in Oregon.
They've released smog into the air in Memphis.
And they've contributed to electricity bill spikes — all while receiving millions of dollars in tax breaks.
Is it any wonder why a nationwide backlash against AI data centers is brewing?
And on the 7th day felonious Pedolf said:
"Fuck you all, I’ve got a tee off time at the golf course"
The recent Chinese over-performance in GDP was driven by huge government investment in infrastructure -- enough to overcome soft consumer and housing markets.
Meanwhile, US spending on non-AI infrastructure actually went DOWN last year. We're sleepwalking off a cliff for no good reason.
US DOT's new "Freedom to Drive Initiative" focuses on addressing congestion by:
—"Building new roadway capacity"
—"Recover[ing] roadway capacity from other purposes [e.g., biking & transit] to support driving"
[There is no evidence that either of these strategies work to address congestion.]
I would like a Secretary of Defense who has read one (1) book on the history of warfare; preferably one that discusses the impact of disease on armies.
Send this to anyone in Tennessee who cares about public schools.
This is who voted to send $300,000,000 per year to kids already in private schools.

A hundred years ago, the U.S. had a nationwide network of short-line railroads that connected most urban and rural communities. By the 1940s, most of it had been dismantled ... by the barons of the auto and oil industries. 😑

Excited to share some good news for Illinois families — we’ve reached over 100,000 children in our state receiving books from Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library.

mRNA vaccines continue to show major promise.
In a small Phase 1 trial led by Dr. Balachandran, some patients with pancreatic cancer (one of the deadliest cancers) reached 6-year survival.
This is why sustained investment in science & research matters.

Turns out the phrase “America First” is preceded by the words “Sell Out.”
well... THAT's pretty eye opening, actually, Mike, to just say it out loud like that.
Did that sound different in your head?

OPINION: "Donald Trump’s presidency is a morality lesson. He is a living example of what happens when a man is given power that far exceeds his character." thehill.com/opinion/whit...
We already have an unscrupulous cult posing as a major political party that will do anything at any time for power and to enrich itself—including sell out our country and its values.
Is it so insane to believe that the other major political party should stand up and say, “Stop”?
