40% more kids are eating breakfast and 15% more are eating lunch since we launched free school meals in Minnesota.
Now we’re making sure 100% of kids eat their broccoli.

It doesn’t have to run out of money. End income caps on contributions et voila! Suddenly the money appears! Shocking that.

Just a reminder, my husband once said to his Republican SIL “Everyone deserves to make a living” and she replied “Not really”. They really believe this.

BASH: One of the things that's happening is there's a push to start students down a trade school track as early as elementary school. Is that too early?
LINDA McMAHON: I don't think so
BASH: But elementary school?

When I was very young, my mom got food stamps for us. She says it was some of the hardest paperwork to figure out. Later, my mom’s job was helping hospital patients get the care covered by Medicare/Medicaid. Think about a person doing that & then saying getting food stamps is exponentially harder.
Stephen Miller: “We don’t check…” and “if you say your kids are hungry, you are going to get food stamps.”
That’s a lie!
SNAP applicants have to verify identity, income, household size, and citizenship or immigration status. Fraud rates are historically low.

Deploying ICE at airports is to normalize their transition from being a special operation targeting immigrants to being an entity that polices all.
This is the production of the American Gestapo, one institution at a time.

Let’s stop softening the language. The pregnant detainees in the Texas ICE camp are children.
They are not “young women.” They are minors.
If pregnancies occurred while they were detained, every ICE officer must be investigated for child sexual assault.
These children must be freed.
