There they go again, ripping away your health care and food assistance in order to enrich billionaire donors — and now literally going home for the summer rather than address rising costs or release the Epstein files. Shameful. Sinful. Stay at work and #CancelCutsToMedicaid -NP

Millions of Americans are about to see their premiums practically double overnight. All so Trump’s billionaire buddies could get another tax cut. Congress must step in to fix this NOW.

Did you know that The Black Panther Party delivered food to housebound people as part of their Survival Pending Revolution program? We should follow their lead and organize community delivery services instead of villainizing an entire marginalized group
