The largest SNAP cuts in history went into effect yesterday, eliminating or drastically cutting food assistance for millions of Americans. And itโs all to pay for more tax cuts that primarily benefit the super-rich. Trickle-down economics isn't just a hoax โ it's cruel.

So Trump can profit off the presidency bc SCOTUS said heโs immune? Who didnโt this self dealing corruption coming ? SCOTUS thinks all republicans should be able to take bribes.

On #LaborDay, we recognize the workers who make so much of our everyday lives possible. And every day, we should have American workers' back by supporting their organized efforts to secure higher wages, good benefits, and safe & dignified workplaces.

Look at this graph. The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened. This is why we must build back union power.

Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare. Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Streetโs greed. Getting big money out of politics. Supporting unions and fighting for higher wages. If Dems want to win back working people, this is the agenda they must support.
