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.

The Department of Energy hired five academics to raise doubts about climate change. 85+ climate experts (organized by @andrewdessler.com) reviewed their report. Our conclusion, detailed in 450 pages of analysis: it is biased, full of errors, and not fit to inform policy making.

BEGGING. Be involved at local & state levels. So much of what we see at the national level starts at school boards, council chambers & state houses. But state & local is where your voice is loudest and most effective. And where we are more likely to put a stop to this stuff before it gets to SCOTUS
