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

The brutal truth is that Ashli Babbitt thought the Capitol Police wouldn't shoot a white woman. Because everything in her life experience, up to that point, taught her that she was exempt from lethal force by law enforcement. That turned out to be an inaccurate assessment.

Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who chose to break into an unauthorized area during an insurrection against the repeated warnings of law enforcement. She ignored those warnings and got killed through no one's fault but her own. She was a traitor. She doesn't deserve full military honors.
