The problem is this: #Federal grants allow states to *refuse the money*, and thereby refuse to implement the programs. See, for example, the #aca, #medicare subsidies, #covid payouts, the list of benefits the #GOP has refused to give its poorest citizens is legendary, and I posit, criminal.

So while I totally support CA Rep #Torres and her cosponsors, I put it to you, as a woman who has spent untold dollars to support local Texas teenagers who couldn't get abortions, where is the legislation that demands the GOP spend the money that #Congress allocates?

Hunger in a country where people have yachts inside their other yachts is a moral failure of society, of culture, of humanity. We cannot allow this to continue. Children are hungry. What the fuck is wrong with us? We are good people, being controlled by evil. It's time to let the good burn the darkness back to where it belongs.

Interesting… some people have no issue with leaving written evidence of the kind of a****le they are. 🙄

Ich war zu Gast im beyond economy Podcast von Michael Schwienbacher

Wir haben über meine Bücher gesprochen und warum es höchste Zeit ist, den Dystopien den Rücken zu kehren und anti-dystopische Narrative zu schaffen.

I know when they say "You can't go home again" it's because "home" is as much a time as a place.

I was born and raised in Denver and lived here almost all my life.

But this trip back I've seen more un-housed people than I remember ever seeing before.

Some friends who still live here told me the mayor of Denver ran them all out of downtown Denver so now they're the suburbs problem for awhile.

Winter's coming. Forcing them on another town solves nothing.

@Rycaut Shannon, that Kamala/Oprah live stream was unbelievable. This movement is gathering steam like nothing any of us have ever seen in U.S. politics. Let TFG do his garbled, hateful softball phone interviews on Twitter/X/Bird/Dog with Musk, #Harris can being in the real pros like Oprah to send a clear message to voters. She (Winfrey) is targeting her message right at Independent and undecideds. “Now is the moment.”

Yes, it is, #Oprah, yes it is.

“Honestly, there needs to be more of this"-Premier Moe

Everything that is wrong in #skpoli and #cdnpolitics: Smears, innuendo, threats of violence, and crackpot conspiracy theories.

What's missing: policy, vision, and actual governing.

#skpoli #wecandobetter

Meet some of your @CPC_HQ MP's, #Sask

Two, @BradRedekopp and @KevinWaugh_CPC, can't stop spewing racist comments towards FN peoples

The next, @ctochor, sole achievement is trying to bring back plastic straws

And, @MichaelKramSK, who spends more time covering his tracks on SM then legislating.

Is this the best we can do?

We can do better, Saskatchewan!

#skpoli #wecandobetter

This is your ruling @SaskParty gov.

Would you trust them with the keys to your house?

Then why trust them to serve your public interest?

Folks, #wecandobetter

#skpoli #sask

"He was so angry, the [nail] technician told me 'We're done, come back tomorrow. You go get your kids out.' We left. For my safety, I ran."

I am issuing a challenge to all in #sask to step up and do their part. No one should have to live in fear.

WE CAN DO BETTER!!!

#skpoli #wecandobetter

Freedom @PremierScottMoe
style.

This is what the @SaskParty
gov has been reduced to, hiding from the very folks they pretend to lead then make up stories about tens of thousands of letters supporting their flawed policy.

Folks #wecandobetter

#skpoli #sask

So it appears that the #Tories have managed to find a PM that is #Johnson & #Truss combined in #Sunak. He is a #liar like Johnson & #incompetent like #Truss...AND they still don't like him? I wonder why that could be???

Northern Ireland we have another option...let's talk about taking it?

Firsthand account of the state of the #healthcare system in #Sask

This is where @saskparty stewardship has led us.

This is our #reality

Folks, #wecandobetter

#skpoli #LeadershipMatters

This is the true legacy of 16 years of @SaskParty rule in #Saskatchewan

Literally worse off physically and financially.

Enough is enough. Folks, #wecandobetter

"The forecast clearly demonstrates the need to be prudent and manage spending carefully"-Finance Min

While the @SaskParty gov:

▪️overspends by $408M
▪️jacks up utility rates to cover losses
▪️Increases PST by $150M
▪️raises debt to $30.9B

Prudence and careful management?

"Do I choose to put food in my kids' belly and a roof over their head, or spend $200 on supplies for my kids?"

School is back and more expansive for folks in #sask than ever.

Yet, the @SaskParty gov is more focused on taking human rights away from students.

This change from @SKGov
(pic 1) today is not just wrong, it is dangerous. Studies (pic 2) show huge decreases in depression and suicides by students able to choose what they will be called in schools.

Will our leaders listen to those this actually affects?

@doctorwhom keep us updated.

As a kid growing up in Camden (& around South Jersey) I thought public transport was The Way, but I was just "missing it".

Decades later as an adult, I'm realizing that in spite of (because of?) all our technical advancements as a society, that's *still* only theory, and I live within 50mi of Philly.

#WeCanDoBetter

More job losses for #sask and the stagnation is nothing new:

"In 2022 SK had 581,500 people employed, which was up 0.8% from 576.9k people working in 2019, before the pandemic. That puts SK at the back of the pack for growth"

Growth that works for the few...

"We might have just seen half this year’s budget surplus vanish in a year to help drought-stricken farmers and ranchers, deal with overcrowded classrooms, closed emergency rooms and growing problems of homelessness and addiction."

In short, our gov needs to actually govern.

#skpoli #Sask #accountabilitysk #wecandobetter

Let's rephrase:

The
@SaskParty
has had 16 years to put their stamp on #sask. The result is crumbling #healthcare and #ed, tax increases, an economy that only benefits the few, #addictions #mentalheath crises, and massive waste of taxpayers $$

It's been long enough...

#skpoli #wecandobetter

"Three of the province’s five regions [in 2023] have actually seen decreases in the number of people [employed]."

Clearly many are being left behind.

Growth that works for everyone? Not even close.
