Unbelievable! 😢 www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

I’ve never seen an American elected official fight so hard to starve people.

Let this sink in. The President of the United States is now appealing a court order forcing him to feed starving children.

The 🍊💩wants a military "at his boots" (even if he has never worn boots). Because he's fascinated by Putin and NK's Kim whatever, and by Hitler.

“On top of refusing to fully fund SNAP during the shutdown, the Trump regime: Cut $1 BILLION from USDA programs supporting food banks Enacted tariffs that caused food prices to rise Made the largest cut to SNAP in history Canceled the annual food security survey Shameful.” @rbreich.bsky.social

Next time, kick higher.

New — While some states have received SNAP benefits for November and USDA is supposedly pushing through all federal payments soon, that doesn’t erase the psychological terror of the last few weeks. I spoke with 20+ SNAP recipients in 16 states about preparing for a possible future with no food:

WTAF.

Several states (including California, Michigan, Oregon, and Wisconsin) have announced that they’ve begun processing full food stamp payments. Thank you to those states for stepping up to support families in need!

'That guy doesn't care': MSNBC host calls out Trump's indifference after executive faints

REP. CROW: “Trump actually has the money to feed these families. Congress appropriated $6 billion to put towards SNAP Trump has decided he does not want to spend because he is trying to weaponize hunger... How sick & grotesque is that?”

Republican politicians can commit all the crimes they want and victimize as many people as they want because right after they are convicted Trump pardons every single one of them. Every Republican politician is above the law and can do whatever they want. Total immunity.

When you desperately want to starve Americans:

More amazing news! In a historic move, New Mexico just became the first state in America to guarantee free, universal child care for all residents. 🩵 Families win, kids thrive, and the economy grows. Now let’s get the entire U.S. to follow suit.

A milestone: the court order in Chicago today potentially checks America's slide to a secret police state. For the first time, ICE and CBP agents are ordered to wear clear identification: badge numbers or names. Either they comply or this becomes THE issue in which the battle for democracy.

BREAKING: A federal judge has ordered the government to pay out all the SNAP benefits it normally would this month, despite the ongoing shutdown.

"Having somebody hungry and worried about feeding their own children is an enormous amount of stress." For domestic workers who count on SNAP, Trump's shutdown is hitting hard.
