Trump’s strategy has always been to create a problem and then swoop in with a “solution” so he can pretend to be the hero. He hasn’t done that with SNAP benefits, which means the pain is the point, and/or the contingency funds have already been spend elsewhere.

Nixon didn’t go to prison over Watergate, but 48 others were convicted and served time for the scandal - notably, his Attorney General. Attention, Pam Bondi.

Many in Trump’s administration now live on military bases, to shield themselves from the majority of Americans they are screwing over in favor of the oligarchs. Many Republicans won’t do town halls. They avoid the citizenry because they’ve stopped serving them. We deserve much better.

Well, he got his way again... SCOTUS is allowing him to starve people Many of his supporters will also be affected He doesn't care. He doesn't need them anymore What a vile man

There is no emergency SNAP money left. It was stolen for DHS. Prove me wrong.

You can’t call it a Democrat shutdown when Dems are willing to negotiate but Republicans are not.

The animal that sleeps the most is a koala, which sleeps for 18-22 hours each day. Other animals that sleep more than others are the sloth, the opossum, the little brown bat, and Donald Trump in front of the media.

Perfect summary of the narcissist wannabe King Annoyed that someone else is getting attention

Abby Zwerner has been awarded $10M in her civil suit against the vice principal who ignored multiple reports that a student had a gun. Abby deserves more, but the verdict is an important precedent, especially since the school’s lawyer called getting shot a “hazard of the job” for teachers.

It seems a lot of people suddenly realized that part of the “woke agenda” is not sleepwalking your way into fascism.

I love the smell of hope in the morning.

Audit billionaires, not struggling single moms.

I don’t know about you, but every day I’m gobsmacked by how many people are surprised at what’s happening even after Project 2025 put it all in writing.

Mike Johnson at every press conference.

Hello everyone my name is James Scott, I’m a father of 6 wonderful children. A cancer survivor and hardworking Kansan. We deserve representation that reflects our values that is why I am running for the United States Senate to replace Roger Marshal who represents the wealthy. It’s time we invest in

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance. The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income. They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive. Wanna fix fraud and abuse? Fix that.

"exododus" The New York Post: Come for the shameless propaganda, stay for the embarrassing illiteracy.

One of my students asked to take home an extra breakfast for her mom and an extra lunch for her dad, in case you’re wondering how the loss of SNAP benefits is affecting kids.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions "Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Not knowing who or for what reason you’re pardoning people seems like a much bigger scandal than using an autopen.

Healthcare but only for my friends

If you’re ok with vouchers being used for ski trips or piano lessons but not ok with SNAP benefits being used for pizza or cupcakes, it’s not the use of public money you have a problem with. It’s that you think wealthy people deserve perks and poor people deserve to be poor.

The issue isn’t just remodeling the Lincoln bathroom, it’s doing it in all marble, during a shutdown, and posting about it. It’s not about throwing a Halloween party, it’s deciding the theme is Great Gatsby while millions are scared they’re going to starve. Character is the issue

We’re going into Nigeria with “guns-a-blazing” to steal their oil and rare earth minerals, not to save Christians. The broligarchy is insatiable…

Due to the rising cost of everything, Walmart will be changing their store-brand line to Mediocre Value

🧵ICE is detaining US citizens. They are profiling Latinos, going on nothing but their appearance. Many have to provide proof of their citizenship status before getting released. Have we seen this before in America? You betcha! Stay with me, folks. (cont) www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...

Kristi Noem: "No American citizens have been arrested or detained.” Except for the ones that were.

There is more than enough funding for SNAP. The Trump administration is using food insecurity as a political weapon.

Private equity gave $10M to Trump's inauguration. He gave them greater access to Americans' 401(k)s. DuPont and Dow Chemical gave $750K. Trump exempted them from an air pollution rule. Intuit gave $1M. Trump killed the IRS Direct File Program. Everything is for sale.

The same people who think buying junk food with SNAP benefits is “abusing the system” are fine with wealthy parents using vouchers to send their kids to private schools.

It’s not really a ceasefire if you keep firing periodically.

In the land of the king, the 4-eyed man is blind.

This made me tear up. Even our kids know what’s going on isn’t good… youtube.com/shorts/HEIXF...

Karoline Leavitt officially announced the "Launch of a large-scale investigation to find the people behind 'No Kings.'" I've saved her some time.

We are this close to war with Venezuela because the sitting President of the United States is in the Epstein files.

America should be a country where the wealthy feed children and the poor instead of personally funding the war machine.

Every mention of SNAP being frozen should include this simple fact: TRUMP is CHOOSING TO CANCEL FOOD ASSISTANCE. There are literally emergency dollars available to keep SNAP funded.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP. Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP. The people who need help are not the problem. It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Isn't it a dementia issue to think a dementia test is an IQ test? Or is that just stupidity? It's hard to tell at this point.

The President of the United States thinks a test for dementia is an IQ test, and none of his sycophants will tell him he’s wrong. Let that sink in.

Have you heard of corporate feudalism? It’s an economic system where large corporations (oligarchs) control essential resources (donate to “pay” the military), limit workers’ rights, and dominate the markets. The public has only an illusion of choice. Seems relevant.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

This donation pays only for about $100 per service member and is likely a violation of the Antideficiency Act.

Donald Trump hates American farmers and He hates most of Americans. He’s hurting all of us but he doesn’t care because he and his cronies are making millions at our expense. Wake up MAGA. www.rawstory.com/trump-cattle...

We haven’t forgotten, no matter how many distractions you throw our way.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.
