I see so many people asking what they can do: VOTE WITH YOUR DOLLAR. It’s literally the easiest form of protest. GET COMFORTABLE WITH DISCOMFORT. In general, too many US citizens would rather not be inconvenienced. Tearing down fascism is going to take effort. We must save ourselves.

The SNAP contingency fund holds around $6 billion. Trump refuses to spend it on the American people. The same guy who just fast-tracked $40 billion to Argentina. Trump thinks Argentina deserves our money while he lets Americans starve.

In Opinion Dick Cheney became a fierce critic of Donald Trump after the Capitol insurrection — but by then, it was too late, Ron Suskind writes. “Mr. Cheney had done as much as anyone in history to undermine Americans’ trust in their institutions and leaders, including Mr. Cheney himself.”

White House scrambles to limit fallout of Trump threats to withhold SNAP food aid benefits
The White House just sent a raft of shutdown talking points to Hill Republicans, as the GOP scrambles to limit the fallout of President Donald Trump’s threats earlier Tuesday to withhold SNAP food aid benefits from low-income families unless Democrats agree to reopen the government. Trump’s threat shocked Republicans and came just a day after Speaker Mike Johnson specifically said Trump “isn’t appealing the decision” from the courts that would force the administration to disburse SNAP assistance amid the shutdown. “We all were like ‘what the fuck is this?’” said one senior Senate GOP aide, granted anonymity to speak candidly, noting the appearance that Trump was defying a court order just hours after his own administration sent out guidance for states to receive partial SNAP food aid benefits following a court order. The list of talking points sent to congressional Republicans from the White House Office of Legislative Affairs includes an exchange from Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt’s briefing Tuesday afternoon, with the following in bold: “No, the administration is fully complying with the court order.”

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.

He wants to kill Obamacare, but has no other plan. He is not satisfied with his deportation operation because his ICE agents are not abusive enough. He plans to continue murdering people in the Caribbean Sea because the law and these humans are of no concern to him. All this thanks to John Roberts.

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.
