Here are the senators to kick out for the next senate primaries. They successfully negotiated nothing. Oh, and Schumer, whose lack of leadership let this happen.

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.
