This is a CHOICE made by Republicans.

A CHOICE to punish American workers.

Obama: As for the president, he has been focused on critical issues like paving over the rose garden so folks don't get mud on their shoes and gold plating the Oval Office and building a ballroom… If you can't visit a doctor, don't worry. He will save you a dance.

“I never thought I'd see anything like that, in the United States of America in 2025.”

Watch as Illinois State Rep. Hoan Huynh, once a refugee from Vietnam, describes the chilling parallels between authoritarian tactics he fled, and ICE’s new operation “Midway Blitz.”

A breakdown of how SNAP benefits are interdependent with the economy.

Remember: they're lying that the funds have dried up. They have contingency funds.

And recall, SNAP is 1.5% of the federal budget.

They're starving people as a political blackmail. (Netanyahu probably taught them the trick).
Watch the whole thing... No wonder Kat ended it. Ask some OTHER questions already.

No different than Nazis in 1930s Germany, officials in the fascist authoritarian Trump regime — including Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio and Kristi Noem — are living on military bases and American taxpayers are footing the bill for these fascist grifters. 😡 tinyurl.com/mwbpm966
Top Trump Officials Are Moving Onto Military Bases
Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Kristi Noem, and others have taken over homes that until recently housed senior officers.

Trump's approval ratings are already tanking, and the American people haven't even gotten to the part where they pay enormous costs for his stupidity.

"[Not using the funding already allocated to keep SNAP going] is a decision the president is making--on his own--to allow people to go hungry."
Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"
