Whatever happens with the shutdown and Trump’s slo-mo response to court orders, remember this:
The GOP’s Big Ugly Bill cut $186 Billion from SNAP, a TRILLION from Medicaid, and drastically cut other human needs $$ to fund a massive tax break for billionaires.

House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025

Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

He doesn't care about law. He doesn't care about rules. He doesn't care about the country. He doesn't care about truth. He doesn't care about right or wrong.

He only cares about himself. And most importantly—what he can get away with.

Trump on a third term: "I would love to do it. I have the best numbers ever. Am I not ruling it out? You'll have to tell me."

Look up and contact your local food bank and check their needs. Their cash usually goes further than your cash because they can buy wholesale and in bulk. Even a single can is better than nothing.

THIS WAS LEARNED FROM THOSE IN NEED
SNAP BENEFITS FEEDING 42 MILLION AMERICANS MAY STOP IN NOVEMBER BECAUSE OF THE SHUTDOWN.
1. Boxed Mac & Cheese (common) = useless without milk &
butter (uncommon)
2. Boxed milk is a treasure for cereal-loving kids.
3. Pasta and spaghetti sauce are everywhere.
4. Canned goods help more - IF opener include (or pop tops)
5. Cooking oil is a rare luxury but essential.
6. Spices, salt, and pepper are true gifts.
7. Tea and coffee make people feel cared for.
8. Sugar and flour are treats.
9. Fresh produce brings huge smiles.
10. Seeds are great in warmer months - growing food helps!
11. Fresh meat is rare.
12. Tuna and crackers make an easy lunch.
13. Hamburger Helper needs ground beef to matter.
14. PB & J are common - sandwich bread isn't.
15. Butter or margarine feels like gold.
16. Eggs are a prized commodity.
17. Cake mix & frosting let kids celebrate birthdays.
18. Dish soap is pricey & ALWAYS needed.
19. Feminine hygiene products are a luxury - women often cry
when they get them.
20. Everyone loves Stove Top Stuffing.
THE REGIME COULD AUTHORIZE EMERGENCY FUNDING FOR IT BUT IT'S CHOOSING NOT TO.
PLZ KEEP REPOSTING - WE WILL ALL NEED TO

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

I was at the Minneapolis event. It was very peaceful, well attended, and actually fun! It was encouraging to be around so many who have the same concerns and fears.
For the low price of a few hours of my time, I bought hope... priceless.
