Our President demonstrates once again that he has no interest in benefitting American families. His sole concern is exercising his own personal power.

We also picked up fresh road kill. Still strange to me to see deer rotting along the road. People use to call and let us know they just hit a deer. I remember my dad having to go hunting out of season and him worrying about people who lived in the city.

When they switched to food stamps, my father couldn’t afford them . Not sure of details because I was pretty young, but it was like a discount on food not free. My dad couldn’t afford it so he went hunting a lot.

The cheese was tasty. The powered milk was disgusting 🤢

I remember the “ surplus food” the government gave out before food stamps. The canned meats were pretty horrible.

Listen carefully to the corporate Democrats who slam Zohran Mamdani's proposals on affordability. What you will hear is they offer no bold alternatives. And the reason is simple: Their corporate donors want them to preserve the status quo. That is why they fund their campaigns.

*The president is all powerful and can fire civil servants, impound spending, redirect money and deploy troops despite numerous constitutional and legal restrictions but he can't spend emergency money for food stamps set aside specifically for shutdowns* is all-time amazing messaging.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

This monstrosity, to be joyfully burned down when the time of reckoning comes, was planned by www.mccreryarchitects.com.

Make sure you let them know how you feel about it.

Trump is cutting off food benefits from tens of millions of Americans on November 1.

Even with the government shutdown, there’s a contingency fund that can be tapped to ensure families continue to have food. Trump has decided not to do so.

Trump truly doesn’t care about people.

Amazing work - the food pantries throughout MI-01 will need all of the resources we can muster. Wonder what Bergman is doing. Oh yeah, hanging out in Louisiana.
Not doing a damn thing to help anyone up here while he is on his extended vaca from working in the US House of Reps.

Thank you to my wonderful friends in Michigan's Republican Delegation, and the many other incredible Republicans in Congress, who want to travel with me to celebrate our Historic First 100 Days on Tuesday. It is going be a TREMENDOUS day. I wish everyone could come with me, but this is a crucial week to work on "THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL," which will contain Massive Tax Cuts, Strong Border Security Measures, Major Military Advancements, Dramatic Deregulation, Powerful Spending Reforms, and more! It is much more important that everyone stay in Washington this week to work hard and fast on all of it - IT MUST BE DONE. We will unleash Economic Prosperity, and accelerate into the Golden Age of America. You will be missed, but your work is far too important to take any time off. Thank you for your attention to this matter. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Tomorrow would be a great day for Mike Johnson to swear in Adelita Grijalva so we can find out whether some of these donations from oligarchs and nepo babies to Trump were made because they are in the Epstein files which Trump and House Republicans are hiding from the people.

Northern Michigan peeps! Looking for something to do Thursday afternoon? Join @safeupnorth.bsky.social for an overpass takeover south of Mackinaw City. Traveling to the UP? Keep an eye out for them as you near the Mackinac Bridge, about 6 miles south of it.
