The Admin has the money to fund SNAP benefits for Nov. – and 2 federal judges ordered Trump to spend it.

Instead, he’s threatening to defy a court order to force SNAP recipients, including kids and older Americans, to go hungry. It’s unimaginably cruel. Trump needs to pay out these benefits ASAP.

Trump confirms he is weaponizing hunger
SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden’s disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly “handed” to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

Trump led tyranny requires extraordinary measures and courage if our democracy is to survive.

Kudos to @sfchronicle.com editorial board for endorsing a Yes vote on CA Prop 50.

Today’s the day!

OPINION: "A Democratic-controlled Congress — as Prop 50 attempts to secure — therefore, is one of the few checks and balances left to counter Trump’s authoritarian intentions for California and the nation," writes the Chronicle Editorial board.
Endorsement on California Prop 50: Do the ends justify the means?
“The Republican-controlled Congress has made plain that it intends to enable Trump’s despotic excesses. California can’t afford to stand by and watch,” the Chronicle Editorial Board writes.

Not only was the administration illegally withholding SNAP funding that families need to keep food on the table, they’re also going after local grocery stores who are trying to help keep their neighbors fed.

The cruelty is unfathomable.
crampell.bsky.social Catherine Rampell @crampell.bsky.social · 2d
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

Some beyond ridiculous Sunday testimonials by GOP leaders wanting us to know what a “big-hearted president” we have.

They want us to know that starving children and attacking Americans is hurting him more than it’s hurting us.

America First?

If Prop 50 fails — we’ll never put a check on Trump, who just gave $40 billion to Argentina while raising funds for his gilded ballroom instead of continuing SNAP benefits for struggling Americans.

VOTE #YesOnProp50 and get your ballot in!

He's playing golf, posting photos of the renovated Lincoln bathroom (all marble), building a ballroom, shaking U.S. taxpayers down for a $230M payment from the DOJ, requesting TWO private jets for Kristi Noem, awarding drone motor contracts to his son's company, etc. DJT is living high off of us.

While his numbers tank, Trump seeks approval from his base by remodeling the Lincoln bathroom with gold fixtures.

We voted #YESCA50.

Doing the right thing by not voting YES in the face of GOP gerrymandering and their support of Trump’s authoritarian takeover doesn’t work.

We voted YES on California Prop 50. Across the country the GOP wants to stuff the ballot boxes and block our votes. We say No!

I 💙 watching the Little Locomotive 🚂 Alejandro Kirk, the Pride of Tijuana.

Only thing spoiling the game was listening to Fox TV 📺 announcers Joe Davis and John Smoltz!
