The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure it’s covered in the event of a shutdown.

They’re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

it's time for journos to start asking Johnson meta questions

"Speaker, on 5 occasions last week you said 'I haven't seen it' when asked about news events w/big implications for public policy. Do you ever read the news, and do you agree it's problematic for the Speaker to be so woefully uninformed?"

Brett Kavanaugh's behavior during today's second oral arguments has been incredibly obnoxious and rude. He is so eager to kill a service member's lawsuit against a negligent government contractor that he keeps interrupting other justices, raising his voice, and getting emotional. Weird and erratic.

The Great Gatsby examines how the pursuit of wealth can lead to moral decay. The novel was very prophetic. The Great Depression was soon to happen. Betting that dementia don never read it.

Republicans slashed SNAP and Medicaid in their Big Ugly Bill so they could hand out tax breaks to the wealthiest people in our country, but now refuse to extend health care tax credits so working Americans can afford their health care.

Talk about having the wrong priorities.

In an era when history is being whitewashed, we have a responsibility to speak out. We have a moral duty to teach our shared past and embody the principles of peace, love, and equality.
