I can do math! Based on government data the SNAP program spends approx $8.3 billion/month. Looks like the regime is saying there won’t be money to feed hungry people starting 11/1.

But they managed to find $40 billion to send to Argentina. rollcall.com/2025/10/16/u...

USDA's Rollins says food stamp funding to dry up in two weeks - Roll Call

Nearly 42 million people could be left without monthly food benefits if the federal government doesn't reopen before funding runs out.

$40 billion for Argentina while Americans go hungry. I am so disgusted. www.usatoday.com/story/money/...

TODAY is the first day of open enrollment in Idaho. That means people need to start choosing their health care plans RIGHT NOW.

One Idahoan who's paying $367/month will be paying a WHOPPING $2,232/month without the ACA tax credits.

We have to save the ACA tax credits.

Meta has removed a Chicago ICE-tracking Facebook page.

The move follows Apple and Google removing ICE activity tracking apps from their app stores.

The removals came after a demand from Trump’s DOJ.

Once again, Big Tech is bending the knee to our tyrant-in-chief to protect its bottom line.

He gives $20 Billion of OUR dollars to bailout Argentina without consulting Congress or the American people. Does that seem like the actions of a KING to you?

Join us & let him know just what you think about that this Saturday, 10/18

Trump doubles the bailout to Argentina, now $40 billion, and Argentina takes all China’s soybean orders away from our American farmers - 7 million tons. Was it Argentina first?
