The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.
Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.
The people who need help are not the problem.
It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

The forced deportation of roughly five million U.S. citizen children with undocumented parents would rank among the worst atrocities this country has ever carried out.
It is also wildly illegal, not how anything works, and indicative of Trump’s ignorance to details—so balance any fears accordingly.

I had my $$ on M4L’s Justice. But McMahon fits a type:
Her America First Policy Inst is a big dark money billionaire shop.
AFPI is part of the State Policy Network, which I write about in The Privateers.
Gives full reign to political hatchet-men even if dismantling ED stalls
