Approximately 1/3 of those with jobs at Amazon are receiving SNAP benefits-and half suffer from food insecurity

Now billionaire Jeff Bezos is laying off 30,000 of them

How much longer will America continue to subsidize Bezos-and let him accumulate even greater wealth by sucking dry US workers

Why don’t we just take the president at his word instead of excusing his ramblings?

Like you guys, he wants a third term. You know. Like Putin or Kagame.

It’s fundamentally anti-American. Can we maybe start there instead of shrugging it off with “lol that guy…”

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

There are the "feed 100 in case 1 of them would otherwise starve" people.

And there are the "Starve 100 in case 1 of them doesn't actually deserve their food" people.

Far too many who claim to follow Jesus fall into the second camp.

To all those “Let them go without food for a month, maybe they’ll get a job” people: Most SNAP recipients have jobs. Exploitative jobs that keep them living just below the poverty line. — Should they starve to death? And then what?

He's taking away healthcare for millions. He gets a thrill out of killing people on the open seas. He wants you to hate. Dwell on that – he wants you to hate. He's demanding our justice department pay him $230,000,000. He thinks he owns the country.

He is a clear and present danger.

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.

SNAP benefits aren't only for those who need them. When a person or family uses them, they help grocery markets, supply chain, and the economy.

Monthly is averages $8.3 billion and yearly $99.8 billion in revenue lost.

"Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul."

For the last several months, federal workers have been through hell. Things have only gotten worse during the shutdown.

When I left the Department of Labor, I shared some parting words with the civil servants who worked alongside me.

These words of gratitude feel especially relevant today.
