I looked it up once. SNAP takes 2% of the US budget and 93% of the money goes to the actual poor people instead of to the bureaucracy. So it's kind of like if you paid $1000 in taxes, you spent $20 on the poor of which they got to keep $18.60, and you spent $166.66 on the military.
SNAP is probably the most effective federal dollar we spend in terms of long term domestic economic outcomes.

that isn’t why you should support it; you should support it because it is a moral imperative to feed the hungry.

but it’s why even a growth-oriented ghoul shouldn’t oppose it.

These so-called "DEMOCRAT AGENCIES"...

-Ensure our food is safe to eat
-Keep our air and water clean
-Alert us to natural disasters
-Protect us from financial fraud and scammers

Remember what Trump is actually attacking.

It's important to note that the ADL also helps coordinate the security and safety of Synagogues and Jewish community centers with federal law enforcement. Kash Patel ended that arrangement yesterday right before Yom Kippur and today there was an attack in the UK.

Indeed. So, you should be reminding everyone that the “Deal Maker” can’t make a deal, and the man who would be King and says he can do anything he wants as President, paints himself as a “Victim” whenever he doesn’t get his way.

There is only one reason why Donald Trump the raving, idiotic, racist, lunatic, convicted, criminal and adjudicated sexual abuser is still president. It is because the Republicans in Congress support him. They could remove him from office to impeachment process. But they won’t.

The latest from YouGov (n ~ 3k). People overall believe Jimmy Kimmel's comments were acceptable.

Further, people found FCC Chair Brendan Carr's comments about planning to retaliate *unacceptable.* And overall, people strongly disapprove of canceling Kimmel's show

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

(1,5) I understand gun violence. I visit my daughter at the cemetery because of it. I understand the level of evil and depravity that can cause someone to target others. Since my daughter was murdered in the Parkland school shooting, I have truly hoped for outrage from the right over school
