"It’s difficult to conceive of a cohesive and robust Republican Party emerging out of the ruins being wrought by Trump. And considering the untold damage the party has done to the nation over the past 25 years, perhaps that's for the better."

The GOP needs to end the shutdown and negotiate with Democrats to save essential programs for working families.

But when it comes to feeding hungry kids? Trump is looking for every excuse he can find to block SNAP benefits.

President Trump—the man who passed the largest cuts to SNAP in history—is CHOOSING to let families go hungry.
He is outright refusing to use an emergency fund to pay SNAP benefits, even though USDA said they would just last month!
