How do the same people who oppose paying for children's school lunches via taxes because "nothing is free" (in this case, literally, "there's no free lunch") believe big orange man baby when he tells them the $400m gift is free (and Qatar will want nothing in return)?

Republicans pulled their budget vote—surprise! They’re too busy fighting each other to govern.
They might be split on the math, but they agree on this: cutting services for working families & rewarding billionaires.
This ain’t a budget—it’s a blueprint to rob the people.

Last week, we joined food orgs to raise the alarm on Trump's cuts to food assistance. Now, they’re cutting *another* $500M for TEFAP.
This will hurt the people who use food banks and farmers who rely on these purchases.
Is leaving kids hungry what this Admin is all about? Or do they just not care?

🔥 Speech by NM Rep Melanie Stansbury about how absurd it was for the DOGE subcommittee to hold meetings on walk-in cooler & refrigerant efficiency standards instead of the security breach by Hegseth & others.

Is this woman standing in front of what looks like a CONCENTRATION CAMP proud of herself and our government for sending and locking up over 200 people from the US, with ABSOLUTELY NO due process -many of whom our government has admitted did NOT EVEN HAVE ANY CRIMINAL CHARGES in the US?!
Pathetic. Just pathetic.

In 2023, 13.5% of Americans struggled to buy food at some point — the highest rate in nearly a decade.
How is the Trump regime addressing this crisis?
By cutting $1 billion from federal programs that support food banks across the country.
The cruelty is the point.

Here's my script for calling for the resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth & National Security Advisor Michael Waltz!
Call ESPECIALLY your red representatives!

![Here's the script I used:
Hi, my name is [Constituent name] and I’m a constituent from [City & Zip Code].
I’m demanding that [Rep or Senator XYZ] call for the immediate resignation of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth & National Security Advisor Michael Waltz for having a classified conversation on a personal phone and a commercial messaging app.
Those conversations are supposed to take place in a SCIF - Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility in their home or office.
National security experts say that a 2023 Department of Defense memo specifically cited Signal as one example of an “unmanaged” messaging app that is not authorized to transmit non-public DOD information.
Any Defense Secretary or National Security Advisor who carelessly uses a non-secure phone to have classified conversations is putting our troops at immeasurable risk. Representative [XYZ] needs to act to protect those military members who are putting their lives on the line for our defense.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:dozrbbuzuojdwr2psqkapfxo/bafkreid6s7o23e3aqhq7xjdebmhtpdlz2l5or3jdj4cejoackw7c2jd3ei@jpeg)
