Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago.
This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw.
Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her description—it's worse.
