And the two GA state wide Public Service offices that weren't even considered competitive, or the Miami's Mayor race, or the SC in PA. . . or a host of other places that aren't talked about but are meaningful, and harbingers.

They have a contingency fund to ensure itโs covered in the event of a shutdown.
Theyโre refusing.
Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.
Starvation as a policy choice.
The kiss of death.

29.10.2025 10:20 โ ๐ 50 ๐ 24 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 1SNAP benefits have never been cut off in any government shutdown... until now. Not once. Not under Bush. Not under Obama. Not even during other long shutdowns. The only two times Americans have come close to losing food assistance - 2018 shutdown and now - were both under Donald Trump's presidency. In 2018, the USDA had to scramble to pay February benefits early to stop people from going hungry. Now in 2025, they're warning that millions may not get November benefits at all. We're talking about families who rely on $6 a day for food... being told there's "no funding"... while billionaires get tax breaks and ICE burns through millions on tear gas. This isn't fiscal responsibility. It's cruelty. Which seems to be the theme of Trump's administration." @TheJFreakinC
The White House is illegally refusing to use reserve funds to pay for SNAP benefits and Donald Trump is fully aware of this.
Donโt be gaslit, the money is there, but Trump refuses to prioritize the needs of American citizens because his main concern is a ballroom.
Trump doesnโt care about you.
Another brain-trust failure. ๐

Since when has Trump operated within the bounds of the law? We are too desperate to have this all be okay, right now! It isnโt okay. We are not okay. Saving ourselves is our job.

Sure looks like war with Venezula is on the horizon now pretty clear. Moving a carrier strike group in to the Carribean and then evacuating Gitmo sends fairly strong signals.

And he claims to be a โfarmerโ not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.
