Speaker Johnson has literally said he's "not promising anyone anything."

For once, I believe him.

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.

Gotta be the first time he has used the word 'affordability'. Wonder if his fingers seized while typing it.

The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure itโ€™s covered in the event of a shutdown.

Theyโ€™re 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.

I agree. The point is strong storytelling, regardless of where the story tellerโ€™s voice comes from - a distance or active and in the moment.

Because wages have sorely lagged inflation, and the wage gap is an ocean between verticle continents. Worse? The stratosphere doesn't give a damn.

SNAP 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."

The White House is illegally refusing to use reserve funds to pay for SNAP benefits and Donald Trump is fully aware of this.

Donโ€™t be gaslit, the money is there, but Trump refuses to prioritize the needs of American citizens because his main concern is a ballroom.

Trump doesnโ€™t care about you.

If I had a dime for every time I heard - he wonโ€™t do that because he will be violating the law. I mean, really. Since when has Trump operated within the bounds of the law? We are too desperate to have this all be okay, right now! It isnโ€™t okay. We are not okay. Saving ourselves is our job.

Attacking & taking Venezula hidden in the trump MAGA 2025 document

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.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

I still canโ€™t believe Scott Bessent, whose net worth is $521 million, went on TV and claimed that he โ€œhas felt the painโ€ of the trade war because he is a โ€œsoybean farmer.โ€

And he claims to be a โ€œfarmerโ€ not because he grows things, but because he is a landlord of some farmers.
