There's a lotta silliness and falsehoods in this statement, but I'm going to focus on the bigger issue: It is immoral to make low-income folks and their hungry children political pawns. Need is need.

When ICE Roughs Up American Citizens
A ProPublica report documents scores of unlawful arrests of U.S. citizens and points to widespread abuses by ICE
"ICE has created zones of fear where both citizens and non-citizens tread carefully, knowing that a routine errand or encounter could end in detention."

I think dystopian fiction has done a great disservice to America because everyone thinks a constitutional crisis involved tank parades, grey skies and giant banners whereas it really is just other branches of government standing by as a president declares himself dictator.

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.
"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.
"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

DJT truth social - SNAP benefits .. will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up govt
π¨π¨π¨π¨π¨
This is the President openly announcing that he will violate court orders - two courts had concluded that the Trump regime withholding SNAP funding was illegal - and that the government had to pay out (at least reduced) SNAP benefits starting this week

Trump: SNAP BENEFITS, which increased by Billions and Billions of Dollars (MANY FOLD!) during Crooked Joe Biden's disastrous term in office (Due to the fact that they were haphazardly "handed" to anyone for the asking, as opposed to just those in need, which is the purpose of SNAP!), will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government, which they can easily do, and not before! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DJT

Remarkable to see how much Trump is obsessed with Mamdani. Despite Mamdani barely engaging with him. How much of it is because he is the anti-Trump: hopeful, cheerful, young, pluralistic, perhaps truly populist?

Imagine falling for this shit. The money is all there and if you think he'll actually fund SNAP, you're crazy. Dems, he's giving you a layup on messaging here. Trump says he HAS the money but is withholding it from American citizens because of politics. These are YOUR CONSTITUENTS.
