Well that part yes - although getting some of my money back would be better than a 50 year mortgage but the tariffs are stupid in how they are being used

Trump administration demands states 'undo' full SNAP payouts as states warn of 'catastrophic impact' President Donald Trump's administration is demanding that states reverse full SNAP benefits issued under recent court orders. The U.S.

One of the roles of government is to help those in need. SNAP benefits are a vital lifeline for many. This administration has made a choice-one that is designed to harm those who are among the most vulnerable.

There are contingency funds

This is deliberate and cruel.

This makes me so angry and is so unAmerican.

There are better ways to do this and, especially for kids, finding pathways to citizenship. I am so sorry @shay3322.bsky.social

Life may not be fair in a lot of ways, but accepting status quo isn't something rendered (a) fait accompli.

We can make it fairer, and by doing that, show others they can whilst giving them a hand up.

If your state has elections - vote. Your vote matters.

Vote for your nation, your state, your community, your friends, your family, and yourself.

You matter.
