Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Here’s What Never Arrived. ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administration’s cut...

Records obtained by ProPublica indicate that food banks across the country were expecting more than 27 million pounds of chicken, 2 million gallons of milk, 10 million pounds of dried fruit and 60 million eggs that never arrived.

The hemp farmers forgot to give Trump a piece of the action. Cut him in for 20% and this all goes away.

No matter how hard people try to convince us having empathy is wrong,

it is right.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that diversity is a weakness,

it is a strength.

No matter how hard people try to convince us that love is limited,

it is unlimited.

An opulent ballroom filled with many people dressed as Great Gatsby style characters. Trump sits at the center. This Halloween party was hosted 1 day before SNAP benefits were to be cut

Is this our β€œlet them eat cake” moment?

A picture from the party that Trump hosted on Halloween at Mar-A-Lago. One day before SNAP benefits are to be cut. They are spitting in the faces of the millions who will starve due to income inequality Ironically, the theme for this party was Great Gatsby, a book where income inequality is central

In Late, Obscure Notice, DHS Turbocharges Trump’s Voter Purge Database, Evading Privacy Protections Read more here.

🚨BREAKING: The Department of Homeland Security quietly formalized sweeping changes to a federal immigration database, turning it into a national β€œvoter verification” tool that appears to sidestep federal privacy protections and will make it easier to remove large numbers of voters from the rolls.

when I worked in community services in the US, I helped fill out SNAP applications for people who'd once had successful careers as lawyers, healthcare professionals, bankers. The jaws of poverty can snap shut on anyone.

In Utah, Trump’s Vision for Homelessness Begins to Take Shape

Under Trump, the draconian future of homelessness policy is coming into focus: mass internment. Utah is building a 16-acre site to detain up to 1,300 homeless people inside locked "accountability centers." This is profoundly alarming.

Vital reporting from @ellenbarry.bsky.social and Jason DeParle:

Here’s the truly stupid part:

All these MAGA warriors cheering that SNAP is being cut off because they bought the lie that it’s β€œwaste, fraud, and abuse” don’t get it.

They won’t see a dime, a benefit, or a tax break because SNAP is cutβ€”just more hungry families and weaker local economies.

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in commonβ€”Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the listβ€”it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

Let this sink in…

β€œAt least one expert now predicting this could trigger greatest hunger catastrophe in the U.S. since the Great Depression.”

πŸ“Œ The Dept of Agriculture posted a notice on its website saying federal food aid won’t go out on November 1.

This is such a great callout…

Does your Christian church have a plan to help the community when SNAP benefits don’t go out in November?

If not, you’re at the wrong church.

When Trump says cattle ranchers "have to get their prices down," don't forget he also:

-Ended a USDA program to help states fight meatpacking monopolies
-Filled his admin with Big Ag insiders
-Revoked Biden's pro-competition executive order

Where's the beef?
