As nearly 1.5 million low-income Ohioans face the loss of food assistance, two statewide Republicans appear to be posing a choice to congressional Democrats: Pick between that and health care subsidies received by 514,000 low and middle-income residents ohiocapitaljournal.com/2025/10/30/o...

If I ever run into Clay Higgins, I’ll need bail money.

Kristi’s a trucker? I’m out, ya’ll.

Ahead of the 1st shutdown of US food aid to hungry Americans in 60 years, some of the 200,000 Little Free Library locations are converting into food pantries. Thanks @littlefreelibrary.bsky.social

THIS!!!!

The same people who think buying junk food with SNAP benefits is “abusing the system” are fine with wealthy parents using vouchers to send their kids to private schools.

The President wants to use the military to crack down on Americans who are exercising their 1st Amendment rights to oppose him. I can’t think of a better reason to insist on exercising those rights.

Neguse: "Does anyone here not believe that with one phone call from Speaker Johnson -- one phone call to the president or the secretary of ag -- that those funds would be released tomorrow? And that families wouldn't go starving by the weekend?"

MTG’s a liberal now? LMAO!

The same people who don’t care about children being raped also don’t care that they will starve.

If SNAP benefits vanished tomorrow, feeding 42 million Americans for a month would cost about $7.8 billion.That’s less than 1% of the combined net worth of the three richest men in the U.S. A reminder of how obscene inequality has become and how easily hunger could be solved if we chose to.

So now Elon’s an English lit expert? 🙄

In case I’ve not made myself clear—no family in America should go hungry. Period.

Trump’s decision to withhold SNAP is unconscionable and immoral. The GOP needs to come back to DC and reopen the government. And the Admin needs to release the funds so families can put food on the table on Saturday.

I’ve got some news for you, Ruben.

Yes! I’m a lifelong Ohioan and Amy has my vote.

Trump told U.S. service members stationed in Japan that he was prepared to send “more than the National Guard” into American cities to enforce his crackdown on “crime and immigration,” signaling a sharp escalation in his willingness to use the military against U.S. citizens.

JOHNSON: “.. The pain register is about to hit level 10.”

Dems aren’t the ones keeping it shut down.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Damn.

And we aren’t going to help them. 😡

Amazon announces they are laying off the largest amount of workers ever in the company’s history.

30,000+ workers will lose their jobs.

I fear we will not be helping.

It’s a foregone conclusion. The question is will anyone stop him.

I’m in the Midwest, and I’m sorry to say he is not.

Venezuela claims it has captured CIA-linked mercenaries plotting a “false flag” attack to justify US military action.

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.

A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.

I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.

NOT-SO-FUN FACT: A month before Thanksgiving, wholesale turkey prices are about 40% HIGHER than last year. 🦃
