Higgins should say this to the 792K Louisianans who rely on SNAP, e.g. 17.53% in his district;LA-03. Bc this is rich coming from a POS who gets paid in tax💰 & doesn't even have to show up at work. The💰doesn't belong to govt.
It belongs to us.Providing infrastructure is what it's supposed to do.
What the hell is: properly shopped groceries??? They screw farmers, lose other countries agricultural business, are they trying to tell US how to stretch a dollar???

There are about 45K recipients in his own district!! #Louisiana #LA03 , maybe you feel you must vote Republican for God only knows why but just remember what they haven’t done lately. 🌊
30.10.2025 22:53 — 👍 9 🔁 3 💬 0 📌 0The fact that 22 million Americans rely on snap benefits in the wealthiest country in the world should be an outrage. They wanna blame poor people instead of blaming the corporate overlords that pay them less than a living wage.

31.10.2025 01:26 — 👍 11 🔁 2 💬 1 📌 0He gets $79/day during session. How about they TRADE??? He gets an INCOME of $174,000 PLUS $79/day food allowance, more for local housing in DC. But the poor are the problem. 🤦♀️

With salary and benefits their compensation totals roughly $340k p/year.
31.10.2025 01:24 — 👍 4 🔁 2 💬 0 📌 0Clay eats on the $79 daily per diem the House receives. Have not heard whether the receive per firm when the govt is shut down, but probably is the likely answer.
Everything for me and nothing for thee.
Let's help Clay out here with some math.
The $4200/yr. is for a household. Average SNAP household has 1.9 people. So that's $2210/person.
$2210/year is $184/month, and that's a little over $6. per day.
Clay, let's see you stockpile groceries on $6/day.
Hell, let's see you eat on $6/day.

Democrats need to play 3D chess with this shutdown: sign Thune’s CR ONLY if Johnson brings back the house Republicans. They get their 218 signatures to release the Epstein Files and millions of Americans get their SNAP benefits. Midterms will be a bloodbath for MAGA due to healthcare costs.

That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.
It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.

For New Yorkers who work the night shift, it can be nearly impossible to participate in political life of our city.
So tonight we’re bringing this campaign to them — starting with taxi drivers waiting at LaGuardia.
