‘Squashing people’s voices’: Boston federal worker who decried SNAP cuts on MSNBC now faces firing by Trump administration - The Boston Globe A USDA employee in Boston says the Trump administration is retaliating against her for speaking out.

Trump went all the way to the Supreme Court to withhold food from vulnerable Americans.

Now, he’s firing a worker for laying out the facts: Republicans were using hunger as a political weapon.

Democrats are going to fight back for Ellen, and all federal workers.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.

The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.

People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.

And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump just pardoned Rudy Giuliani, John Eastman, Mark Meadows, Sydney Powell, and dozens of people who tried to steal the 2020 election.

What kind of man works aggressively to flex his power and deny nearly 42 million Americans food benefits intended to stave off hunger just weeks before Thanksgiving?

This is not just funny, it's smart. We need more of this mockery that shows these thugs that we see their despicable fascism and give them the respect that they deserve.

If your government says there's too many autistic kids, then eliminates the entire special education department, they don't care about autism, or kids, or education.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

You know what’s scarier than the guy getting heat stroke in 110 degrees picking your fruit for a better future for his kids? Watching those crops rot because no one’s buying, thanks to stupid tariff wars that nuked your markets and your paycheck.

We’ve just received two months straight of ‘violent rhetoric playing a role in the Kirk assassination’ lectures from the right, only to have Congressional Republicans come out and preemptively label the upcoming No Kings protests as an Antifa offensive full of disloyal subversives. Rhetoric indeed.

HOW IT STARTED: $307

HOW IT’S GOING: $964
