NO child get's $300/MO from SNAP. The average is UNDER $180/mo. You try and feed your kids on $5/day Marco.

Millions depend on SNAP-I am one of them. I will be hit hard next month but I am worried about the working mother with 2 or 3 kids. What will she do when Thanksgiving comes and her kids are not in school for lunch over the long weekend?
YOUR neighbors are on SNAP -you just don't know it.

I am a disabled senior (over 65) who works as a psychotherapist, and am on SNAP.
I hold a PhD but can only work part time. I am SO grateful for what I get from SNAP but please don't think I'm eating high end food. I shop at Walmart to make the money last-but it does NOT last the whole month.

Important information about November SNAP benefits.

SNAP (Food Stamps)benefits will not be sent out in NOVEMBER.
This effects MILLIONS of adults & children.
Many grocery stores depend on SNAP money. Economists anticipate that the losses will be passed on to ALL consumers-plan for 50% INC in food bills!
SNAP&MEDICAID effect ALL of us not just poor.

I suspect some Americans are unaware of the Pre-World War II changes under Hitler.
Maybe they slept through World History.
Maybe they couldn't find it in a 280 character post on Twitter.

Speaker Johnson will NOT swear-in Rep Elect Adelita Grijalvva.
Why?
She is an extreme, left wing democrat, anti-MAGA, nutjob trying to singlehandedly destroy Trump and keep the govt in shutdown
OR
Is she's the 218th signer to the discharge petition for the Epstein Files ๐Ÿค”

Humans have a hard time assessing risk. Letโ€™s dive into the numbers and compare risk of COVID infection to driving and car accidents. TikTok video by Laura

PLEASE watch and repost on all social media.

People have WRONGLY normalized COVID believing "it's like the flu."
You will prob survive COVID.
However, w each infection your risk of #LONGCOVID โซ.Your risk of disability โซ.
It's not IF you get long covid, it's WHEN.

My patients have "normalized" covid: "it's Flu, no big deal."
They & ALL of their children have had covid 4,5, 7 times.
But for them it's so 2020.
I'm immunocomp, still in lockdown. 30yr daughter has #LongCovid neuropathy.

Long Covid is playing russian roulette w/ 5 bullets.
It's not IF, it's WHEN.

text at top" Just so we're clear, Trump can spend:
$6B on Netanyahu (under a pic of Netanyahu)  $20B on Argentina $5.9 B on Musk's SpaceX (under a pic of Elon Musk) $649M on National Guard Deployment (under pics of soldiers) and $85M on Golf Outhings (Under pic of Trump on golf course, swinging club).
But he won't spend a penny on protecting Healthcare access or undoing Medicaid cuts for regular Americans.

Think about it. Call Congress and let them have it! They ALWAYS have money for Billionaire Pet Projects and Tax Cuts!
