House Speaker Mike Johnson signed bill cutting $186B from SNAP in July 2025 Users shared this true claim amid uncertainty regarding whether Americans would receive federal food benefits during the 2025 government shutdown.

Don’t take it from me, listen to Snopes! Speaker Johnson signed a bill to cut $186 billion from SNAP. And again, it’s HIS party that won’t help millions of Americans put food on the table this month.

Fired for defending science and speaking the truth. Dr. George Tidmarsh, head of the FDA’s drug division, says he was placed on administrative leave after questioning the legal basis of a new β€œrapid approval” program for certain drugs. A longtime industry veteran who joined the agency in

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

Here’s a disturbing video from Evanston of a federal agent hitting a man on the ground as people yell that he can’t breathe.

Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.

Why the delay from Mike Johnson?

Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

At this point Mike Johnson might as well turn the House chamber into a Spirit Halloween.

In Virginia, the governor and attorney general races are especially important. In Pennsylvania, remember to vote YES on the retention of the Supreme Court justices on the ballot. In California, vote YES on Proposition 50.

ICE nearly struck parents & kids with their cars during a high-speed chase in a school parking lot, then tried to pepper-spray a teacher who stepped in to help students.

It's been 38 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Survivors β€” and family of survivors β€” of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse are urging Mike Johnson to swear-in Adelita Grijalva:

"Every day you stall is another day survivors are denied justice, and the American people are denied the truth. Swear in Representative Grijalva and let democracy speak."

An estimated 15.7 million workers use SNAP. It’s a lifeline for those in low-wage jobs.

Meanwhile, CEOs are paid 280x as much as the typical worker.

Don’t be angry at workers for using food stamps.

Be angry at the corporations paying them so little that they need them.

DHS β€œprobably violated federal immigration laws, which entitle most immigrants facing deportation to a hearing before a judge β€” a hearing Mr. Juarez never had. .. It is unclear how many other immigrants like Mr. Juarez have been erroneously removed ..”

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

JB Pritzker creating the β€œIllinois Accountability Commission” isn’t getting enough attention. Its focus is on immigration agents & it will document abuses, capture impacts on families and communities, & recommend actions to prevent further harm. We need more of these nationwide.

If you were planning to donate to a food pantry, I have learned that if you donate money, they have stronger buying power because they buy in bulk so can get more with a dollar‼️

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong
