As I explained in my Round Up this week, the admin screwed up and a handful of states were able to access SNAP funding to pay full benefits for their constituents. The gov has represented in court that they can’t get it back, so it’s become an equity issue open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

Yo, a shout out to the people Donald Trump says he loves, "the poorly educated."
Trump is fighting in court to NOT provide food to the poorest people in America, including pregnant women, infants, and toddlers.

Donald doesn't love you, he despises you.

The current GOP lie is that they’re going to replace Obamacare with something better.

Bullshit. In all of the majorities they’ve had since Obamacare passed, they’ve never once tried to replace it.

They’ve tried to repeal it a whole bunch, but never actually make it better.

Forests are more than just wood and are important for the water balance. The groundwater beneath a forest is clean, oxygen-rich and excellent for producing drinking water. That is why forests are particularly often also water protection areas. πŸ’šπŸŒΏβ˜˜οΈπŸŒ±πŸŒ²πŸŒ³πŸ€πŸ’š

Noem wanted to buy Spirit Airlines planes - except the airline didn’t own them DHS looked at buying the planes from Spirit Airlines, according to a report

Kristi Noem ordered ICE to purchase ten Spirit Airlines jets for deportations. Two problems: Spirit doesn’t own the planes, and they don’t have engines. Has there ever been a more incompetent administration?

So the the United States Supreme Court has gone from protecting schoolchildren from racism in 1954 to helping to kill them with malnourishment in 2025? And the arc of history bends towards justice, you say?

One of the unacknowledged advantages of this awful era is that it's revealing for all to see the putrid connections between great wealth and great power.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.

But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.

Folks this is not a candid shot of the man at 11PM on a weekend, this is what he was doing while sitting in the middle of an internationally broadcast major press conference in the Oval Office

He is cooked, get him out of there ASAPβ€”before we find ourselves in the midst of a second Great Depression

Trump admin's SNAP appeal brazenly claims obeying a judge to fund food stamps hurts the government worse than starving millions, despite ample reserves for 42 million needy Americans. #FoodInsecurity

Contrast this with the video I just posted of Americans standing in food lines this weekend, in the rain and cold.

Don't have to wonder where the SNAP funds are.

I’d like to posit that it’s not just about Medicaid, SNAP, etc. being the morally β€˜right thing to do’ it is also the most cost-effective, economically beneficial, and productive thing to do.

Let me be clear β€” there are contingency funds available to fully fund SNAP while we are in this Republican shutdown.

But what is Trump doing? He’s doing everything in his power to withhold these benefits, making Americans go hungry.

SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS
The SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) benefit is about $6 per person per day. Households with no income get about $8-$9 a day.
EACH Congressman has a daily limit of $79 for reimbursement of meals and incidental expenses in Washington, D.C.

POS who used bankruptcy court six separate times to avoid paying millions to contractors, is now using the Supreme Court to avoid paying SNAP benefits to families with children.

His demise can’t come soon enough.

Under Trump’s regime, inflation is skyrocketing along with grocery prices.

There is nothing in the Constitution that guarantees a right to eat food. So it's hard to understand why the Democrat Party thinks the SNAP issue is a political winner.
