The Positive Effect of SNAP Benefits on Participants and Communities - Food Research & Action Center

β€œFor struggling families and communities, SNAP is making a huge difference in their economic well-being and health. For example, SNAP is good for local economies – each dollar in federally funded SNAP benefits generates $1.79 in economic activity.”

Trump’s Phony β€œKarma Defense” The claims that he was a victim of inappropriate β€œlawfare” are wildly inflated, and don’t justify his government’s lawsuits against his critics.

They did it to Trump, the argument goes, now he’s just doing it back to them. This is factually false, and it would be cheap and wrong even if it were true.

Your reminder that it is your moral duty to break unjust laws that threaten your fellow human beings.

Trump will β€œcontinue making peace deals, ending wars, and saving lives”, he wrote. β€œHe has the heart of a humanitarian, and there will never be anyone like him who can move mountains with the sheer force of his will.”

Thread 🧡

The administration pushed back hard after Trump was denied the Nobel Prize, suggesting that the President has "a humanitarian heart."

I have some doubts....let's explore why by returning to some of the other actions that Trump has taken in his second term

Mamdani: Trump ran on three promises. He ran on the punishment of his political enemies, easing the cost of living crisis, and mass deportation. It's that second promise that brought so many to his campaign. Yet he's unwilling to deliver on that because he's beholden to billionaires

Weiss is an opinion journalist. Fine for what it is, but hardly the basis for leading hard news.
For example, she built Free Press around cancel culture, but has been largely silent in the face of Trump's authoritarian purges. And that is *why* the Trump-supporting billionaire owners picked her.

Last year, CNN ran a β€œfact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants

It is important to see this sort of straight talking, precisely because of the executive order last week that conflated criticism of the government with terrorism.
