German Food Banks Feed 37,000 US Soldiers US soldiers stationed in Germany and civilian employees of the US armed forces are not receiving any salary or other payments. German authorities are compensating the civil employees, but not soldiers

US soldiers stationed in Germany and civilian employees of the US armed forces are not receiving any salary or other payments.

They are being fed by food banks and charities in Germany.

@reuters.com also just reported that US military base workers in Italy are being fed by charity too.

Doesn't something have to exist to be frozen? If you want to build a building for living space, bless. Lease all the apartments you can for whatever rate people who want to move in can pay. However, you can't raise the rent 10% each year. Is this not what it means?

The administration’s refusal to fully fund SNAP this month is part of a pattern.

First they made the largest cuts to food assistance ever. Now this.

They are purposefully hurting people in need. The administration’s refusal to fully fund SNAP this month is part of a pattern.

Mamdani: "My message to ICE agents & to everyone across this city is that everyone will be held to the same standard of the law. If you violate it, you must be held accountable. There is sadly a sense growing that certain people are allowed to violate that law, whether they be POTUS or ICE agents."

AOC: "We will not be intimidated by an administration that is violating rights and making life hard and unaffordable for every single American in this country. And we will send in a wave of Democrats that not bow to this administration, but stand up to this administration."

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

And again, a pattern of putting out statements accusing people of serious Federal crimes and then releasing them hours or days or weeks later with no charges. And no retraction.

Why do people buy pizza with EBT?

Because cauliflower is five dollars a head and you can buy five pizzas with the same money.

It’s not that folks don’t want to be healthy. They can’t afford to be healthy.
