I'm not a Nobel winning economist, but it seems to me the world's largest retailer and the worlds largest delivery services laying off hundreds of thousands right before the busiest retail and delivery season of the year is perhaps not an optimistic indicator of Trump's promised "Golden Age"

            Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) actually told the press that Democrats would be the ones hurt most by losing SNAP.
To be fair, since he lives in Florida instead of the state he represents, maybe he doesnโt realize 752,000 Alabamians rely on SNAPโ14.6% of the stateโs population.

Trump rubbed their noses in their own shit last night and they sat there and took it, because the Press has been a collaborator with Trump from the beginning.

                Shutdown 2025: Impact On Head Start Programs
                Federal funding for Head Start programs is dispersed on a staggered grant cycle, meaning different programs receive their funding at different times

More Head Start programs shutting down on November 1st 2025.  Now some toddlers will not only lose Snap but will also not be able to receive food they normally get while attending Head Start.  The regime is starving toddlers.
