And the fact that you can buy junk food with SNAP is because the mega-food industry lobbied hard, with big money behind their lobbyist influence, for years, to make it so. I agree that the rules should be tightened to focus on nutrition. But that's easier to say than do, especially in food deserts.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.
That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.
Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

The federal criminal justice system is being systematically dismantled and destroyed piece by piece and turned into a mob bossโs network of corrupt consiglieres and thugs, where good people simply doing their jobs are rooted out and eradicated.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

The problem is that many of the generals with the moral compass to defy illegal orders are retiring rather than being faced with having to do that. I honestly had hoped they show more courage.

Every single Republican at the national and local level is responsible: through their votes supporting funding and aggressive passivity in oversight, they actively working with Trump to build an army to attack the people. They can't hide from their collusion and support of this obscenity.

I am sounding the alarm that the GOP is engaged in an all out attack voting rights and free and fair elections. Voter suppression, gerrymandering, and troops in blue cities are just some of the ways they are using to try to rig the rules to keep power in 2026 and beyond.
Pay attention and act!
