The USDA is the fail safe for SNAP.

They have a contingency fund to ensure itโ€™s covered in the event of a shutdown.

Theyโ€™re refusing.

Grocery stores stepped up to try and help by offering discounts to any SNAP recipients and the USDA told them they had to stop.

Starvation as a policy choice.

Speaker Johnson: Federal employees arenโ€™t being paid. Nutrition cuts may cause children to go hungry. Millions are seeing their health premiums soar.

End the 6 week paid vacation youโ€™ve taken. Join your Democratic colleagues and negotiate an end to this shutdown.

I don't resent poor people who use food stamps to buy another soft drink.

I resent rich people who take away the funds for food stamps to buy another yacht.

If you delete the SNAP contingency fund language from the USDA site, what youโ€™re really saying is that you know that you could feed people and youโ€™d rather not.

I heard two judges have ruled that SNAP funds must go out but I still have zero hope it will happen. Am I wrong?

Feminist Proper Gander (@dappergander.bsky.social) this is so stupid and really sums up Trump

Trump's stupid ballroom is ugly and out-of-proportion, like Trump.

The huge, lumbering structure (90k sq ft) will dwarf the White House (55k sq ft) and block any view of the White House from the east and the Treasury building.

A vulgar, tacky, lopsided eyesore.

This is a take-one-for-the-team moment.

Our country is dying, and Jack Smith knows it.

Heโ€™s asking to testify publicly, so you know heโ€™s got receipts.

Doing this paints an even larger target on his back, and he's saying, "Fuck it."

Go Jack!

Motherfucker is shitting on people and tearing the White House down hoping weโ€™ll forget about the Epstein files.

Bitch, we didnโ€™t forget.

Organizers have reported 7 million attendees at the No Kings events and weโ€™re happy to confirm 7 million and counting! More events are still happening across the country today, so weโ€™ll need additional time to fully certify the final numbers.

As we resist tyranny, America gains solidarity.

As we gain solidarity, we build courage.

As we feel courageous and stand up to Trump, we weaken him and his regime.

Let's continue to build solidarity by peacefully opposing our tyrant-in-chief today at No Kings Day 2.0.

The Nazi regime in DC has now decided that American families who rely on SNAP benefits will not be eating in November.

Yes, you read that right.

No food for Thanksgiving.

Because Nazi republicans in power don't want anyone to see the Epstein files.

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

ICE has been deployed to *provoke* civilians, not to protect them. They want to throw tear gas canisters and get people on the streets riled up, all to create footage for Fox News and Newsmax, et al., that will be used as a pretext for imposing martial law to lower voting rates in Democratic cities.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

"A future president, even dumber than you, will allow Qatar, the country that harbored Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the architect of the plane attacks in NY, PA, and DC today, and whose royal family will help him escape capture by the US, to build a military base on US soil to train Qataris to fly jets."

Yesterday they were shooting priests in the head with rubber bullets. Today they're arresting journalists. If you have anyone in your life who doesn't regularly follow the news and doesn't understand how bad things are and how bad they're about to get, you need to tell them right now. Time is short.
