Under Dem presidents, Dems endlessly debate whether prez dares tout good econ news out of fear of seeming "out of touch." Trump makes up horseshit about creating "record" jobs and media never calls him "out of touch." Let's learn from this.

Exchange on this point:

The same people who think buying junk food with SNAP benefits is “abusing the system” are fine with wealthy parents using vouchers to send their kids to private schools.

My daily work puts me in touch with a lot of food banks. I've just been informed that one of the larger ones in Fairfax County, VA is closed for lack of funding. This is before SNAP stops next week. If you have the ability, please give to one or more of your local food banks. They need the help.

TACO is NOT building a ballroom.

He is building a bunker.

More than 250 investigators at the D.O.E.’s Office for Civil Rights, which enforces laws that bar discrimination, were informed that they were being laid off. “I am seeing the 1964 Civil Rights Act eviscerated right before my eyes,” one senior manager said.

When the Government Stops Defending Civil Rights

The Department of Education’s abandonment of traditional civil-rights litigation has effectively transported parents back in time, to the era before the 1964 Civil Rights Act.

Wow! It’s not even close. Food banks can’t keep up with the need…

Question: “How long is this sustainable.”

Food bank director: “It’s not… for every meal that a food bank provides, the SNAP program provides nine. There’s no way we can meet that gap.”
