I think the amount their employees receive should be charged to the company at the end of the year.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.

The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.

They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.

Wanna fix fraud and abuse?

Fix that.

I really wish people would stop saying "but that's illegal!" about ANYTHING the Trump Regime does.

When are you going to get it? Right now, the law is whatever the people who control the guys with the guns SAY it is. That's the reality of a dictatorship.

Crain, nominated to the US District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana, is even more extreme than other Trump judges. He has a long history of extremist political views and disregard for women.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
