Trump's USDA says it can’t disburse SNAP benefits on November 1 because of the shutdown.

SNAP is an entitlement program. They could *easily* find the $8 billion.

Meanwhile, they’re sending $40 BILLION to bail out Argentina, screwing American farmers in the process.

It’s bullshit—and they know it.

I'm always very open about the fact that I received SNAP benefits and Medicaid for a bit after I fled my abusive husband with my little kid in tow. I used it to help me start over in a new state and go back to school to get my BA. I now have a PhD.
SNAP benefits saved my life.

The AWS crash happened when Soros tried to Venmo 7 million protesters all at once. Anyway, he’s broke now.

Soundbite of the century: VP Vance saying, "I am a murderer and I don't care."

That had to be an impersonator. Nobody is that stupid.... well, he is MAGA, so it makes sense.

I'm a Christian and I participated in the rallies this weekend, because we have no secular king.

Chip Roy is an idiot.

Chip Roy: "The truth is the marxist, radicals, and Islamists the Democratic Party promoted this weekend, they cannot handle the truth. The truth is that there is a king and that king is Jesus. And the president has been willing to say it, & Charlie Kirk was willing to say it & he got killed for it."

I was there with my kids. We are not radical leftists and nobody was paying me. There were a lot of angry veterans - Trump wouldn't understand.

It would be a great time for a billionaire to step in to help, but they never do. Billionaires are not necessary to this nation.

Mike Johnson: "We're fighting for healthcare as well. Not just in word but in deed. We put in the one big beautiful bill, real reforms to Medicaid to make it work better."

(The bill in fact cuts nearly $1 trillion from Medicaid.)
