The average US taxpayer spends $36 a year on SNAP

You know what they spend on corporate subsidies? $670

Poor and disabled people who need food are not the problem

If you’re angry about “your money” feeding people but not angry it’s giving tax cuts to the wealthy?

You’re doing their dirty work.

In the midst of the government shutdown and the termination of SNAP benefits, America’s ability to track the real-world impacts of the shutdown on hunger is disappearing.
The shutdown will worsen hunger—which the Trump administration just stopped tracking
Millions of women and children are at risk of losing food benefits.

Today's Civics Basics for MAGA Morons:

The 17th Amendment, ratified on April 8, 1913, overturned the Constitution's Article I, Section 3, Clauses 1 and 2, which had US senators appointed by state legislatures.

This amendment improved representative democracy.

We vote directly for our senators.

George Washington's 1745 Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation.

The second part of #18:

Come not near the books or writings of another so as to read them, unless desired, or give your opinion of them unasked. Also look not nigh when another is writing a letter.

George Washington's 1745 Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation, written when he was 14-15 years old, as exercise in penmanship.

First part of #18:

Read no letters, books, or papers in company, but when thre is a necessity for the doing of it you must ask leave.

This is a great guest post from the Handbasket that helps clear the political smokescreen around SNAP.

Who gives a flying fuck about “defending the homeland” if we aren’t feeding our countrymen.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:
SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more
Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.
