These two morons have us gearing up for war in Nigeria and Venezuela after previous strikes on Yemen and Iran and intervention in Gaza, we are beginning nuclear testing for the first time in 33 years, and all this comes after threatening Greenland, Panama and Canada.

Mike Johnson has the House adjourned for 42 days, Trump just came back from a week in Asia, remodeled a WH bathroom and flew to Palm Beach for a golf weekend, they refuse to negotiate with Dems, Dems had to sue to get Trump to release SNAP funds, but Republicans are blaming Dems.

The Trump administration firing nearly all of the Special Education workers at the Department of Education sends a clear message:

They don’t believe that children with disabilities deserve an equal education.

The cruelty is staggering.

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Rep. Clay Higgins:

There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average.
Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries.
Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
