🚨THOUGHTS on Christians and SNAP🚨:

1. If you want the government to pass "biblical" laws on things like abortion, then why not on feeding the hungry?

2. The Bible is filled with laws about taking care of the poor. (2,000 verses or so.)

1/? I want to explain why I keep telling Black people to stay off of social media and not do interviews about lost SNAP benefits. Let the white folks do the complaining. I was coming of age when Reagan was going after the "Welfare Queen". She was the single Black mother. They even had a poster woman

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

Black people, dont let them interview you and paint you as the face of the SNAP crisis.

Yes, they’re using the shutdown to turn off SNAP benefits.

No, they don’t have to.

Can someone please ask him how the GOP changed the 60 vote threshold twice in the last two months to approve 150+ trump appointees in one go? Cuz they are in charge and can change the rules to open the government. And they know it. They WANT the shutdown.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.

A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Bynum: If you can find money to send $40 billion to Argentina but you can’t find money for food for kids and seniors, I have a problem with that. If you can find money for two airplanes for Kristi Noem, then you can find money to feed American children and seniors.

TWO CAN PLAY THAT GAME: The official Massachusetts SNAP website now warns that Trump is “choosing not to issue November SNAP benefits that help you and many families put food on the table.” It also warns of cuts due to “Congressional Republicans and President Trump” in the “One Big Beautiful Bill.”

Someone want to tell Mikey here that 86% of all SNAP benefits go to households that include a child, an elderly person, or a person with disabilities?

Or that almost 40% of SNAP recipients are children?

And that Whites account for 37% of SNAP recipients?

Trump: The cattle people, they've done very very poorly. And now they're doing well, but the price is up. So what I can see happening is we're going to take some beef because I have to get the price down.

A lot of this is Biden's fault
