Louisiana — the red state that Mike Johnson nominally represents — has the second highest percentage of residents enrolled in SNAP in the nation.

They’re pushing this fantasy about these being “Democrat programs” used only in blue states but that’s a PR fantasy divorced from reality.

Trump's tariffs are driving up the cost of everything, especially groceries.

But the President doesn't have a clue, maybe because he's too busy throwing obscene Gatsby-themed parties while he denies millions of families SNAP benefits.

O'DONNELL: The stock market doesn't affect everybody. Not everybody is invested in the stock market

TRUMP: It does

O'DONNELL: But grocery prices are up

TRUMP: No. 401ks. People have 401ks.

CAIN: Why are polls showing 52% of Americans are blaming Republicans and Trump for the shutdown?

MIKE JOHNSON: The entire media establishment is parroting the talking points of the Democrats every day. It's the most staggering level of gaslighting we've ever seen in American politics.

Meanwhile, Congressional GOP leaders refuse to permit a vote on a bill to fully fund SNAP through this Trump shutdown.

Democrats and Independents, if you don’t show up for your candidate, you’re helping their opponent.

We don’t want Tuesday’s story to be, “They were polling far ahead but lost because their most enthusiastic voters didn’t get their ballots in.”

We’ve seen this play out before.

"The video cut O'Donnell's final question: "So not concerned about the appearance of corruption with this?"

"Also omitted was Trump's stammering reply: "I can't say, because — I can't say — I'm not concerned. I don't — I'd rather not have you ask the question."
