Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov & other Democratic Governors need to make it clear that it's because of them that SNAP benefits are being reinstated.

DEMOCRATS sued the USDA, not Republicans.

DEMOCRATS fought for vulnerable people in Republican states!

China outsmarts him by boycotting US farmers.

Trump gets an earful from farmers and blinks.

Trump agrees to reduce tariffs & give China advanced chips.
