"The Republican Party has created an entirely avoidable mess for itself. By taking a resolute stand in favor of making healthcare unobtainable for many Americans, and now threatening to starve children to achieve that perverse goal, they have made performative cruelty their political calling card."

Mike Johnson's lies keep getting lost in the facts

The shutdown is exposing the speaker's slimy disingenuousness.

Senate Republicans blocked a resolution demanding full funding for SNAP benefits.

This, as Trump still refuses to fully restore SNAP to 42 million Americans.

As we head into the midterms, don't forget: GOP lawmakers are fully complicit with Trump's weaponization of hunger.

Open enrollment for ACA healthcare plans has started, and enrollees are seeing what their premium costs will be next year.

Without subsidies, one couple will see their monthly costs increase from $495 to $2,168 — a 300% increase.

This is what Democrats are fighting to prevent.

Sending someone to jail for five weeks with $2 million bail over posting a meme is free speech, right? @timmiller.bsky.social on the insane case of Larry Bushart:

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order?

LEAVITT: I've now answered this question several times. We are complying with the court's order

LEAVITT: He means he doesn't know him personally. He means he does not a personal relationship with this individual. When it comes to pardons, the WH takes them with the utmost seriousness

Sending out only half of November’s SNAP benefits over a period of weeks and months is half compassion, half cruelty.

It shouldn’t take a federal judge to make Trump care about hungry Americans. And even then, he’s only pretending.

NEW: Footage of a US citizen in Chicago being rammed then dragged from her car on her way to work.

Abducted, with no warrant, her family couldn’t find her for hours.

She was later released with NO CHARGE.

A DHS statement said she “violently resisted arrest, injuring two officers”.

Leavitt claims the administration is complying with SNAP-related court orders but warns that "the recipients of these SNAP benefits need to understand it's going to take some time to receive this money because the Democrats have forced the administration into a very untenable position."

CHICAGO: “My uncle was on his way home from getting groceries on his bike — they grabbed him and choked him and punched him… he’s a kind hardworking man. They’re racially profiling people.”

Trump’s ICE goons put an elderly man in the hospital and nearly choked him to death.

The president is not a king. He is not free to disregard the rule of law whenever it becomes politically inconvenient for him. The Trump administration must comply with recent court orders to fund SNAP in November for millions of hungry seniors, children, veterans and the disabled.
