The United States: demanding that every worker pull themselves up by their bootstraps, then making bootstraps an unavoidable, unaffordable weekly subscription with zero ownership benefit and a usage tax.

Just so we’re clear…

SNAP isn’t saved yet. A judge gave the USDA until Monday to decide how or if benefits go out. They could be delayed, reduced, or partial. Nothing’s guaranteed.

Even if payments restart, states still have to reload cards and update systems, so delays are certain.

My perhaps controversial assessment is that when you share the propaganda of your enemies to call it out or to mock it… you’re still spreading their propaganda and maybe doing exactly what they hope you’ll do.

DILANIAN: “Trump is weaponizing the DOJ, Merrick Garland slowed it down under Biden out of fear of looking political.”

Many will say this is wrong and claim Biden went after Trump. What those people are missing is Trump actually did crimes.

Even before the Trump-GOP shutdown interrupts SNAP benefits for the first time since 1964, Republican’s BBB legislation cut Fed spending on Medicaid by $1 trillion & SNAP by $186 billion. MAGA’s hammering of the most vulnerable Americans is intentional cruelty. VOTE 🇺🇸

I've given my new Senator a lot of shit on here. But I don't think anyone with power has laid out the stakes of what we're facing as clearly as she does right here.

And if she's saying this, it's because she feels she must.

Medicaid isn’t just healthcare, it’s a lifeline. More than 38 million children receive vital school services, such as speech therapy, special education, school nursing, mental health counseling, & more.

Cuts to Medicaid will devastate local schools & communities.

The GOP campaigned on "We are better at government than the Democrats"

Enough voters believed them and gave them the keys to the government.

And now its "Its all Democrats' fault that we suck at governing"

Not to ruin everyone’s weekend, but if Trump defies the federal judge and refuses to pay, we will be in full-blown dictatorship. Hopefully he 🌮.

White House officials had refused to fund SNAP from a $5B contingency fund that existed precisely in the event of something like this. trib.al/Sfh0r2C

In response, 25 states sued the federal government, and two federal judges have ordered the Trump administration to use the funds.

Nutrition assistance is NOT corrupt. Food stamps kept my family fed when my mom had to look for work after my dad got sick with MS.

The Trump administration wants kids, seniors, and veterans to go hungry. They are REFUSING to use emergency funds to keep SNAP benefits going.

Two things these smug assholes never acknowledge. First: Biden got us out of COVID, which did increase the number of people needing assistance because, ya know, pandemic. Second: per their own data, 58.4% of SNAP beneficiaries are children or over 60. Of the remaining adults, 10% are disabled.

Aaron Rupar @atrupar.com · 1d

Q: SNAP has never out of funding in its history. Why were past administration able to find funding to keep it afloat during a shutdown & you can't?

ROLLINS: Under Joe Biden, you see an almost 30% increase in the cost of the SNAP program. The goal of these program is to move families into real work

SNAP doesn’t even pay for toilet paper or tampons, you balding old ass twatwaffle, it absolutely does not pay for weaves or nails. Could you be any more fucking racist, KKK grandpa???? Why don’t you just wear the white hood to work so we’re at least don’t have to look at your fucking face??? 🤬🤬🤬🤬

ROB SCHMITT: People are using SNAP benefits to get their nails done, to get their weaves and their hair. This is a really ugly program.

SEN. RON JOHNSON: That program needs to be dramatically reformed.
