Snatch day in my #KettlebellSport program. I love doing heavy snatches and training with a sub-maximal load for reps is the hardest mental hurdle of sport training. #Fitnesssky

For the first time in modern history, Donald Trump is shutting down SNAP.

That means 42 MILLION Americans will miss out on food assistance funds starting November 1.

Donald Trump is choosing to let mommas and their babies go hungry.

"I’m actually a soybean farmer. So, I have felt this pain, too,” Bessent said.

But Bessent isn’t a farmer; he’s a landlord who rents to real farmers.
Scott Bessent Claims He Feels Soybean Farmers' Pain. He's Worth $500 Million
China's boycott of American soy has farmers suffering. Trump's very rich treasury secretary feigns empathy.

To Donald Trump:

Stop using military troops and ICE to invade and disrupt American cities.

Stop calling your political opponents “enemies” of the US.

Stop attacking the 1st Amendment.

Our troops and our nation deserve better than you acting as a petty tyrant.
Trump: San Francisco and Chicago, New York, Los Angeles… We'll straighten them out one-by-one. It will be a major part for some of the people in this room. It’s a war too. It’s a war from within

“A DESPERATE SITUATION” 🧑‍🌾

Trump’s trade war is crushing Tennessee soybean farmers, as China — their largest customer — buys NOTHING from them.

Why don’t @GovBillLee @MarshaBlackburn @RepChrisTodd @rustygrills @CSexton25 @RepFaison @AndyOgles care?
