JD's family has spent $35M on vacations. Kash Patel used a $60M FBI jet to go on a date. Trump spent $98M to golf for 24% of the days of this term. All our tax dollars. But you think single moms getting $6 a day for SNAP is the problem?

The simple truth is that our political fight over federal food aid reveals a deep crisis in our national soul.
