People fucking hate this guy. They fucking hate ICE. They fucking hate how much power he has. He is at 63% overall disapproval to 37% approval. That's lower than their poll after January 6th. And this poll was done before he started intentionally starving people. I wish our media would reflect this.

TRUMP ADMIN: IT IS FORBIDDEN TO PROVIDE ANY DISCOUNT WHATSOEVER TO SNAP RECIPIENTS TO WHOM WE HAVE DENIED FOOD
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email
