SNAP embarrassed him. So now he's against SNAP. SNAP is now the James Comey of government assistance programs.
President Trump criticized the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) during a Fox News interview tonight, saying people "get it automatically now so the number is many times what it should be, it's disgraceful."
Trump says "we can reform" SNAP
"SNAP is supposed to be if you are down and out," Trump said on Fox News this evening.

Trump is looking into buying warehouse—like Amazon warehouses—and turning them into mega detention centers.

These are buildings meant for packages, not people.

Trump thinks immigrants are just inventory to process, not human beings with rights & dignity.

History calls them concentration camps.

So far as I can tell, the biggest differentiator right now is not necessarily on specific policies, but between people who think we are in the midst of an authoritarian takeover and those who do not.

In response to this claim that the "strategy didn't work."

The people were on our side. We were building momentum to help save our democracy. We could have won - the premium increase notices were just starting.

And giving in now will embolden him. Things will likely get worse.

Just like the Deferred Resignation Program.

Completely funded with magic money.
TRUMP: The ones who stayed, I'm sending them a $10,000 bonus

INGRAHAM: Where's that money coming from?

TRUMP: I don't know. I'll get it from someplace.

OSCAR ISAAC, on whether he'd return to "Star Wars":

".. Yeah. I mean, I’d be open to it, although right now I’m not so open to working with Disney. But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great."

Standing up to a tyrant - who is willing to impose pain as leverage to compel loyalty or acquiescence - is hard. You can convince yourself that yielding stops the pain and brings you back to "normal".

But there is no "normal". Submission emboldens the tyrant. The threat grows.

I kid you not, Hegseth and everyone signing off on these need to be shipped off to the Hague when we retake power.
The U.S. military killed six people on Sunday in two more strikes on boats suspected of smuggling drugs in the eastern Pacific Ocean, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth said, without providing evidence. The strikes raised the death toll in the campaign to 76 people.
