This ruling is a win for voters at a time when the GOP is trying to shamelessly rig themselves a House Majority in next year’s elections.

🚨 Trump is following Project 2025 to starve Americans, kids:
Project 2025: "the White House must strongly support these reforms... there would be opposition from left-of-center groups who do not want to reform SNAP and would expand welfare and dependency—such as through universal free school meals"
