Yup! Megyn Kelly shouldn’t need a child to tell her that a 14 year old is a child…
If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker.

This seems like a worthwhile project people should get behind. Make Chuck and the Spineless Eight face the human suffering their actions will cause.
So moved and enraged by the replies to this and was thinking... maybe we should collect them and send them to Chuck Schumer and the rest of the Senate cowards.

I heard from a bunch of federal employees last night and this morning. They aren't happy.
"I would rather be an actual pawn. At least pawn sacrifices are calculated and achieve something. All this for a fucking meaningless vote."

Real top story from 60 Minutes interview of Trump is that he is a puppet:

TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is... Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it.
Trump is a PINO- A President in name only!

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

This is really amazing! Every single Democrat should take note and respond to these questions similarly. The frame almost always implicitly forgives Republicans as if "of course they will act badly, can't we count on you to cover for them?"

If you make 130% of the federal poverty level, you qualify for SNAP.
A family of four, making $40,560, qualifies for SNAP benefits meaning thousands of Missouri teachers qualify.
I’m tired of the bullshit. Most of the people who receive snap benefits work.
