We are being double taxed: While Trump/Vaught/Stephen Miller/ Bessent give tax breaks to the1% and send our tax $$$ to Argentina- and refusing to use OUR tax $$$ to fund subsidies for medical insurance, WE THE PEOPLE are stepping up to help our neighbors across the country buying additional food.

I always find it interesting how the story changes when a lawyer gets to court. They can say anything they want outside of court without accountability but the rules are vastly different in court where you can get seriously penalized for lying.

“The president and his fellow Republicans, who were elected on promises to lower food prices, are choosing to use hunger as a political weapon in even more ways …because they don’t have to end the shutdown at all-in any of the ways they easily could-to continue to fund food assistance.” Josh Gohkle

House Speaker Mike Johnson and other R’s incl Senator Ron Johnson seem to be blaming 42M Americans that use SNAP funds as potentially corrupt (re FOX news) - maybe … they should look back on Republican attacks on unions, corporate wage disparity, and health care costs under their power grabs!

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.
