Question Presented:
Can the President illegally withhold mandatory Congressional appropriations from States because he thinks it's politically advantageous to starve people?
The answer is plainly "no" but there are several guaranteed "yes" votes on SCOTUS, potentially even a majority.

If you thought Trump was Marie Antoinette saying to the hungry "let them eat cake" or a partying Gatsby-era rich guy indifferent to the hungry, it's worse than that. He's now openly defying a court order, refusing to release SNAP benefits to stick it to Dems...more than willing to let people starve.

The federal government may be cutting aid, but here in Connecticut, we’re stepping up. The Connecticut General Assembly and Governor Lamont are using up to $500 million in surplus funds to protect SNAP and other critical programs that families rely on.

Standing against tyranny is quintessentially American — and nowhere is that spirit stronger than here in New England.
At today’s No Kings rally in Niantic, we stood for the Constitution, for science, for liberty, and for the pursuit of happiness.

As a social studies teacher and legislator, I believe civics isn’t just something we teach — it’s something we practice.
Too often, politics rewards outrage instead of understanding. I wrote about this to The Day

Connecticut politicians need to be schooled in civics
Public servants are elected to govern by finding common ground, building community, solving problems and rewarding collaboration.

Honored to help proclaim Connecticut’s first Military Suicide Remembrance Day. This is more than ceremony—it’s a commitment to our veterans, a promise to remember those lost, and a call to action. We must turn remembrance into real mental health support for those who served.
