Trump now says he will NOT abide by a federal judge's order to disburse SNAP benefits — despite the admin saying just yesterday it would partially fund November benefits.
He says SNAP benefits "will be given only when the Radical Left Democrats open up government."

We have evidence now going back to 2018 that when Trump isn't on the ballot, it's grim scenes for Republicans.
And he'll never (lawfully) be on the ballot again.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

When I read the full transcript of the interview, I realized there had been no pushback, no corrections, no challenging follow-ups. The entire interview had been an open-ended opportunity for Trump to tell rambling lies, only to have them cleaned up into a more polished product.

Imagine being so evil that you would rub your wealth in the face of the starving masses.
Trump’s deliberate & disgusting display is his pathetic way to show the world that he has everything which, to him, equates power.
It’s time for all Americans to stand up to the GOP & say ENOUGH!
