Republicans are withholding food for people in need (SNAP benefits), as an attempt to blackmail Democrats into taking healthcare away from 40 million people ("vote the clean CR").
Democrats refuse to do either. Republicans are screaming, blaming Dems for not saving their own incompetence. Again.

The move is sure to antagonize Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats in California.

So he’s saying all the tariff money we took in is gone and we won’t be able to pay it back. There was always a possibility he could lose this lawsuit and have to refund the tariff money. We didn’t prepare for that possibility? He’s running the govt like he ran his casinos.

Remember before the ACA when you had to buy your own insurance, and it was 2-4 times the price? So good! You could "negotiate" with Anthem for how much you'd pay 🤣🤣

Trump: "I want the money to go into an account for people where they buy their own health insurance. It's so good. The insurance will be better. It'll cost less. Everybody is gonna be happy. They're gonna feel like entrepreneurs. They're actually able to go out & negotiate their own insurance"

This allows Trump (via DOJ) to use taxpayer money to bribe eight GOP Senators. It's that simple, there's no other way to describe it.
And where's the compensation for people injured by the Trump admin's unlawful conduct through DHS & DOGE?
