There is nothing in the Constitution that guarantees a right to eat food. So it's hard to understand why the Democrat Party thinks the SNAP issue is a political winner.

Fun fact:
Musk's pay package would be equal to the cost of SNAP (i.e., helping 42 million people to buy food) for TEN YEARS.

🚨🚨🚨

Trump is openly defying multiple court orders and withholding food from 42 million Americans, mere hours after the USDA sent guidance to the states.

The incompetence is staggering.

His threat is illegal, immoral, and only causing more chaos and anxiety for food banks and hungry Americans.

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

If Kamala Harris had a year ago that in a year's time Donald Trump would tear down a third of the White House to build a gilded ballroom paid for by access-seeking billionaires, all while he demanded the US taxpayers pay him $230 million personally, she would have been called hyperbolic. And yet

Right: White House today.
