-Becomes Secretary of Labor
-In that capacity tries to gut anti-human trafficking funding
It's like a poorly written paperback legal thriller

REPUBLICAN @RepGregSteube opposed the funding bill because @SenatorHagerty & @MarshaBlackburn and others snuck in a provision to hand themselves millions of taxpayer dollars. #MarshaMoneyGrab 💰

Utah has just approved a 1,300-person “mega camp” for homeless individuals,This camp lacks transportation, features locked units, and even imposes forced labor.
They refer to this facility as “work-conditioned housing,” but we simply call it what it is: modern-day internment.

“Walmart was the top employer of SNAP recipients in five states and one of the top four employers in the remaining four states. McDonald’s was among the top five employers of Medicaid enrollees in five of six states and SNAP recipients in eight of nine states.”

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.
