Two guys celebrating the ending of food support for poor Americans.

Hey NY Times: Congress didn't ceded its relevance. Republicans in Congress did.
One party has tried to operate like a member of the government, the other has handed the keys to the administration. House Republicans don't even come to work any longer.

JFC...cowards.
