I lived with my dad when I was very young and he didn’t apply for food stamps or free school lunches, though we qualified.
So, I went hungry. It was awful. I begged neighbors for saltine crackers. I can say it was the worst time of my life.
Children shouldn’t go hungry. Restore SNAP benefits.

This is real life: as thousands of federal workers are going unpaid, a ballroom is being built in the White House and the president wants the Justice Department to pay him $230 million. Even Marie Antoinette would find that to be a bit much.

It’s a sad day when an International performer as big as Bad Bunny will not play in the United States because of ICE. 🧊🧊🧊
Bad Bunny doesn’t want any of his fans to be nabbed by ICE because they went to one of his concerts. 🎶🎶

The words from Gov Cox of Utah are the words they should be coming from the president of the United States.
Will the media hold him, and people like Nancy Mace accountable for their false accusations?

If I were charged with a federal crime, I’d hire Pam Bondi’s brother as my lawyer. Because I don’t think this is a coincidence.
