Instead of fixing the tech, they policed recipients and fed the fraud myth.
The real fraud problem is criminals skimming benefits from outdated magnetic-stripe cards that USDA refused to fix. In most states, they have stopped reimbursing stolen funds.

Agriculture’s failure to force SNAP card upgrades is causing $555M in lost benefits, watchdog says
The Trump administration’s imperative to combat fraud has largely focused on recipients scamming the system, rather than becoming victims of fraudsters themselves.

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

BREAKING: A young doctor who lives near where Alex Pretti, a nurse, was killed by ICE says in a declaration he saw the shooting, went out to help, was not let through at first then patted down before being let by, and was apparently the first to try and provide any medical assistance to Pretti.

You have to read this. Firsthand affidavit from one of the women who was there and recording the video. She talks about how Alex Pretti was directing traffic when she arrived. She watched him be killed in front of her. She's afraid to go home, worried she'll be arrested.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.

There is no world in which it is normal for the president to publicly call upon his attorney general to hurry up and prosecute his political foes. It’s like the Watergate tapes but posted on social media. Let’s get a grip on what’s happening here.

They want us focused on street crimes so that we won't be focused on theirs.
And the toll of theirs in lives and money and total victims dwarfs anything happening on the street.
Street crime is real—but if you're obsessed with it, they've got you right where they want you, pal.

At the beginning of the war, people were urging Zelenskyy to flee Ukraine for his safety. His reply? "I don't need a ride; I need ammunition."
3 years later, he's still standing tall, strong, and determined. That man is a HERO.
Trump & Vance are weak, sniveling, cowardly LOSERS by comparison.

Musk's new department, which just seized control over payments as broad as USAID, defense, and social security, is presently livetweeting screenshots as they gleefully stop payments related to DEI, accessibility, and immigration. The account claims $1B in payments have already been cut off.

They do not need to know, it won’t affect your treatment, it doesn’t interact with other meds & they can’t tell that you’ve taken them unless you notify them.

No one's blaming Democrats for causing this crisis, but yes, many of them are failing to meet this moment.
One Democratic senator could bring the chamber to a halt. House Dems can go to fed agencies being gutted by Musk with cameras in tow. Governors can push back. State AGs can bring lawsuits.
