Trump's National Guard deployments have cost over $473 MILLION.
A disgusting misuse of federal resources, taxpayer dollars, and US troops’ service.
Doing this while firing federal workers and kicking millions off of healthcare is just the cherry on top of the dumpster fire that is the Trump admin.

The Army later altered publication to remove a list of food banks, but we have the original text here:

Literally all DEMS have to do is hold the line. The GOP will cave. We do not negotiate with domestic terrorists who use hunger as a weapon against their own people.
If DEMS trade away the ACA for SNAP, we will lose the midterms.
