Didn't we used to have a legislative body that determined where funding was allocated? Whatever happened to them?
"There’s only one way schools can be assured they receive federal funding: agreeing to any demands Trump makes, even when they are unconstitutional. He's running the government on favoritism, where everything is tied to his personal approval and being in his good graces." -- @snipy.bsky.social

I'm leading the charge demanding USDA reverse its cancellation of $1 billion in food purchases for local schools, food banks, & child care centers.

As people struggle with rising grocery prices, these purchases help them keep food on the table – & support the California farmers who feed our nation.

CALLS ARE WORKING - it has bought us precious time, but we NEED to keep the pressure up.

Tomorrow is the cloture vote.

KEEP CALLING: (202) 224-3121 ☎️☎️☎️

Tell your Dem Senator to vote NO on Cloture and NO on the Republican spending bill.

Do NOT assume your Senator will be good on this. Trust me.
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.
