Dems should blanket the airwaves with ads about this
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

An ongoing issue in Trump II is people's insistence on evaluating every action in isolation.
It's of course true that US democracy can survive a partisan mid-decade redistricting under normal circumstances.
But we have an authoritarian president trying to consolidate autocratic control!
