Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

Apparently $20B of our taxpayer money wasn't enough to bail out Argentina.
Now Trump wants U.S. banks to divert ANOTHER $20B away from lending to American businesses, farmers, and families to prop up Milei's corrupt presidency and failing economy.
So much for America First.

It’s a terrible bill. It will literally kill people. The most vulnerable among us will suffer as the wealthiest benefit. It’s perverse. I wish there were something I could do. But alas, I am only a U.S. Senator from Alaska whose “no” vote would kill the bill. So I voted yes. You get it.

Nope, the Trump administration hasn't given up on trying to ban abortion.
Just this week, RFK Jr. pushed a fake report about the abortion medication mifepristone.
He's peddling misinformation so he can lay the groundwork for restricting abortion access no matter where you live.
