Dems: We’re pretty sure this is bad and once polls confirm whether or not you like it we’ll establish a committee to draft a strongly worded response

Hi Bluesky,
God just needs 17k followers to hit 600k. And then 66k more after that to hit 666k. That will be funny.
Thanks,

The Trump administration COULD fund the entire SNAP program in November
They decided to only PARTIALLY fund the program-and only after a court said they must
Why partly fund it
Because they think it’ll force Democrats to end the shutdown
They’re starving Americans to play political games

He doesn't show any actual blueprints. His architect's website is strangely empty.The figures keep rising. ***He's using this as a cover to build a larger bunker for when he loses midterms and he loses control. Those 7 million No Kings protestors got to him,bigly. He's angry and he's afraid.

Great framing.
Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.
The President is building an army to attack his own country.
