The Republican war on child nutrition continues.
They cut $186 BILLION from SNAP in the Big, Beautiful, Betrayal.
Now, Trump is withholding SNAP funding, even though USDA’s OWN GUIDANCE (which they’ve now deleted) said they have funding!

Trump's attacks on the free press aren't an isolated incident.
They're a constant barrage designed to push us further into an authoritarian strongman state.

What a surprise: Russ Vought is breaking the law, and for what? To bend the knee to Trump and his billionaire buddies.
Ripping funding away from only blue states will raise utility bills for EVERYONE. It’s not rocket science.
Vought is unfit to serve in this or any administration.

Back in 2013, Trump said it was the President’s job to negotiate and avoid a shutdown. I don’t say this often, but he was right.
Now, Trump is running away from the health care crisis HE created and stonewalling bipartisan negotiations.
Failure of leadership on every level.
