The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

President Trump has chosen to take food away from nearly 42 million Americans.
These funds have been appropriated by Congress, and the President’s decision to withhold the money is unconscionable, egregious and illegal.
I am calling on the President to do the right thing and follow the law.

The Trump Admin has the money, resources and legal responsibility to fund SNAP in November, yet they refuse to do so.
Roughly 40% of SNAP recipients are children.
It’s time for Sec. Rollins to stop playing politics and tap into the $5 billion contingency SNAP fund to feed our kids.
