People need food. Market won’t provide it. Government should. It’s literally the whole point.
Turns out Mamdani's controversial proposal for government-run supermarkets isn't so novel. Other cities also are toying with the idea to bring fresh, affordable food to communities that do not have easy access to it. Good WSJ read (gift link)

The goal is for the store to become profitable without any government subsidy within three years.

SNAP has existed for 60 years. Benefits have gone out every single month over those six decades, including during government shutdowns. Until now.
Make no mistake: The money is available to fund SNAP during this shutdown. Trump is making a choice to withhold it.
Don’t forget this.

The Trump administration will make millions suffer, treating people who need SNAP as pawns in the regime's power game
As the Trump administration illegally withholds food assistance from 42 million Americans, it's also telling stores it's against the law for them to provide discounts to those struggling after being robbed of their benefits.
USDA Tells Grocery Stores They Can't Give Discounts to People Hit by Trump's Food Stamp Freeze
"Can't follow the law when a judge says fund the program, but have to follow the rules exactly when they say don't help poor people afford food," one lawyer said.

Our entire system of government is crumbling under Republican determination to protect the pedophiles in the Epstein files.
Adelita Grijalva now holds the record for longest delay between winng a special Congressional election and being sworn into office.
Why the delay from Mike Johnson?
Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

Sometimes people think they "get it" because they've heard about it. They don't.
Don’t forget the stress from the looming threat of being evicted.
The wealthy either don’t care, don’t register the struggle, or think people enduring it deserve it bc “they’re lazy.” Meanwhile they’re working multiple jobs just to keep a roof over their head.
Cruelty to the poor rustles me bad.

This is reality for a lot of Americans. People who have never struggled will never really understand.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.
Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.
Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.
It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.
It’s about priorities.

Your daily reminder that Trump absolutely can fund SNAP through contingency funds.
He absolutely can prevent 42 million Americans — including 20 million children — from going hungry next month.
He is choosing not to. Don’t let him lie his way out of this.
