I've been dragging my heels waiting to see if they came up with any more guidance or visuals that clarify *waves vaguely at the guidelines* before I wrote about them, but I suppose I should know better than to expect anything but the bare minimum from this USDA.

Let us remind people that the Freedom Caucus just put WY healthcare in further jeopardy by slashing property taxes that fund emergency services & nationally, insurance may now be unaffordable for many.
This will make it harder to receive care, even for basics, let alone a pregnancy.

Why are we funding war when we can't even feed our own people? Why are we allowing leaders to prioritize hurting others over caring for our own?

We won't let our friends and neighbors go hungry! Pitch in to help us hit $10,000 for Food Bank of Wyoming — every $1 = 3 meals.

Barrasso, Lummis and Hageman could easily start negotiating with their Congressional colleagues so that federal employees could get paid and Wyomingites don't have to be denied heat or food.
But that would require effort.

Wyoming is starting to understand the ripple effects of the shutdown, and what it means to lose marketplace tax credits.

Lummis Barrasso & Hageman have been pretty clear they're not supportive of anyone who can't "pull themselves up by their bootstraps."
But here's the thing:
You can't think as well if you're hungry or constantly ill because you can't afford care.
Blaming people for policy decisions they make? 👎

"Cancel culture" getting out of hand.
If solving food insecurity was as easy as just not talking about it, we wouldn't be seeing people's visits to food banks increasing in lock step with things like higher grocery prices.
USDA needs to rethink its decision to collect food security data.

Part of my thoughts as we brace for more cruelty to come is what resources used to be federalized or globalized that we now need to overhaul and convert to local and community funded positions.
Many people on the ground are already doing the work, find them. Help them.
Don't reinvent the wheel.

Despite his recent barking, Barrasso consistently sides with cuts and hollowing out of federally funded public health initiatives. He voted to confirm RFK Jr and ignore his red flags.

Barrasso has the power as majority whip to get RFK Jr fired.
Instead, he gets some good soundbites saying he's "deeply concerned" about the gutting of the public health infrastructure in the US that puts millions at risk.
