    Imagine fighting to not feed people.

    What a look for the Republicans.

    We’ve always known this is what their policies really are about, at root. But this is just so mask-off terrible.

      Benjamin Franklin: It is better that 100 guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.

      Donald Trump: It is better that 100 innocents starve than that one grifter eat cake.

          And millions of their supporters. As long as they think their government is punching down on “those” people (and that they get license to do so at least a little bit, too, without any repercussions) and that people like Pedonald are unleashing people to “own the libs”. I think some would be even fine with going without a few meals just to make it happen, if you want to be honest.

            This right here is why it is so important to stop spending time and energy trying to reach trump voters.

            Their single voter issue is “hurting the right people” and the “right people” is you.

            The people who need to be reached are the people who don’t pay attention to the news.

            The people who need to be supported are the local people you know affected by this, and the Democrats, because they (along with continued support whilst using primaries, local and state politics to shift them left from within), are the only pragmatic way to unfuck the situation.

        Well, these days it is caviar vs cake, given right-wing hysteria over things like caviar (and before that, steak and lobster) and hair weaves and getting nails done.

      I wanna see how many non-voters and new former MAGA to vote WAAAAAY differently

      Decent amount of people from MAGA side all over the country are moving away from them. But who knows how many have seen the truth? I’m more hopeful when going all over the internet seeing people talk about MAGA voters they know not being on MAGA side anymore

      The headline is confusing, the article says the opposite of what you say. "The Trump administration is begging the Supreme Court to block an order requiring them to immediately release SNAP benefits,” Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries said on X on Friday. “Meanwhile. Millions of hungry Americans are at risk of starving. These extremists are sick people.”

      Minority Whip Katherine Clark (D-Mass.) also decried the pause, suggesting that Democrats would push back on the added delay to funding the program."
