Choosing to Let Kids Go Hungry

Wednesday, October 29, 2025

Popular Information's Judd Legum, Rebecca Crosby, and Noel Sims write about the false excuses the Republican controlled government gives for shutting down the government. Such as Democrats are working to get "health care for illegal immigrants" when millions of American citizens are about to lose their health care if the GOP pass their budget unchanged.

Republicans have been saying for years that they have Plan to replace the ACA... Moses Mike said the other day it would, "be ready in a few weeks".

It was MTG who noted that 'the Plan' was locked up in the Secure Area and she wasn't allowed to see it... because it still does not exist.

We might just end childhood obesity. Fingers crossed.

Joking about hungry kids is the kind of joke Eberly just doesn't care about.

Oh pls! Trump was going to have a bigger and better aca to replace obamacare in his first administration.

So you think the gop will drop an alternative Healthcare program?

We are still waiting on his first administration's obligations.

#10 who knew her approach would function by making the food unappealing enough they just threw it away instead.

There sure are going to be a bunch of republicans who want a "nanny state" to feed them.

42 million without SNAP, would be starving around 17 million children.

Your caloric meter adjusts from Palestinian to American so easily, right?

And the republican "christian" approach is to starve them til they're willing to eat trash.

#15 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2025-10-29 06:02 PM

All the Democrats have to do is give up free health insurance for illegals, but they'd rather poor American children go hungry instead.

#16 | Posted by visitor_ at 2025-10-29 08:26 PM

you keep saying that lie.

Republicans have been voting to open the government, what exactly do the Democrats want?

#18 | Posted by visitor_ at 2025-10-29 09:35 PM

to keep the ACA subsidies. uh duh.

- Republicans have been voting to open the government

No, they aren't even IN DC to vote.

Dems are there ready to votes, Trumpers can't be found.

#21 | Posted by Corky at 2025-10-29 10:01 PM

"Republicans have been voting to open the government"

They have?
Why?

What do Republicans think the government needs to be open for?
Why don't Republicans save us taxpayers some $$$ like they always promise and never do?

I am 100% convinced Boaz especially hates this guy because of how mother fudging African he is.

Look at that hair! And that untamed name. Boaz is the kind of old man that was around when I was a kid who became emotionally upset when they saw a man with long hair. Except it's blacks acting all Native that triggers him. I would bet ten thousand dollars on this, which is more than half of the fake money on my Bank of America State of California EBT card!

Aww man, wrong thread. No sense fixing it. Bet stands!

They shouldn't have sunsetted them in the first place. End the filibuster and pass a clean CR like the House did. Fight the ACA subsidy battle separately.

It was MTG who noted that 'the Plan' was locked up in the Secure Area and she wasn't allowed to see it... because it still does not exist.

You know things have gone sideways when MTG is a voice of reason for the Republican party.

Turns out eating well and getting processed junk out of kid's diets would do that.

Or are you not all that familiar with the topic?
