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.

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.

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.

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

- 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.

"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!

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.

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?

Just a reminder that the biological entity occupying the half-destroyed White House dismantled USAID and destroyed millions of dollars of food for hungry people in the Third World while he and his oligarch Republican cronies gorge themselves like deer ticks:
