More than 4.7 million people nationwide have lost their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, also known as food stamps, since Trump's signature tax and spending law took effect last July, according to data through March from the Department of Agriculture -- about 11% of participants.

Most people on food stamps are people who work jobs that do not pay enough for them to live.

But hey, tax cuts for Trump were more important.

Hurting the poor is what conservatives vote for.

It brings joy to their miserable, worthless lives, to know they're the cause of others suffering.

Corporations paying a Living Wage is SO pre-Reagan.

Now, not only do Corporations get away with that, they also write their own Tax Laws, Workplace Laws, Environmental Laws... and the Laws that take money from the Workers they aren't paying enough to survive.

Good Times to be a Corporation.

And America wastes billions and billions of dollars killing Muslims in the Middle East: Islamophobia is starving Americans and still no universal healthcare for us

I'm sure glad the 2024 Democratic Party didn't ignore the thousands of nationwide protests against Israel's genocidal campaign in Gaza, carefully listening to those tens of millions of vocal pacifists, antiwar Samaritans, and pro-Palestinian volunteers throughout all of 2024.

The antiwar bloc had so many progressive speakers at the 2024 DNC convention in Chicago that I couldn't keep track of them all.

The DNC taught a master class of how to enlarge the "Big Tent" to include the far left, securing the necessary bloc of 7,371,247 antiwar voters on Tuesday 5 Nov 2024 to maintain their incumbency.

Yes indeed, I'm sure glad the 2024 Democrats didn't repeat the strategic mistake of Hubert Humphrey and Ed Muskie when those 1968 Democrats vowed to continue supporting the murderous Saigon regime and sending our brave young men into harm's way in the jungles of Vietnam.

Just imagine how awful the country would be today if the 2024 Democrats hadn't listened to those tens of millions of antiwar Samaritans?

Trump probably thinks people were licking them for their nutritional value.

Such "compassion" for the helpless mustn't go unrewarded.

DNC and GOP fear voters indicated with every "compassionate" legislation passed.

Should we survive, this next election will be a killing field.

Polymarket chances their collapse happens sooner than later.

We all know what this is about. States milking the Federal Government on these assistance programs are going to be penalized.

We've already went through this line-for-line a couple weeks ago. But Corky intends to double down on stupid.
