Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Oligarchy wants people to suffer, to break spirits and get us to submit to oppression. Start with the most vulnerable and work their way up. You little millionaires are safe for now but not forever- they will take it all from you and you’ll be just like the people you refuse to stand up for now

Trump will not let SNAP go unfunded. He will pull one of his "heroic" 11th hour proclamations and declare he had to do what the Democrats wouldn't do. His zombie followers will applaud and revere him and intelligent people will know that the Dem's got screwed again.

They literally have propaganda on the podium at press conferences trying to blame Democrats for the shut down. We MUST keep repeating that THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRAT ISSUE, THIS IS AN AUTHORITARIAN ISSUE. Props to Welch for being vocal about it upfront. Need more of it until this shit is over.

Dems could not use starving people as leverage (not that they would) because, sadly, R legislators apparently wouldn't care. I don't say that to be divisive, l say that because the current situation has made it evident.

Stuart Stevens former Republican, "It was all a lie" GOP now the MAGA GOP it is all about White Supremacy and ruling over and dominating people with cruelty.

To make it worse, Trump is encouraging homelessness by raising the price of lumber and construction. What do you think those immigrants used to do, largely? And homeless will be rounded up and put in camps on the outskirts of town. Locked camps. With little running water and no food or electric.

Just polite hand wringing by a bunch of old people. With this messaging, it’s no wonder people have no faith in democrats. It’s pathetic and doesn’t even come close to meeting the moment.

Why won’t the Republicans opened the government back up if they have control of the house and the Senate? Oh wait, they’re protecting pedophiles. And look at this one. He’s a great advertisement for Maga.

I wish I shared your sentiment that starving people is going to hurt Republicans in the midterms. Their followers will vote for them again. Somehow they’ll be convinced that this is the Democrats’ fault.

F47 might be planning to use widespread food shortages and starvation as a means to provoke riots so he can declare martial law and put the military on our streets and suspend elections. It's been done before in history, could be done here now.

That 40 billion is corrupt money from the US government to steal the oil and other resources from Venezuelan citizens . To be split between trump , the oil companies, and the corrupt politicians of Venezuela . Not to save the Venezuelan citzens.

Yeah, Donald is wanting Democrats to cave and they DO NOT need to CAVE. Democrat leadership need to do some Ball Busting just like their counterpart MAGA FASCIST REGIME. ALSO: RELEASE THE JEFFREY EPSTEIN FILES DONALD!

The fact that Trump is choosing to starve people when he could simply allow existing funds to pay for SNAP feels like a goddamn easy story for the media to report but apparently the entire media is just a collection of 3 craven children in a trench coat.

STOP PAYING FEDERAL TAXES. Don’t file a Federal Tax Return in 2026. The regime counts on millions to pay federal taxes for benefits that will not be granted through social programs. Change your status on your payroll. Cut them off. Don’t file your taxes in 2026. This regime is starving the poor.

God has siblings on the inside, MAGA Look@Your most vocal attack dog turned on You🚫For Me/Even GOD for Jesus.

Actually he makes a must nicer looking old lady than the old man he is as himself. I wonder if he hasn't tried on a wig, donned some jewels and powdered his face when he's alone in his lair at night. And my guess is he's alone every night.

1 in every 5 people in Louisiana are receiving SNAP benefits. You have to blame the residents, they constantly vote the same MAGA into office and they will never give them a raise, why should they, they have control of those on SNAP!

A decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry." 🎯 Senator Welch just exposed the lie. The money for SNAP exists. The claim that the shutdown forces a halt to food aid is a political defense for a humanitarian attack. #HungerGames #EndTheShutdown #FoodNotFuss

The level of coordination between Russian bots/trolls and republican mouthpieces who have obviously received the same talking points is something to behold over on the hellscape ex-twitter site. Can't see five posts without some mouthbreather upset that somewhere, someone has gotten government help

Cruelty is the point Control is the point History will remember him as it remembers Idi Amin—The Butcher. Amin butchered 300,000 of his countrymen Because of his cruelty, Amin fled into exile As he lay dying, his wife begged that he be allowed to return home He was denied I'd ❤️that for don

and the VP's main focus is Erika Kirk is Erika Kirk coming between Cincinnati's VP JD Vance and his wife Usha? #usha #jdvance #vicepresident #cincinnati #ushavance #republicans #democrats #gop #maga #ohio #cheaters #trump #melania #divorce

Yep. Poop-Shooter is literally telling workers, “you do not matter.” Thus people who get SNAP funds to compensate for low wages paid buy huge corporations like Amazon, will not have resources for food! And Oligarchs get more and more breaks. They are the ones on public well fare.

True, the Republican Party was infiltrated by the Federalist Society not long after WWII. However the police were infiltrated starting in the late 1950’s. Our Military was seeing it in the 60’s. To be clear, not all Republicans, Police,or military are fascists. But they have increased. A good read:

Why aren't farmers making noise right now?? They profit from SNAP. They could possibly have some sway with the Cruelest Most Corrupt American Ever. Yheir silence is disgusting. 🤬🤬🤬 #FiftyShadesOfCorruption sway with Black Heart

Don’t forget about 1 million a day for National Guard to patrol cities like Portland, LA, Memphis, DC, Baltimore and New Orleans. But sorry no money for the poor working class.

NG have been federalized but not activated in Portland (except now there is talk the Trump regime deployed them in contempt of a TRO court order).

It’s TSF that is stopping SNAP payments. Does this make your day MAGA CULT?? So you are willing to go without food for your family just to make “LIBS” lives miserable? Well how does it feel that TSF has cut off MAGAs food also? MAGA CULT YOU PICKED A MENTALLY UNHINGED PERSON TO BE IN THE WH!!

Every Democrat should be saying this all day and every day. The people using SNAP benefits are the working poor, the elderly, the disabled, and children. The Democrats need to pound this message home repeatedly. The president is starving people because he wants them to go hungry.

Absolutely because right now Republicans are DEMONIZING SNAP recipients, calling them "lazy and entitled" and implying they are 300 pounds and don't want to work. It's DISGUSTING how Republicans treat the poor. UTTERLY DISGUSTING.

Hey @schumer.senate.gov @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social Grab a mic and get in front of a camera Every.Single.Day How about talking to the woman in the video below, who is *working without pay*, but needs to feed her family CC: @aoc.bsky.social @jasmineforus.bsky.social bsky.app/profile/cweb...

There should never be shame in needing help from a food pantry. But this is gut-wrenching: working every day, not getting paid for weeks, and needing a food pantry you didn’t need before. What’s shameful is that this is completely avoidable. Republicans need to get back to DC and negotiate.

ligarchy wants people to suffer, to break spirits and get us to submit to oppression. Start with the most vulnerable and work their way up. You little millionaires are safe for now but not forever- they will take it all from you and you’ll be just like the people you refuse to stand up for now

Fox News? Then immediately before and after that interview you can bet there was all sorts of false bs blaming Dems for this woman’s ( and all of our?) tears I’m surprised the chevron didn’t name her a victim of Dems

FOX is the propaganda channel if the Trump administration; not a “news channel”. they are not giving people the news. They are lying to people by manipulating the stories in the news to mean something other than what they really mean.

He is i see him everyday on one channel or the other beating the drum about this democrats are handcuffed he is doing the best he can under the circumstances the government is in at the moment Republicans refuse to negotiate so lets put the blame where it belongs

I give to the Chicago Food Bank. Nobody wants to go to a food bank because it feels shameful. When I grew up my family was often short on food and more than once I saw my mother cry when she received help. It broke my heart but we must give just as we sometimes must receive.

They are Republicans are ignoring them and trying to turn the tables as Healthcare premiums come in voters will see this obviously Healthcare isn't on the republican agenda with the price being paid by everyday Americans wake up vote accordingly

Trump and the Republicans are selfish and greedy, they don't care if elderly, disabled, and children starve to death. The Republicans and Trump is starving people, because he wants them to die of starvation. The Republicans and Trump have no compassion for anyone. 🇺🇸 (Dallas, Texas)

It truly is not enough to say just that. The Democrats need a vision beyond the shutdown - Trump is starving SNAP receipients and the Dems will make sure that SNAP is restablished and more.

Its not just the Republicans though. Its bot lh parties are gulity. Stop blaming one side its both sides sharing equal blame. But im just a dumb federal employee working without pay trying to feed my family i dont know nothing.

Trump is one of those psychopaths who threatens to "kill the kitten" if his demands are not met. A genuine psychopath who couldn't care less if people starve ...and his followers call themselves "Christians"🙄

At the last minute tomorrow, TACO is going to announce that he has "found" the funds and will, out of the kindness of his big beautiful heart, ensure that SNAP benefits are available in spite of Democrat efforts to starve children. I would put money on that.

Billionaires Benefits are Through the Roof They are feeding like Vampires Grifting our Nation But food for the people? Republicans only serve the Rich And they’ll let us all starve so they can continue to feed the Rich

By far and large they voted for him so... What are ya gonna do? But remember too what he said, "you won't have to vote again," and he means it.

There is method to the current US madness. The well known AI and robotics guru’s are preparing for a new society. When ordinary workers become obsolete there is no point in feeding them or healing them. They only use up ressources. Snap, healthcare and farming become superfluous. Did anyone notice?

It's all about bully tactics. No negotiation. No compromise. No reasonable debate. Just cause untold harm to innocent citizens to try to force Democrats to back down and surrender to the bullies. It's cruel, immoral, fascist, unAmerican behavior on the part of the Republicans.

Backed by every republican member of congress you should add Republicans have a history of denying Healthcare to Americans there is too much shady money to be made which wouldn't be available with universal Healthcare

Trump is on record saying he is using the Shutdown to illegally end programs that he wants because Ds might want them, he is not paying who he wants because they might be Ds, and in court cases one after another he is using the US SC Immunity Decision as his validity.

TRUMP DOESN'T CARE, he only cares if it affects him. People NEED to realize this. He is destroying our government for his benefit and we have the facts! MAGA is just in denial at this point.

I’m tired of the media ignoring Trump’s illegal acts. ‘Trump to Raise Tariffs’. ‘Trump to Lower Tariffs’. These acts are illegal. The correct headline is: ‘The Wannabe Dictator illegally Raises Tariffs While the Cowards in the Senate Abdicate Their Responsibility’. Same with SNAP, ICE Thugs….
