    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.

      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

      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.

        This whole administration: Better that 100 innocents suffer than that 1 innocent not suffer.

          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.

        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.

      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."

    I pointed this out on the Nextdoor app news post about this, and they immediately locked the post. My idiot neighbors are blaming the Ds for this, so I spoke up, which I don’t usually bother to do on Nextdoor. I suspect they also shadowbanned my comment.

      Ineffective - close your account and reopen on as a disaffected idiot republican. That allows you to start every comment with “I voted for Trump but…”

      Who is they? I don’t know how Nextdoor works, does it have groups that are moderated by whoever happens to set it up first? I’ve noticed some FB groups are run by total redhat airheads…I don’t really bother with FB, either, but hear about this kind of redhat-created drama secondhand.
