Lafayette-based nonprofit lays out stakes in cuts to SNAP’s federal food support working their way through the Senate, heading toward a possible vote Monday
Their game is to reduce federal spending by pushing more of the burden onto states, which is not good news for all these red states currently subsidized by blue states. I fear that the pain that this inflicts will lead to even more jealousy and resentment of Blue America, the same envy that fueled MAGA, and even more malignant disunity. Pitting all against all is pretty much on-brand for the Orange Menace. What a hateful wretch!
You mean the Jim Banks who told the fired HHS worker that he probably deserved it? The Jim Banks who trolled a “town hall” for an absent Republican rep by sending donuts?

I can imagine Sen Jim Banks salivating at the thought of “sticking it to the Democrats” with cuts to social safety needs.
"the cruelty is the point"

Yeah, totally on brand for him.
Thank you for this important story, Dave. —Angie
