Top Tweets for #brokenPromise

Republicans looked the country in the eye and made a promise. When they rewrote the food stamp program last year, they said children would not be touched. Pregnant women would not be touched. Families with young kids would not be touched. They said it on the House floor, on the record, in front of everyone. A year later we know the truth. More than 776,000 children have been cut off from food assistance. In the states that track participation by age, kids make up nearly half of everyone who lost benefits. These are kids who went to bed hungry because a politician wanted a talking point.  We must be a country that feeds its children. We used to believe that was the bare minimum. Take care of the kid who is hungry through no fault of their own. The people who broke that promise should have to answer for it, and in November they will. https://t.co/yZK7shO05q
