Over 5 million low-income Americans — including at least 1.5 million children — have lost access to food assistance due to Trump's SNAP cuts last year.
Most of the hardest hit states are traditionally Republican, resulting in growing hunger crises in states like Arizona.
The corruption is stunning. This deal "shields all the Trumps and their businesses not only from enforcement of any taxes they may have dodged, or enforcement of any fines or payments they may owe to the government, but from ‘any and all’ consequences for violating any federal criminal or civil law." And @JohnCornyn and @SenThomTillis are ok with this.

What this means is that Trump has stolen an estimated $100mm from US taxpayers by avoiding the pending audit of his filed returns.

This is an excellent point. We had reporters embed with us on multiple occasions. They went on raids. They were on air assaults. If you read their reports, you got a sense of what the war was really like for the men and women who fought it.
Now? We have to rely on the most dishonest administration in modern American history for the "news," and when reporters finally do get access to independent information, we find out that much of the administration's "news" was fake from the beginning.
One of my childhood friends was among them. Had definite risk factors, but refused to get vaccinated. (Imbibed a steady diet of Fox and right-wing news all day.) Got COVID, died in two days.
I can’t say it enough: House Democrats need to file an impeachment resolution against him NOW. It is a privileged resolution, one hour of debate on each side for each count. It only takes four Republicans to impeach his ass. Shine the spotlight on his monstrosity. Make ‘em vote.

@BreeSolstad Vatican 2 was a Godsend. You should study V2 and also lived in pre V2 times? You would have loved the way women really lived in those days. Instead you have it so glamorized. It was not.
@mfjlewis@DSDOConnor@JoshHochschild@jimmybustender A highly respected surgeon in Houston area did emergency heart surgery for a patient who refused to be vaccinated. The doctor contracted Covid and died. The doctor was vaccinated but a recent cancer survivor. I don’t respect people who don’t think of others.
A notepad in front of U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent reads "To Do Buy Japanese Yen $5-10 bil" as he participates in a cabinet meeting at Camp David.
The note, photographed at 11:33 EDT, came after Reuters earlier reported the Treasury had put banks on alert for a possible U.S. intervention in the market for Japan's currency.

"It is so comforting to know Trump trusts Xi and Putin. Trump’s obsequiousness is at least partly down to the extraordinary weakness of the US, a weakness he has to a large degree created...Allies look at the US as an unreliable and weakened partner."
