A Trump administration proposal aims to tighten income and asset requirements for federal food assistance, potentially causing more than 6 million Americans to lose SNAP benefits and threatening access to free school meals.
The post Trump Administration Moves to Cut Food Stamps for 6.3 Million Americans, Threatening Children’s School Meals appeared first on The Washington Informer.
Didn’t they already do this? Just be honest and tell us you want us to starve. Goddamn. I lost my food stamps because of their bullshit.
$700 to feed my family, gone. Between rent and bills, we are barely making it.
Thank God my son’s school has a program that sends food home with him on weekends. Atleast he will eat.
$700 to feed my family, gone.
steak and shrimp, amirite?
Because of Poe’s Law, I do have to clarify that I am being EXTREMELY fucking sarcastic. I’m sorry for your struggles. I have lots of struggles of my own, but food security is not one of them, thankfully. I’m sorry <3
I hope the Dems are able to do more than we fear they won’t and are able to fix some of this shit.
Fuck fascism.
Hell, I won’t lie. On special days like my partners birthday, hell yeah
I could buy like 8lbs of crab legs for $119. That would last us 3 days of eating, plus if we use it for other meals.
Compared to going to a restaurant and paying that for a 1-2lb bag each.
I have no shame in saying we would get things to make life bearable.
Plus it helped my son try different things. It didn’t just feed us, it made us feel like things were going to be okay.
But yes. Fuck fascism. It’s the bane of any species.

As I’ve become more disabled over the years, I’ve learned that there is something that a lot of people with disabilities think: “Am I disabled enough?”
I’m a wheelchair user. I can just manage to put my wheelchair in the trunk and get to and from the driver’s seat. I didn’t have a placard for a good while because it just felt weird parking in handicapped parking. I often queestion myself: Do I need this accommodation?
It’s apparently a common question.
The reason I bring that up is that the fucking backwards austerity religious bullshit in this country has led to a “Can Do” attitude that in and of itself is fine and sometimes helpful, but leads to people feeling guilty for needing help to feed their kids and bullshit like that.
Everyone deserves to eat. And, like, not gruel. Sure, maybe not steak and lobster or whatever, but people deserve to eat good food and not work 100 hours and get help with healthcare and other things.
Life being bearable is the barest minimum standard above “being kept alive at the pleasure of others on their whims”.
That’s horrible :( maybe food banks can help you guys? I’ve been trying to donate as much as I can to my local one. Countless families like yours struggling so much, it’s infuriating to watch these fat cats surrender to greed.
That’s kind of you that you help. We have used em a couple of times. The biggest problem is how far they are from us. We count the miles on our car and repair when we need to. Being poor is an art that I’m sure a lot of folks on here can relate.
If they paid you for all the extra work you have to do when you’re poor, you wouldn’t be.
What an absolute asshole move.
An appropriate move for an asshole, so that’s that.
Republicans are angry at the idea of people who may not need it taking advantage of social programs, yet they’re okay with rich people taking things they don’t need
It always baffled me, yeah there will always be some that abuse the system. But idc about the <1% that do vs the 99+% that get helped and make society better as a whole because of it.
When they’re like “wHaT if a h0mELeSs cRACkheAd taKEs yoUR TaX m0nEY” and I’m just like “okay, so what if they do?” It literally just doesn’t bother me at all.
What if a billionaire crackhead takes your money
That actually bothers me much more. 😂
And its not like the homeless problem is free either, so in a way they already did. But now without making anyones lives better.
They’re dumb, not just at ethics but math too.
The only thing that brings joy to a conservative’s heart is the suffering of the vulnerable.
Conservatives are truly, deeply evil. It is immoral to maintain a relationship with a conservative.
Didn’t Mike Johnson say that it’s a tragedy people voted D instead of R and so the current administration are unable to ‘deliver to the people ‘? Is that what this means?
Apparently the definition of “waste, fraud, and abuse” according to conservatives is…you being able to eat.
YouThose people being able toeatlive.They want to genocide and they’re slowly building up to it.
It’s more like classicide but yes.
More predictable low level scumbag behavior from the GOP, the sick fucks.
They’re trying to incite violence so they can use the insurrection act.
Then they will turn around and say “we lifted 7 million people out of poverty”
I cannot understand a government that compulses kids to attend school, and then refuses to feed them while they are in school custody.
They killed Sesame Street and now fhis
Cruelty is the point.
America is doing great! – says man who has never worked a day in his life, yet somehow brought in billions of dollars into his own bank account over the last two years. Hmm…
Why can’t they just GO AWAY!
An infestation of conservatives cannot be cured peacefully.
Conservatives are the single greatest threat to all life on earth and need to be dealt with as such.
They’re trying to go to mars, I say we help them on the way. Tomorrow if possible.
These fuckers piss away vast sums of money on their own causes, funnel public money to themselves, then do shit like this. These people deserve to die horribly. I would love to see a couple of million people swamp DC, crash the Whitehouse and stomp Trump’s guts out.
