The Trump administration told states on Saturday that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown. In late-night guidance seen by The New York Times, the Agriculture Department also threatened financial penalties against states.

Why is feeding people political? What value add is forcing people to starve? Monsters.

    Starving people out is the best reason to start fighting. I hope people start fighting back. This makes me so angry holy man.

      And when we fight, the insurrection act is invoked, and when it’s invoked, martial law, then I don’t know what. Maybe civil war?

      Edit: Material, martial, I can’t spell…

        “A material, a material … fuck it, whatever.”

        “Martial” is what you were going for here, as is the junta.

          Lol. I think I fucked it up so bad that spell check was just guessing.

          I transpose letters and numbers constantly.

          Thanks!

            I’m much more familiar with the “marital” error (as evidenced by two divorces). It’s one of those errors every journalist makes at least once, unlike “pubic” – which is only made once! 🤣
