#Trump has launched us into what could be another costly and deadly forever war. It is costing the U.S. at least $1 billion a day.
Meanwhile, he and Republicans are slashing #taxes on the wealthiest Americans.
How are they doing both? By making devastating cuts to #foodassistance programs that help millions of people — and lying about what these programs actually do.

The request came about 2 weeks ago from top lawyers working for fmr personal #Trump atty DAG #ToddBlanche. They “asked” the #FBI to initiate “investigations” into whether money obtained illegally for organizations, such as #FoodAssistance #charities & home #healthcare centers, went to the campaigns, acc/to the source.
The public corruption section at the #FBI told Blanche’s office that it is looking, but HASN’T yet FOUND EVIDENCE of campaign wrongdoing.

In the 4-min interview, Mei said she & her co-workers are “anxious because we’re hearing about the risk potentials & office closures that are looming over #USDA as this #shutdown kind of drags on.” She also explained that funding for key #FoodAssistance programs, including #SNAP — which feeds ~42M Americans monthly — would probably be available in October, but that “things might get a little dicey if this drags on into November.”
[gee such a fireable offense!]

By Scott Clement, Dan Balz and Andrew Ba Tran
Americans broadly disapprove of how President Donald Trump is handling his job, and a majority say he has gone too far in exercising the powers of his office, according to a Washington Post-ABC News-Ipsos poll. But a year out from the 2026 midterm elections, there is little evidence that negative impressions of Trump’s performance have accrued to the benefit of the Democratic Party, with voters split almost evenly in their support for Democrats and Republicans.
Overall, 41 percent of Americans say they approve of the job Trump is doing, while 59 percent disapprove. That level of disapproval is the highest in a Post-ABC poll since January 2021, a week after the attack on the Capitol. Trump’s support among self-identified Republicans remains strong at 86 percent, while 95 percent of Democrats disapprove. Among independents, Trump’s approval rating is 30 percent, while his disapproval mark is 69 percent.
Across eight issues that include the economy, immigration, tariffs, managing the federal government, crime, and conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine, most Americans say they disapprove of how he is handling each of them. The narrowest disapproval among these is on the situation with Israel and Gaza, but still a 52 percent majority say they disapprove.
Trump has governed primarily through executive orders, setting out controversial policies affecting the federal government, the nation’s electoral system, the private sector and academia, among others. These orders have drawn multiple lawsuits challenging his authority. Many of the suits are still being adjudicated, with the Supreme Court destined to be the final arbiter in setting the boundaries for executive power.

"Judge questions the Trump administration’s plan to suspend SNAP benefits for millions"
https://apnews.com/article/snap-food-aid-ruling-shutdown-trump-09f9807264385f0beab61a68dcbbdd66
"A federal judge … seemed skeptical of the Trump’s administration’s argument that SNAP benefits could be suspended for the first time in the food aid program’s history because of the government shutdown"
The judge "seemed to be leaning toward requiring the government to put billions of dollars in emergency funds toward SNAP."
