More from Donald Trump, Friend of the American Working Class

Trump once again shows his genuine hate for the poor:
The Trump administration told states that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the chaos and uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown.
The Agriculture Department issued the command in a late-night Saturday memo, viewed later by The New York Times. That guidance threatened to impose financial penalties on states that did not “comply” quickly with the government’s new orders.
By Sunday morning, officials in several states said they were unsure how the latest directive from the Trump administration would affect the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, known as SNAP. The program, which serves one in eight Americans, has already faced staggering disruptions in recent days, as President Trump and his top aides have refused to fund it fully while the government remains closed.
Some of the roughly 42 million families enrolled in SNAP began to receive their full benefits on Friday, after a federal judge ordered the Trump administration to fully fund the program this month amid the shutdown. States like New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin raced to release the aid to residents, some of whom had been without nutrition assistance for days.
The answer here is obviously to tell Trump to fuck off. It’s quite clear that he what he wants is a dictatorship where blue states must follow his orders on all issues. And in this case, his orders are to starve the poor. There’s no good reason for Democrats to make a deal to open the government, because it’s pretty clear that Trump and Bessent and all the other evil bastards in this administration are simply not going to fund SNAP anymore no matter what.
