    A better source.
    https://www.politico.com/news/2025/11/09/trump-administration-tells-states-to-undo-full-snap-benefits-00643887

    USDA’s latest memo, sent Saturday to state directors of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, instructed states to deliver just 65 percent of benefits during the government shutdown and required those who already sent full payments to claw back that money.

    There really is no bottom to this administrations evil.

      It confirms my theory that they are desperately trying to implement the mass killing of people.

      The political violence they wanted isn’t happening. The dropping vaccine rates isn’t fast enough. And now people aren’t starving as they should be.

      That indicates to me that they are finding out just how hard it is to kill 268,000,000 people. It might have something to do with the fact that 268,000,000 are more than enough to keep themselves alive.

    It blows my mind that that ratfucked littlecoward of a traitor to America has actually managed to normalize starving citizens to his little criminal organization masquerading as “politicians”.

    He’s got them all on board doing shit they probably never would have believed they’d do when they started out.

    As someone from poor rural Midwest, I can tell you from first hand experience, that people have usually ran out of food stamps about 3 weeks into the month.
    Meaning, most people on snap are waiting for the first to get groceries because they don’t have anything.

    And now we are going on week 2 of the month.

    So for many. It’s now getting close to 3 weeks without food money.

    And with the rising food costs, I wouldn’t be surprised if people are running out of snap money closer to the midpoint of the month.

    So for them. It’s been 4 weeks

      He’s banking on many of them resorting to crime so he can say, “see! I told you!” and justify martial law and calling the nations guard to come down hard on American citizens.

        “quite literally” would mean there are federal officers or agents in people’s homes scraping chewed food out of children’s mouths.

        I think you mean “virtually taking food BACK out of their mouths.”
