Donald Trump orders states stop paying full SNAP benefits, Reagan judge resigns to speak out against Trump, Trump feels increasingly isolated as Republicans begin to ignore him, and more
Trump and his buddies do not care about Americans’ ability to eat or not. He’s not America First, it is his way of getting revenge. This is a sick, egotistical and narcissistic president who can’t stand to lose or negotiate, clearly not a president for all. My guess is that he moved that money to enlarge his viscious ICE personnel and increase their payoffs while building more concentration camps
Totally agree that DJT is very sick and mean! Think of how he reacted to the man fainting in the oval office. ZILCH empathy!!! He not only has no empathy for the people on SNAP, he would love to write them off as a bad investment of 'HIS money' because that is how he sees all of the funds that he has power over now that Congress has ceded their Power of the Purse to him. They are very sick, too! I can only hope that each state will do what they can to provide food and meals to all SNAP beneficiaries, Many of these people do not drive or have a way to go to food banks because of limited mobility. And many of these 'people' are kids!!! We need to give-up on DJT understanding and dive in and help each of these people as best we can locally!! 'WE the PEOPLE' can do what DJT cannot!
Truly thought that would bring him down! It so openly displayed his inhumanity and ignorance. Then I heard how he told his nephew to stop paying for his son's care. A child born with sever complications. That is Trump!!! Take, but never give!!
You're probably right that some of this is his revenge for "No Kings" and election losses. When Hitler knew that the days of the Reich were numbered, he wanted to burn the crops in Germany to punish the people for not living up to his ideal of a master race that could conquer all enemies. Like any megalomaniac, he never thought to look in the mirror to find the fool who thought he could fight wars on three fronts, against larger nations.
the man is clearly to me an undiagnosed sociopath because he has killed by proxy & this is true of pathological personality types like psychopaths & sociopaths, they are unable to feel things like compassion & empathy & while they know right from wrong they just don't care as said in a documentary on the criminal mind, is it nature or nurture I watched some years back plus, not for nothing, he just plain enjoys tormenting & abusing people but, the majority in this country thought this twisted freak of a man a better choice just because good character & integrity came with tits & a pussy so, no one wanted any parts of it & went for the malicious freak instead haven't you noticed how delighted he gets when he's hurt someone?
Some always will be. You will never get 100% of people to see clearly and we shouldn't wring our hands about this, but just work to make them an ever smaller minority.
I believe there many of his supporters just like him. They agree with everything he's doing unless it impacts them personally. Even then, many say they agree with everything he's doing except what is impacting them. So very selfish and uncaring.
We must stop worrying about his cult and seize the moment at hand like never before to keep reminding people how cruel and evil this administration. We can win their hearts and minds. Who cares about his dwindling followers. They are waking up. We have even seen a change in Marjorie Taylor Greene which was shocking. She knows how many people will immediately lose their medical insurance if democrats don't stand firm.
Though I do think some of the MAGA crowd are feeling the financial pinch of DJT reign, and starting to move away from him, I will have to see a much longer track record to trust MTG. IMO she's likely to go with any way the wind blows.
When MTG finally broke re: Healthcare, I was in total shock. I do not like anything about her. I hope the voters in her district rid themselves of her.
As witnessed by the thumbs down and middle fingers up that we still get at our weekly protests. Fewer than, say 3 months ago, but still too many. Enough to say our fight is not anywhere close to being over yet. Not anywhere close.
I saw 60 minutes tonight & those farmers are still in love with him although many are in danger of losing their farms it was, " we'll see how things shake out" & " he knows what he's doing" so, it's true, you can't fix stupid & because that is the majority in this country we are stuck on it right along with them
No one can tell the unhinged conman anything. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself. This four year stint is all about revenge and retribution. Maybe he’ll drop dead on the golf course 🤞
I think only the most culty of the MAGA cult are strongly behind Trump. That can't be more than 15-20% of the population. Another 15% probably have mixed emotion, but the nation can't stand him right now as a whole!
Last week elections should have been a wake-up call for Republicans. Instead, the administration is responding in the only way it knows how: causing more misery for millions of Americans.
Wake up MAGA! Trump lied to you with promises he’ll never keep. He used you to get elected. Now he’s partying while you and your family scrounge for food.
Sadly, the diehard MAGA base is just too ignorant to be swayed by reality... 🤦♀️
They will stay dumb, they'd still vote for Trump. They will forgive him EVERYTHING.
That's why you will trigger them if you wear these kinds of shirts 👇
Yes me too! I don't enjoy seeing friends and relatives who depend on SNAP for a good reason have to suffer. If Trump had to go without his fried chicken i’m sure he would not be happy!
We KNOW! Anyone with half a functioning brain cell KNOWS - had known since 2016. Sadly, we have literally tens of millions who, apparently, do not have half a functioning brain cell.
He never should be in office sad. I never thought I would see any of this shit happening. Im so fucking sick of the Republican politicians and all there fucking lies and nobody doing anything about it
too little, too late because now we're stuck & you know he's not going to peacefully when it's time to leave & he has another shot at staging a coup & maybe getting it right this time, why in hell would people do this?!
Imo, the endgame is civil unrest. It’s not enough that activists are hitting the streets. This administration wants to stretch our society to its brink, because desperate people do desperate things. They haven’t been able to provoke violence so they are ramping up until they do - and then they’ll declare martial law and remain in power indefinitely.
Yup, had a local Scouting for Food drive in my small (pop. of maybe 24,000) community. The Scouts collected 32,400 pounds of food for our local food bank. So proud of my neighbors!
His entire endgame is to dismantle government altogether. He and his tech-oligarchy feel that they should lead the country. They believe that democracy is for losers. Beware.
Then we must hold the line and not rise to their taunting. Martial law would be the absolute worse thing to happen. We must protect our country from these fascists
I am beyond pissed and fed up. We need to stop this. Isn't there any legal arm in our fucking diminished pussy government that can step in?? Can “We thd people collectively file a class action suit sgainst this asshole? Bigger question…why has this been allowed to happen? Are we all prisoners of the great orange turd's whims? I fucking do not understand this. Yay great …get the word out…how is that working for us?
ive heard multiple people ask this! "Can We the people collectively file a class action suit sgainst this asshole?" And from what I've heard as a response, yes...but I don't know any lawyers and DOJ/SCOTUS are corrupt AF so it feels helpless
Yes, agree completely. While it’s tempting, don’t take the bait. Peaceful protest and helping each other plus vote these incompetent criminals out (assuming we can still vote…). I live in hope for the day that these psychopaths are prosecuted to the full extent of the law (or worse).
Yep! That’s the plan, and has been all along. Kidnap our friends/family/neighbors & terrorize our communities…hoping it turns to violence so they can declare martial law & shut down elections before Nov 2026.
This is exactly what I have been saying all along. They are trying to get people to act the way DJT 🫏 has portrayed the citizens in Washington DC, Portland Oregon, Los Angeles California and Chicago Illinois as criminals, causing violence everywhere. If he is successful with this ill conceived plan, he will declare an insurrection and be able to cancel elections in this country. He is not be bright enough to come up with this plan but whoever is pulling his strings is.
Hi Margaret, you wrote exactly what they're doing. They want us desperate and chaotic so we can't see the even MORE evil bullshit that they're planning.
It does start to look like that. Trump's an apex predator, boxed into a corner, and he has magnetized other predators around him who will willingly carry out orders. I don't believe that he can think that far ahead, but his enablers can. They want to end our power, period.
Those elections last week should have been sobering for Republicans, certainly the governors. Because they have to pick up the shit as the Trump Parade marches relentlessly along. Curse John Roberts for that immunity decision.
This is coming to a head. Personally, I pray for an impeachment so that we can get the whole damn crew out of power.
In the meantime, boycott ANY corporation which has supported the Trump Evil.
But tRump can singlehandedly send 40 Billion dollars to Argentina with no authority or reason. Why do we continue to allow this criminality against the American tax payers to continue.
When do we stop funding these criminals to destroy America and the American people😏
I’m starting to believe the theory that it’s been spent. I don’t think Trump knew at first since he’s not running the show and they are telling him everything is going great.
Unfortunately, I think you're right. At first, I thought that it couldn't be true, but then I reminded myself who is in office, the Rapist-In-Thief, and his authoritarian regime of cult members. They lie, steal, sexually assault, protect pedophiles, and do all this with shiny crosses around their necks.
And utter impunity. The legal system is driving me crazy. (IMO, our bench and bar took entirely too long to speak out..) The level of corruption of the right wing of SCOTUS is astounding. How are they driven out?🤔
It's money laundering scheme as usual for Trump construction projects. Raise the projected cost of construction a few billion, get the funds & pocket the leftover money. He's done it for years including refusal to pay contractors after work was completed & signed off. He ruined many small business contractors over the years.
I've been saying this from the beginning. I think doge redirected the SNAP contingency fund to Elons self appointed additional government contracts or to some other billionaires pocket change. Likely happened the same time that USAID funds providing food, medical care & medications to African countries were pulled back & stopped causing the death of thousands of people in the first month alone. That was the beginning of what is now happening right here at home & they think we are going to make excuses, swallow the lies & threats, do nothing & cheer as maga did because those people weren't the correct religion or the correct skin color for them to even think about having any compassion what so ever for other human beings. The pro life mantra & survival of a fetus even at the expense of the life of the woman carrying it, providing feeding, medical care & medicine to the living infant & child is too much for them & beyond their red line. It's only that fetus that matters because its all about controlling women & the population. Abortion is a mortal sin to the religious christian nationalist hypocrites where Christianity is nowhere to be found but I guess denying food, healthcare & medicine to purposefully kill the living infant, children, disabled, elderly & working poor including lower ranking enlisted military members & their families is just fine with their manufactured god & golden calf who is the very worse among us that they worship & cheer for advicating starvation & disease. All while Trump goes golfing at 3.5 million per trip & throwing lavish parties for his rich friends at his social club at the expense of taxpayers, stealing money from the US Treasury with the assistance of billionaire syncophant Scott Bessent & propping up the stock market by infusing 1.5 trillion dollars into it & telling people see... the market is booming all under the lies of his golden age of making Murika great again. Great again for the rich 1% by trillions of taxpayers money transferred to them, their corporations & to hell with everyone else. Make it make sense.
I do not mean to be flip, but Michael Che’s comment on SNL weekend update that the food supply issue can be solved with the second amendment is not exactly a joke. People will do what they need to feed their families.
Is it still available? Looks like they’re selling the book now. I just checked. I downloaded it to my Files app last year because I had a feeling it wouldn’t be available after a while.
When I was campaigning for Harris I was laughed at ,when I bought up Project 2025 I begged people to read it. They had no idea they were getting duped and lied too. Because they accomplished atleast more than hall of the bullet points on the project agenda. Snd ut hasn’t r
I guess the old saying, “You can’t fix stupid” is holding strong well into the 21st century! It’s sad when we have so much information at our fingertips every day.
Because the maga pastors of the unchristian nationalist & southern baptist nationalist told them they didn't need to read it because it was all good things for them & their country. In some circumstances people can't or refuse to read beyond See Jane bleed to death from a miscarriage, starve the children, refuse healthcare & give everything to the filthy rich. They cheer their false profit golden calf they made, give all their money to the rich church & pastor, close the book because their pastor told them to & said mission accomished.
During the campaign I kept pinning it to my Facebook timeline, and I swear not one person read it besides me. Granted, I'm a stay-at-home mom of older kids so I have a little more time.
I think most people thought it just propaganda so didn’t take the time to read it. I read portions of it when it first came out and want to read it in full to see what they will be toiling next.
I downloaded it &read all 900+ pages. Also separated it out some so when people asked certain questions, I could send the applicable paragraphs to them. I think you are right not many read it, especially the people that really needed to.
I think this is his plan for forcing democrats to abandon their plan for healthcare and give in to the republicans to re-open the government. I hope they don't do that but I know some of them want to. It won't help. Trump will just revel in his power over them and come up with something else horrendous. You can't give in to blackmail or extortion. I think the media companies and law firms and universities have discovered that.
It not only won't help, it will hurt, because the Democrats then would have zero leverage to do or prevent anything, becoming even more powerless than they are.
In my county alone the bottom tier bronze ACA healthcare plans costs will increase at least $1350.00 PER MONTH PER PERSON above the monthly premiums paid in the past without the subsidies. An increase of at least $16,000.00 per year to total about $21,000.00 per year plus required deductibles. Who the hell can afford that earning 70k or less per year? Very few who I know can afford that.
Project 2025 is available on the Heritage Foundation website. The gameplan of Project 2025 was to strip away ALL the Federal Safety Net!! Forcing people to seek help through charity and family. This was meant to force “Christian Nationalism” onto people who needed assistance. Money would be funneled through approved churches.
Project 2025 is the creation of a Theocracy in the United States that places virtually ALL the power in the Executive Branch. Those pushing it believe in the Unitary Executive theory.
It’s overturning our separation of church and state and our Constitution as it stands.
Project 2025 is an ugly combination of the wealthy protecting their money and believing that they, because they have become rich, have the right to rule the rest of us.
It’s an attempt to re-establish the “Divine Right of Kings”
It is a complete rebuke of WHY the Founders of this country fought the Revolutionary War.
It sets up a Feudal system in the United States.
And the bastards have been using our TAXPAYER dollars to overthrow our Constitution.
So - stop the flow of taxpayer money to facilitate the overthrow of the United States Constitution.
Exactly. People need to file a extension with IRS if they owe money & keep filing to keep them from putting our tax dollars in their pockets. If people qualify file exempt. If own a small business apply for non profit 501 3c or other non profit exemption that they can legally comply with. We have to find legal ways to starve the government oligarchy.
My guess is that Trump assumes that the less money is paid to the poor and starving, the more money will be available to him to seize and perhaps pay hundreds of millions more for more ballrooms or similar nonsense
lainey and Sarah, on Tik tok and YouTube, literally went though it chapter by chapter last summer. You can access their postings too. It is so far right and absurd, that is the only reason people could have dismissed it. But there were many of us shouting from the rooftops about how the minority right was going to overtake the country and essentially be the Christian Taliban.
I hope everyone that got money on their card immediately went and spent every penny. And I hope they bought whatever the fuck they wanted because it’s none of my business what they eat.
I did. Virginia is giving weekly benefit distribution and my family's allotment of $45 was spent locally the same day.
However, we had to drive farther because our local grocery store closed last month. And instead of being able to buy two weeks of groceries, I could only buy one week’s worth. So double the longer trip through the mountains with a 4 year old kid… all thanks to Trump. Really, I am really grateful Virginia saw this coming am has distributed an emergency fund right on time.
Yeah he does. But while the Republicans may be distancing themselves from him (remains to be seen if that's real), they're not going to impeach him. So there aren't enough votes - again. At some point, maybe after the midterms, there may be. But not now.
Mike Johnson won't even call them into session to do anything. He's really desperate to keep the Epstein files hidden to please his boss in the White House.
You're right. Isn't it amazing how his constituents don't mind that he has totally abandoned them and their welfare in order to bend the knee to trump.
At the same time tRump said they would pay out the food stamps today, they were in the process of taking this ruling to the Supreme Court. Why did he out right lie to the people. Damn he’s a f!ed up national traitor!
Right, Amanda! And what about the States’ Rights that Repukes have been thundering about for decades? Last time I checked, the federal government has no authority to stop individual states from spending their money as they see fit. These are the desperate actions of a weak and frightened regime. States paying out SNAP benefits need to tell Dump to piss off.
I wish I had more sympathy for those people but after reading the book "Dying of Whiteness" earlier this year, it's hard to muster any. It talked about three cases in three states of passing policies that disproportionately harmed white people but these poor people being hurt felt it was worth it if there were some Black people who might be hurt. Being from Chicago, I don't think like that.
It would be great. It won’t happen. They say they have always voted republican, some might, but not enough. They are stuck in their ways. It’s crazy 🤦🏻♀️
It is but the money comes from the federal government. The states do not have enough money to fund SNAP by themselves. Well, the blue states do if they stop sending any money to the federal government. And the red states probably aren't doing anything for their people anyway.
Yes but they would have to not pay the federal govt. Which, if they keep cutting everything and still expect people to pay taxes and get nothing, they should do.
Exactly my fear. I don’t blame them for not staying…I get it. It might be a thin defense against him, but it’s one of the only, if not the only, defense we have.
And most at low levels are ruling against him. It is the Trumpites appeal courts and Trumpites Supreme Court justices (Republican) that are overturning, rubber-stamping his unlawfulness.
Release all the EPSTEIN FILES that will sort out this corrupt, cruel, racist trump administration who are covering up a pedophile ring. Trump and his administration are not going HUNGRY.
I hope anyone that got any November funds spent it already. I would. Cruelty is the point. His message: I can have decadent parties with abundant, luxury foods but you peasants cannot have even the basics until the Democrats do what I want!
I hope so too, but the stores may be the ones that end up holding the bag. If the government withholds the funds, the SNAP benefit, EBT, may "bounce" (for lack of a better word).
Oh I know it’s a fantasy. But it seems only proper. Why shouldn’t they encounter the same conditions they are putting their constituents in? I can always dream I guess…
I hope americans are waking up and seeing how evil this administration is
Some are. But too many are still riding the delusion.
Trump and his buddies do not care about Americans’ ability to eat or not. He’s not America First, it is his way of getting revenge. This is a sick, egotistical and narcissistic president who can’t stand to lose or negotiate, clearly not a president for all. My guess is that he moved that money to enlarge his viscious ICE personnel and increase their payoffs while building more concentration camps
Totally agree that DJT is very sick and mean! Think of how he reacted to the man fainting in the oval office. ZILCH empathy!!! He not only has no empathy for the people on SNAP, he would love to write them off as a bad investment of 'HIS money' because that is how he sees all of the funds that he has power over now that Congress has ceded their Power of the Purse to him. They are very sick, too! I can only hope that each state will do what they can to provide food and meals to all SNAP beneficiaries, Many of these people do not drive or have a way to go to food banks because of limited mobility. And many of these 'people' are kids!!! We need to give-up on DJT understanding and dive in and help each of these people as best we can locally!! 'WE the PEOPLE' can do what DJT cannot!
He can do it but won’t
He is like a toddler in his tantrums of resistance. So unspeakable that people give him power.
Here's the deal: Donald Trump's pathology will not allow him to lose. We've seen this clearly before.
It becomes self-destructive and he doesn't seem to understand that. Because he has too many enablers.
This will most definitely go to court!
Agree
Yep, let’s remember the time he imitated a disabled person on film
Truly thought that would bring him down! It so openly displayed his inhumanity and ignorance. Then I heard how he told his nephew to stop paying for his son's care. A child born with sever complications. That is Trump!!! Take, but never give!!
And he will reap as he does. We are watching for it.
As he sows...
Hi C. Mc Donald , did you know that you can edit any of your posts by clicking on those little dots at the upper right of your post? :-)
You're probably right that some of this is his revenge for "No Kings" and election losses. When Hitler knew that the days of the Reich were numbered, he wanted to burn the crops in Germany to punish the people for not living up to his ideal of a master race that could conquer all enemies. Like any megalomaniac, he never thought to look in the mirror to find the fool who thought he could fight wars on three fronts, against larger nations.
Doesn't make you sick that we have a president with similar tendencies. And getting worse with every passing day, :-(
the man is clearly to me an undiagnosed sociopath because he has killed by proxy & this is true of pathological personality types like psychopaths & sociopaths, they are unable to feel things like compassion & empathy & while they know right from wrong they just don't care as said in a documentary on the criminal mind, is it nature or nurture I watched some years back plus, not for nothing, he just plain enjoys tormenting & abusing people but, the majority in this country thought this twisted freak of a man a better choice just because good character & integrity came with tits & a pussy so, no one wanted any parts of it & went for the malicious freak instead haven't you noticed how delighted he gets when he's hurt someone?

Many people are sleepwalking through this shit show. Unaware, uncaring, and out of touch. Lemmings.
Until they get hit with the flying debris.
Yes, all too soon...not soon enough
As witnessed by the thumbs down and middle fingers up that we still get at our weekly protests. Fewer than, say 3 months ago, but still too many. Enough to say our fight is not anywhere close to being over yet. Not anywhere close.

Tell Trump the money has already been spent at the grocery stores. People who are hungry don’t wait until Wednesday to go grocery shopping.
No one can tell the unhinged conman anything. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself. This four year stint is all about revenge and retribution. Maybe he’ll drop dead on the golf course 🤞
My friend is hoping on the gold throne in the bathroom. Kind of like Elvis
He's deranged.
Yes, he is.
Your mouth to God’s ears.
From your lips...

It's wild how they want to ignore real issues while pushing their cult agenda.
Are We Great Yet? I noticed they stopped asking if we were better off than 4 years ago... 🤔
Yes me too! I don't enjoy seeing friends and relatives who depend on SNAP for a good reason have to suffer. If Trump had to go without his fried chicken i’m sure he would not be happy!
Everyone at USDA should resign and refuse Trump’s orders.
You’re calling it an administration. It’s really a regime.

We KNOW! Anyone with half a functioning brain cell KNOWS - had known since 2016. Sadly, we have literally tens of millions who, apparently, do not have half a functioning brain cell.

Pure evil. Let people starve. Men. Women, children. Just insane
too little, too late because now we're stuck & you know he's not going to peacefully when it's time to leave & he has another shot at staging a coup & maybe getting it right this time, why in hell would people do this?!
60 minutes on Sunday night, had a interview with a couple of farmers, with all that's going on
I hope so too
What’s Trumps end game with not allowing snap benefits to be paid?
Who has a copy of project 2025 they can send me or direct me where to find it?
Imo, the endgame is civil unrest. It’s not enough that activists are hitting the streets. This administration wants to stretch our society to its brink, because desperate people do desperate things. They haven’t been able to provoke violence so they are ramping up until they do - and then they’ll declare martial law and remain in power indefinitely.
Good thing people are helping each other. There have been a lot of people making food for others in my area.
Yup, had a local Scouting for Food drive in my small (pop. of maybe 24,000) community. The Scouts collected 32,400 pounds of food for our local food bank. So proud of my neighbors!
Yes. Hungry people may be bullied into fightingback. He can then get out the tanks and shoot them. That is his end game.
💯
His entire endgame is to dismantle government altogether. He and his tech-oligarchy feel that they should lead the country. They believe that democracy is for losers. Beware.
Exactly Margaret Thorne
Then we must hold the line and not rise to their taunting. Martial law would be the absolute worse thing to happen. We must protect our country from these fascists
I am beyond pissed and fed up. We need to stop this. Isn't there any legal arm in our fucking diminished pussy government that can step in??

I fully agree with you! He wants to be able to declare martial law.
I’m of the opinion that he essentially has. With goon squad equivalents of brown shirts.
I agree this is their strategy. Stoking violence so he can proclaim the Insurrection Act.
Yep! That’s the plan, and has been all along. Kidnap our friends/family/neighbors & terrorize our communities…hoping it turns to violence so they can declare martial law & shut down elections before Nov 2026.
This is exactly what I have been saying all along. They are trying to get people to act the way DJT 🫏 has portrayed the citizens in Washington DC, Portland Oregon, Los Angeles California and Chicago Illinois as criminals, causing violence everywhere.

Unfortunately, I think you're right. At first, I thought that it couldn't be true, but then I reminded myself who is in office, the Rapist-In-Thief, and his authoritarian regime of cult members. They lie, steal, sexually assault, protect pedophiles, and do all this with shiny crosses around their necks.
And utter impunity. The legal system is driving me crazy. (IMO, our bench and bar took entirely too long to speak out..) The level of corruption of the right wing of SCOTUS is astounding. How are they driven out?🤔
Someone is paying for that ballroom; it will be no surprise if Trump just takes whatever money he can grab.
He needs to take what he's got and get the hell out. And his "advisors" as well.
Or, down into the new bunker, as the case may be.
It's money laundering scheme as usual for Trump construction projects. Raise the projected cost of construction a few billion, get the funds & pocket the leftover money. He's done it for years including refusal to pay contractors after work was completed & signed off. He ruined many small business contractors over the years.
That Mango Mussolini has already stiffed the crew that tore down the East Wing of the White House!
Agree!
I've been saying this from the beginning. I think doge redirected the SNAP contingency fund to Elons self appointed additional government contracts or to some other billionaires pocket change. Likely happened the same time that USAID funds providing food, medical care & medications to African countries were pulled back & stopped causing the death of thousands of people in the first month alone. That was the beginning of what is now happening right here at home & they think we are going to make excuses, swallow the lies & threats, do nothing & cheer as maga did because those people weren't the correct religion or the correct skin color for them to even think about having any compassion what so ever for other human beings. The pro life mantra & survival of a fetus even at the expense of the life of the woman carrying it, providing feeding, medical care & medicine to the living infant & child is too much for them & beyond their red line. It's only that fetus that matters because its all about controlling women & the population. Abortion is a mortal sin to the religious christian nationalist hypocrites where Christianity is nowhere to be found but I guess denying food, healthcare & medicine to purposefully kill the living infant, children, disabled, elderly & working poor including lower ranking enlisted military members & their families is just fine with their manufactured god & golden calf who is the very worse among us that they worship & cheer for advicating starvation & disease. All while Trump goes golfing at 3.5 million per trip & throwing lavish parties for his rich friends at his social club at the expense of taxpayers, stealing money from the US Treasury with the assistance of billionaire syncophant Scott Bessent & propping up the stock market by infusing 1.5 trillion dollars into it & telling people see... the market is booming all under the lies of his golden age of making Murika great again. Great again for the rich 1% by trillions of taxpayers money transferred to them, their corporations & to hell with everyone else. Make it make sense.
If people go hungry, they get desperate, desperate can be violence which then would be grounds for the implementation of the insurrection act
That's their end goal.
I do not mean to be flip, but Michael Che’s comment on SNL weekend update that the food supply issue can be solved with the second amendment is not exactly a joke. People will do what they need to feed their families.
It’s easily accessible on the heritage foundations website.
Is it still available? Looks like they’re selling the book now. I just checked. I downloaded it to my Files app last year because I had a feeling it wouldn’t be available after a while.

Thank you!
That’s where I read it
It’s amazing that it’s so easy to find yet 77 million people were too fucking stupid not to read it
When I was campaigning for Harris I was laughed at ,when I bought up Project 2025 I begged people to read it. They had no idea they were getting duped and lied too. Because they accomplished atleast more than hall of the bullet points on the project agenda. Snd ut hasn’t r
I guess the old saying, “You can’t fix stupid” is holding strong well into the 21st century! It’s sad when we have so much information at our fingertips every day.
The overwhelm is real
Oops and it hasn’t been a year yet.
Because the maga pastors of the unchristian nationalist & southern baptist nationalist told them they didn't need to read it because it was all good things for them & their country. In some circumstances people can't or refuse to read beyond See Jane bleed to death from a miscarriage, starve the children, refuse healthcare & give everything to the filthy rich. They cheer their false profit golden calf they made, give all their money to the rich church & pastor, close the book because their pastor told them to & said mission accomished.
Agree
Do we still teach reading?
Good point!😂
Me, too.
During the campaign I kept pinning it to my Facebook timeline, and I swear not one person read it besides me. Granted, I'm a stay-at-home mom of older kids so I have a little more time.

I think most people thought it just propaganda so didn’t take the time to read it. I read portions of it when it first came out and want to read it in full to see what they will be toiling next.
I downloaded it &read all 900+ pages. Also separated it out some so when people asked certain questions, I could send the applicable paragraphs to them. I think you are right not many read it, especially the people that really needed to.
they didn't read it before the election either. Although I don't think it would have made any difference.
I think this is his plan for forcing democrats to abandon their plan for healthcare and give in to the republicans to re-open the government. I hope they don't do that but I know some of them want to. It won't help. Trump will just revel in his power over them and come up with something else horrendous. You can't give in to blackmail or extortion. I think the media companies and law firms and universities have discovered that.
It not only won't help, it will hurt, because the Democrats then would have zero leverage to do or prevent anything, becoming even more powerless than they are.
exactly
In my county alone the bottom tier bronze ACA healthcare plans costs will increase at least $1350.00 PER MONTH PER PERSON above the monthly premiums paid in the past without the subsidies. An increase of at least $16,000.00 per year to total about $21,000.00 per year plus required deductibles. Who the hell can afford that earning 70k or less per year? Very few who I know can afford that.
Starvation is a tool used by monarchs/dictators to force people to bend to their will
This is the tamer form of seige...so far.
The end game is likely to force riots

Miller said there should only be 200 million people in this country that look like him.
Eeek. What a narrow mind he has.
Well, I'm not that ugly.
Oh wait… it’s worse…it was 100 million but Trump was the one who claimed he said it.
Project 2025 is available on the Heritage Foundation website. The gameplan of Project 2025 was to strip away ALL the Federal Safety Net!! Forcing people to seek help through charity and family. This was meant to force “Christian Nationalism” onto people who needed assistance. Money would be funneled through approved churches.
Project 2025 is the creation of a Theocracy in the United States that places virtually ALL the power in the Executive Branch. Those pushing it believe in the Unitary Executive theory.
It’s overturning our separation of church and state and our Constitution as it stands.
Project 2025 is an ugly combination of the wealthy protecting their money and believing that they, because they have become rich, have the right to rule the rest of us.
It’s an attempt to re-establish the “Divine Right of Kings”
It is a complete rebuke of WHY the Founders of this country fought the Revolutionary War.
It sets up a Feudal system in the United States.
And the bastards have been using our TAXPAYER dollars to overthrow our Constitution.
So - stop the flow of taxpayer money to facilitate the overthrow of the United States Constitution.
Exactly. People need to file a extension with IRS if they owe money & keep filing to keep them from putting our tax dollars in their pockets. If people qualify file exempt. If own a small business apply for non profit 501 3c or other non profit exemption that they can legally comply with. We have to find legal ways to starve the government oligarchy.
My guess is that Trump assumes that the less money is paid to the poor and starving, the more money will be available to him to seize and perhaps pay hundreds of millions more for more ballrooms or similar nonsense
Starve the oligarchy. Don't buy what they sell & legally avoid paying federal taxes if any way possible.
I never buy what they sell. There is no way to LEGALLY avoid paying federal taxes.
I googled it and found it last week
I see it on the Heritage Foundation website.Do you think its safe assume this is it and safe to download?
lainey and Sarah, on Tik tok and YouTube, literally went though it chapter by chapter last summer. You can access their postings too. It is so far right and absurd, that is the only reason people could have dismissed it. But there were many of us shouting from the rooftops about how the minority right was going to overtake the country and essentially be the Christian Taliban.
To get the democrats to help end the shutdown.
Impeach them all. NOW.
I hope everyone that got money on their card immediately went and spent every penny. And I hope they bought whatever the fuck they wanted because it’s none of my business what they eat.
💯 I'm so sick of MAGA people crying that someone might buy “junk food” with their benefits. Why do they even care!
Because those people might be “undeserving" or a few might be “scamming.” They'd rather starve millions than let a few scammers get something.
And the sad truth is that healthy foods are so much more expensive; consider even the increased cost of beef😬

It’s all control… remember it’s a bunch of ego-centric narcissists
I did. Virginia is giving weekly benefit distribution and my family's allotment of $45 was spent locally the same day.
However, we had to drive farther because our local grocery store closed last month. And instead of being able to buy two weeks of groceries, I could only buy one week’s worth. So double the longer trip through the mountains with a 4 year old kid… all thanks to Trump. Really, I am really grateful Virginia saw this coming am has distributed an emergency fund right on time.
Impeach now.
That will not happen while the Republicons hold the majority in both the House and Senate.
We don’t have the votes Democrats should, but there’s the votes not there. They be pointless.
They need to finally charge him in contempt of court. What is it going to take?
more votes and a different supreme court
The GOP can fix it. They are MIA.
He needs to be impeached
Yeah he does. But while the Republicans may be distancing themselves from him (remains to be seen if that's real), they're not going to impeach him. So there aren't enough votes - again. At some point, maybe after the midterms, there may be. But not now.
Mike Johnson won't even call them into session to do anything. He's really desperate to keep the Epstein files hidden to please his boss in the White House.
You're right. Isn't it amazing how his constituents don't mind that he has totally abandoned them and their welfare in order to bend the knee to trump.
At the same time tRump said they would pay out the food stamps today, they were in the process of taking this ruling to the Supreme Court. Why did he out right lie to the people. Damn he’s a f!ed up national traitor!
He always lies. Idk that he’s ever told the truth other then saying smart people don’t like him
🤣
Outright lies from the Orange Menace are the norm; Impeach NOW!
He’s an asshole that’s why.
Because that's what he does.
States can feed people if they want to! This is massive federal overreach!
Seriously! I thought the republicans were the “small government” party. I guess that’s only when they aren’t punishing immigrants and poor people.
Right, Amanda! And what about the States’ Rights that Repukes have been thundering about for decades? Last time I checked, the federal government has no authority to stop individual states from spending their money as they see fit. These are the desperate actions of a weak and frightened regime. States paying out SNAP benefits need to tell Dump to piss off.
What happens to red states whose governors would not distribute SNAP funds if they even had some?
Will those in TN, WV, and LA among others watch people starve?
Enough is enough.
I wish I had more sympathy for those people but after reading the book "Dying of Whiteness" earlier this year, it's hard to muster any. It talked about three cases in three states of passing policies that disproportionately harmed white people but these poor people being hurt felt it was worth it if there were some Black people who might be hurt. Being from Chicago, I don't think like that.
Thanks @Anastasia Pantsios! I’m getting that book “Dying of Whiteness”!
It is really a great read, thought-provoking but sad.
Maybe people in those red states will stop always voting for the Republicans that screw them over.
It would be great. It won’t happen. They say they have always voted republican, some might, but not enough. They are stuck in their ways. It’s crazy 🤦🏻♀️
It is but the money comes from the federal government. The states do not have enough money to fund SNAP by themselves. Well, the blue states do if they stop sending any money to the federal government. And the red states probably aren't doing anything for their people anyway.
California has the money. We're the fourth largest economy in the world.
Yes but they would have to not pay the federal govt. Which, if they keep cutting everything and still expect people to pay taxes and get nothing, they should do.
Yes, I imagine Rob Bonta is working on that, along with the other big blue state AGs.
Yes, I'm pretty sure California will continue to feed SNAP recipients.
We need judges to not do this, in my opinion. It is vital we have judges that will rule against him when warranted.
That’s what I was wondering. Why all the resignations? Why not stay and fight? Won’t the empty spot just be filled with a loyalist?
Exactly my fear. I don’t blame them for not staying…I get it. It might be a thin defense against him, but it’s one of the only, if not the only, defense we have.
That’s a fair point. A step in the right direction is better than compliance. And many steps make big leaps eventually
This is what I was thinking when a top military official resigned.
They are trying!
And most at low levels are ruling against him. It is the Trumpites appeal courts and Trumpites Supreme Court justices (Republican) that are overturning, rubber-stamping his unlawfulness.
Release all the EPSTEIN FILES that will sort out this corrupt, cruel, racist trump administration who are covering up a pedophile ring. Trump and his administration are not going HUNGRY.
Time for the Epstein files to be leaked.
I hope anyone that got any November funds spent it already. I would. Cruelty is the point. His message: I can have decadent parties with abundant, luxury foods but you peasants cannot have even the basics until the Democrats do what I want!
I hope so too, but the stores may be the ones that end up holding the bag. If the government withholds the funds, the SNAP benefit, EBT, may "bounce" (for lack of a better word).
Even after 10 years of watching this monster, I am still astonished by the level of cruelty.
They are trying so hard to get people to riot
Food riots are rare, because people beaten down by starvation don't riot. I know we love these fantasies but they're unrealistic.
I don't think we exactly love these fantasies, lol. Crime will worsen with people more desperate, we can be sure of that.
Exactly
Does the anonymous donor that gave 135 million to the military to keep operating have a less evil twin that wants to feed the people?
Ya her name is Billie Eilish!
He’s deserving of more than impeachment. DO NOT STARVE PEOPLE YOU ORANGE FUCK.
Aaron, thank you for reporting the news. Great job!❤️✌️
Well, if members of Congress are complicit in this, then I assume they will also be receiving a 35 percent reduction in their salaries and benefits?
If only…
Yeah, right.🙄
Oh I know it’s a fantasy. But it seems only proper. Why shouldn’t they encounter the same conditions they are putting their constituents in? I can always dream I guess…
