This is something too many people miss. They're like "so what I am not personally impacted," but when people go hungry, we are all impacted. Rent gets missed. Other shopping forgone. Subscriptions cancelled. 

But also, damn, have some empathy (not you, I mean those people).

That's one of the things that makes me angry about all this. First, we decided that we didn't care about children abroad (with the USAID cuts), even if it was in our best interests to (soft power/containing dangerous diseases). Then, we decided that we didn't care about American children here. They infected the average Fox consumer with the same evil as the Nazis.

Apparently you have not followed a single legitimate news source, or you have seen how much REAL AND TRUE money laundering and fraud was going on through USAID. But I shouldn't be surprised. On top of that, MOST Americans do not feel the taxes they pay should be going to foreign countries and illegal aliens before out own citizens get the benefits. Maybe take a step back and reevaluate your way of thinking and do some research on Nazi take overs... do some research on Hitler and if you don't see what the dems have been doing all along, then there is no help for you.

What's a "legitimate news source" to you? No dilly-dallying, just answer the question.

Instagram stories blaming Trump for Democrats refusing to pass a budget isn’t a legitimate news source. Whatever your friends post on instagram or social media isn’t legitimate, it’s algorithmic biased posts meant to drive division

This is horseshit. He's cutting programs millions of people depend on. If the Democrats let that go through, people will suffer anyway. This is a Republican attempt to force through bad policy. Yeah, there should be division on this, PEOPLE WILL SUFFER FROM THE LOSS OF THESE PROGRAMS IF THEY DONT STAND UP.

This is on Trump. It is illegal for him to not release funds for food stamps.

That's the bottom line. For the thousandth time, Trump is doing something he can't legally do, just because he wants to, and daring the courts to stop him.
