ikr? Can we start labeling this as a Republican choice, not just Trump?
This is a Republican administration operating with support from a Republican-controlled Senate and House and by Republican judges and other appointees.
Project 2025 isn't Trump's plan, it's a Republican plan. Let's start talking about the party that's doing this to America so they can't just claim it was "all Trump" and be believed when it all comes tumbling down around them.
There is SNAP funding.
Even the Republicans ensured that there was 5 Billion Dollars prepared to ensure that SNAP funding could not easily run out.
It is being Withheld by Trump
Any references for this?
But the two-page document states that “contingency funds are not legally available to cover regular benefits.”
So what's the point of a "Contingency Fund" if it can't be tapped to cover contingencies?

No funding, but there's 40 billion to "buy" the election in Argentina...
And $300 million for a new ballroom, $230 million to compensate him for the FBI investigating his extensive criminal activities, etc...

Failed State.
State isn't the right word to describe the USA. States have borders and believe in national sovereignty.
America is now just a criminal syndicate with a military.
Well ok, but also that's pretty much what a state is...
A literal traitor to our nation. Enabled and protected by a literal traitor party.
Just watch.
In 1 year (midterms), and in 3, US voters who starved from this will forget all about it and vote based on whatever outrage pops up on cable news or their social feed. And, more specifically, not vote in primaries where both party's problems can really be addressed.
I still wonder if they are banking on making 2025 just such a miserable year that it's comparitively easy to make 2026 feel good.
Turn SNAP back on, dial back the tariffs. People feel a remarkable improvement in food security and prices. Might still be in worse shape than end of 2024, but people will tend to remember change in experience rather than their experience in absolute terms.
The narrative will inevitably be that somehow the GOP figured out how to overcome those pesky democrats and restore the things that the democrats broke.
If things remained persistently broken, then the narrative couldn't really overcome people's actual experience. They strongly branded and made it clear that this was the Trump show, he's got the executive branch, the legislative branch, and the judicial branch. When it comes to 'right now', it's hard to ignore that reality. But once they make it 'last year's problem', then mental gymnastics can resume to blame the democrats.
Hell they could resolve this crisis by ultimately letting the democrats have what they are asking for and the voters would still credit the GOP with restoring the benefits that the democrats are demanding. They've already set the stage by saying democrats want to give all the money to illegal immigrants (which they explicitly don't) and so there will be some BS to claim they 'compromised' by getting the democrats to give up illegal immigrant eligibility (they aren't eligible and were never asked to be) and then take credit for the 'good' version of the outcome.

Interesting history fact of the day: It took about one and a half years from Hitler coming to power to the night of the long knives.
Republicans: cutting food assistance
Also Republicans: "Waaaah! Why aren't people having kids?"

He's also doing it because it's what billionaires want.
Hmm these people don't want to work a 996 to afford my enshitified garbage, better fund lobbying to starve them to death and if that doesn't work I'll make sure to fund propaganda to stoke racial tensions then just in case they get wise as a last line of defense why not fund the modern day Gestapo

Incase anyone wants to help their local community. I talked to my local food pantry today and they said they prefer financial donations vs food drops. They can make a dollar go further than we can at the grocery store
Work with a food bank and this is spot on, except they do get food donations that make sense from farmers and food service companies. But people buying food at the grocery store will do worse than the food bank can do with their connections, experience, and volume.
They also know what to get, in terms of what is most useful.
You're telling me my year old can of pumpkin pie filling isn't useful?
Actually starving people out is a great way to get them to revolt.
Literally the actual thing that lit off the French Revolution. It wasn't just the taxes. It wasn't the bad labor practices. It wasn't the decadence of the rich. It was women marching to the palace because so many couldn't afford bread.

The US government seems to want people to violently revolt.
I imagine they want to use it as an excuse to take absolute power. But I don't think they thought it thoroughly.
exactly this….
food riots/ looting -> martial law -> dictatorship

MAGAts seeth with resentment at being told that they are backwards, ignorant, stupid racists. They want to hurt people because they have been hurt. They never think about improving themselves or not being backwards, ignorant, stupid racists. They love Donald Trump because he hurts people. MAGA had a hardon for cruelty.

A tyrant exercises power in a manner that is arbitrary, unreasonable, and cruel.
Trump makes it a point to always do all 3 simultaneously
A shit stain in history
My friend, cruelty is not only the theme of his administration - it's the theme of many of it's backers too.
are you "there yet" America?
If you oppose forcing starvation on young families, disabled people, and our elderly, please give what you can here:
Trump said he is probably not going to heaven. I feel kind of certain of that... I mean, assuming there is a god even.

Seems to me that cruelty is the theme of conservative governments worldwide.
I thought it hurt enough in the aughts, and in 2017-2020 that we'd do something about it, but we didn't.
So it's going to hurt more. Our aristocrats seem determined to let the third estate know its place.
