A lightweight news hub to help decentralize the fediverse load: mirror and discuss headlines here so the giant instance communities aren’t a single choke-point.

Any American who has been receiving $4,200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack,” Higgins added, posting a photo of a fully-stocked pantry.
That’s $350 a month. I would love to see Louisiana Republican Rep. Clay Higgins live on $350 a month.
I can afford food and I’m still constantly flabbergasted by how expensive it is.
Given what we have seen from Republicans, I am now fairly convinced that Clay Higgins smokes crack.
I'm single, and can afford food. I recently decided as an exercise, to scale my grocery budget up to simulate my having a 3-person family to feed. Very quickly I could no longer (comfortably) afford food.
It's wild how much performative handwringing there is about the dissolving of the American family by Republicans, in stark contrast to their policies and attitudes.
It’s like they think there are no white, Republican voters on SNAP.
A large number of those that fit that profile also are so servile to their political affiliation that they'll still twist every which way they can mentally to continue blaming Democrats for their troubles. Republican leaders are bullies who have their sycophants so well trained they don't even have to be concerned about them turning sides anymore. It's truly disgusting.
Really is nuts they can basically say fuck you to their voters and yet they'll still be reelected. Imagine being a Republican.
