I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture. They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

The White House is illegally refusing to use reserve funds to pay for SNAP benefits and Donald Trump is fully aware of this. Don’t be gaslit, the money is there, but Trump refuses to prioritize the needs of American citizens because his main concern is a ballroom. Trump doesn’t care about you.
SNAP benefits have never been cut off in any government shutdown... until now.
Not once.
Not under Bush.
Not under Obama.
Not even during other long shutdowns.

The only two times Americans have come close to losing food assistance - 2018 shutdown and now - were both under Donald Trump's presidency.

In 2018, the USDA had to scramble to pay February benefits early to stop people from going hungry.

Now in 2025, they're warning that millions may not get November benefits at all.
We're talking about families who rely on $6 a day for food... being told there's "no funding"... while billionaires get tax breaks and ICE burns through millions on tear gas.

This isn't fiscal responsibility.
It's cruelty.

Which seems to be the theme of Trump's administration."

As Republicans plan to block SNAP funding starting Nov 1, I’m hearing a lot of folks on the right shouting “get a job”, but let’s remember: 👶39% of SNAP recipients are children 👵20% are elderly 🐄An hour of minimum wage pay barely covers a pound of beef Hope that clears things up!

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Statement from the owners. www.msn.com/en-us/news/u...
"What you saw on the news doesn't tell the full story. On Thursday, federal agents stormed our restaurants in a show of force that went far beyond anything reasonable or humane. They didn't just detain people — they raided the heart of our business, tore through our spaces, and left behind a trail of fear, confusion, and destruction. Our kitchens were flipped. Our walk-ins emptied. Food trashed. Doors broken. Lives shattered."
Continuing, the restaurant added,
"But what they can't destroy is who we are."

Why didn’t Dems put Trump in jail over the Epstein stuff? Because Alex Acosta and Alan Dershowitz got Epstein a deal that came with a non-prosecution agreement for Epstein’s clients and coconspirators. Then trump rewarded Acosta with a job as Labor Secretary.
