The number is right there: 700,000 fewer kids receiving food assistance after Republican SNAP cuts under Trump. Not a rumor. Not spin. Reported fact. And it’s summer — no school meals to fill the gap. A photo op with a baby doesn’t feed a single child. #RepublicansStarveChildren

Two pages. The same story. SNAP cuts: American children are losing food assistance and going hungry. USAID gutted: Children overseas are dying after humanitarian aid was cut. History won’t remember the excuses. It’ll remember who let children suffer. #RepublicansStarveChildren
