🚨Trump & Republicans' shameful cuts to food assistance are taking effect TODAY. That means states now have less resources to feed families facing food insecurity. In MA, over 188,000 SNAP beneficiaries have already been impacted. I'll keep fighting to expand SNAP & end hunger once and for all.

Today, Russia struck a school in Kyiv with a drone during the morning hours. At the time of the strike, about 100 schoolchildren and 60 staff members were in the shelter; fortunately, no one was hurt. Who does that? What kind of barbarians attack children on a school day?

Some of the worst cuts of Trump's Big, Ugly Bill take effect in Minnesota today. Thousands of Minnesotans will lose their Medicaid. $32 million in SNAP cuts will force kids to go hungry. At the same time, Trump's billionaire besties get tax breaks for another private plane.

If you wonder whether might Trump might cheat to keep the Rs in power consider that this ad campaign he is running, with our tax dollars, is brazenly illegal. He's already cheating in the election, and we should expect far more in the days ahead.

Of course the primary reason why CNN and MS NOW are running the illegal taxpayer-funded Trump campaign ads is because they are afraid of the Trump Admin coming after them if they refuse. The path of least resistance is compliance caused by fear and intimidation.

It's when a president illegally confiscates money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose because he decides, after the appropriation becomes law, that he doesn't like it. The fact that the Republican Congress ignores that is another reason they should be voted out. bsky.app/profile/atru...
