The Trump administration is gearing up to kick an estimated six million more people off of food assistance programs β€” including nearly two million children.

The move would save just $1 billion a year, while Trump spends upwards of $1 billion per *day* on his new forever war.

Priorities.

Every single member of Congress that hasn't spoken up and acted is complicit in the murder and destruction of every single country we are going to war with and they should be put on trial too. Disgusting. #USA #America #Congress

Donald Trump wears lifts. Markwayne Mullin stands on a platform.

We've turned the keys of the kingdom over to men overcompensating for their insecurities.

Plus they’ve alarmed everyone by burning through scarce munitions in a matter of days.
