Trump Regime’s USDA refuses to Fund Emergency Food Assistance for SNAP

So the regime is refusing to use funds available for food assistance to the poorest people while holding firm on slashing health care for tens of millions. Meanwhile, they shift funds around to cover paying the military, continue murder of fishermen off the coast of ICE (while they lie about “drug-smuggling”), and making sure that ICE continues to get funds to build more prisons, sweep up our neighbors, attack protesters, and tear gas neighborhoods, even attacking a Halloween parade for kids gathered in Chicago.  (see also https://www.pbs.org/newshour/nation/immigration-agents-become-increasingly-aggressive-in-chicago )

Trump sends $20 billion to Argentina to bail out a dictator friend and $300 million for his golden ballroom built on the ruins of the  east wing of the White House as he reaps billions in corrupt expansion of crypto investments, trading favors for support, and pardoning crypto criminals. The gap and the sharpness of the contradiction between rich and poor and the corruption, profit-grabbing and destruction of any oversight or restraints to corruption get more clear. Hopefully, it is bringing home to even more people the reality of this sick, fascist capitalist regime.
