GravitasThe State of the Union is GREAT
NonilexWhen Roman emperors ran out of ideas, they promised #BreadAndCircuses. Trump’s speech was full of circuses, including a lengthy celebration of the U.S. men’s Olympic hockey team. But he’s *no* Roman emperor: He made a point of reminding the American people that his administration is providing a lot less #food to the #poor (having “lifted” 2.4 million people off #FoodStamps).
Bruce Mirken"While there have always been restrictions on what these #FoodStamps could purchase, the latest change focuses on banning what it classifies as ‘junk food’. When policymakers first mentioned this modification, they gave the impression that it would be an easy change. Unfortunately, the reality is far from the truth, and it may be detrimental to those who depend on the program to keep their families fed."

LittleAlex 🇺🇦🇮🇱🇩🇪🇳🇴@arstechnica After reading this article I wonder why it is increasing? Is it possible the bad economy and high inflation in last years are forcing people to find additional sources for food? Or is it the reduction in food stamps?
I cannot imagine people just discovered to pick up mushrooms in the forest and eat it. Usually such people are very "outdoory" and learn about the dangers and what is safe to eat. Not so much valid for hungry people without experience....
(((Cindy Weinstein)))It's not just illegally affixing his name to the #KennedyCenter. The attack is much more: the #CivilRightsAct, #Vaccines, #USAID, #FoodStamps, #HeadStart, the Special #Olympics, etc. What we (we w/a conscience, empathy, & intelligence) hold dear.
& "who better to have on side in a crusade ag. Kennedy initiatives than a Kennedy? it also doubtless served a psychological need for the president. . . Trump must also be keenly aware that a Kennedy is subject to him."
