In Trump's America #Billionaires get tax cuts, while ordinary #Americans go hungry:

"Starting next October, #Trump’s so-called #OneBigBeautifulBill Act will shift billions in #SNAP costs from the federal government onto states. Some states won’t be able to afford this, and they could be forced to deeply cut or even shutter their SNAP programs altogether"

Wave of Tax Cuts Has Left Many States Vulnerable to Trump SNAP and Medicaid Crisis

President Donald Trump’s so-called One Big Beautiful Bill Act will shift billions in costs for SNAP and Medicaid to states. But with 26 having cut or eliminated state income taxes just since 2021, they may not have the money to continue the programs.

Why were Democrats so very successful on Election Day? Part of the answer is Trump's "pursuit of a regal new ballroom at the White House and photos of the wrecking job it required" and "his main policy achievement: the #OneBigBeautifulBill which aims to cut taxes on the wealthy while slashing Medicaid and food stamps":

Sounds bad to do that... but yesterday in the #ovaloffice with #victororban #Trump calmly bullied out that #undocumented are getting free #SNAP money.
⭕They are not, right? #trumplies

#OneBigBeautifulBill, says... SNAP for refugees, people granted asylum and many other categories of immigrants with legal status are ⭕no longer eligible for food assistance. This has started to be turned on in Nov.

Refugees in Iowa learn they're no longer eligible for SNAP

Refugees in Iowa are learning they are no longer eligible for SNAP benefits. The federal government has ordered states to start enforcing a part of the One Big Beautiful Bill that cuts off food assistance for refugees and many other types of immigrants with legal status.

Iowa Public Radio

Trump’s #OneBigBeautifulBill slashes taxes for the rich, guts #healthcare and food aid for the poor, boosts military and #ICE spending, and rolls back clean energy incentives — deepening #inequality and fueling a police-state vibe.

His tariff hikes are jacking up prices and risking a recession. Overall, it’s trickle-down on steroids, with #racism and repression baked in.

The takeaway: organize for economic, racial, and climate justice — and fight back hard.
