Hakeem Jeffries agrees with Elon Musk. Progressives do not, nor should any Democrat or American.

The clip with Hakeem Jeffries saying he agrees with Musk will do much more damage. It is not a joke. And here is why!

#Trump’s #megabill may force your local grocery store to close

Excerpt: "Wright’s Market has been a fixture of Opelika, Alabama, a town of around 30,000 near Auburn University, since the 1970s. The supermarket relies on the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (#SNAP) for roughly one-third of sales.

"SNAP is a 'big piece of what we do,' said owner Jimmy Wright, who has worked at the store since he was 12 and bought it almost 30 years ago. 'We see very hardworking people who are using this program to try to feed their families and pay rent.'

" 'SNAP, formerly known as #FoodStamps, is the largest #AntiHunger program in America. Recipients receive, on average, about $6.16 a day, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.

"But President Trump’s #OneBigBeautifulBill Act makes the largest cuts to food stamps in the program’s 86-year history, jeopardizing assistance for more than 42 million people. It also imperils the program’s role as an economic anchor for grocery stores and communities, particularly in #rural areas, according to #grocers and economists."

Trump’s megabill may force your local grocery store to close

Large chains like Walmart, Kroger, and Dollar General can absorb the cuts to SNAP. It’s the small, independent grocers that depend heavily on the program that will be hit hardest.

We should rename the Big Beautiful bill to the Big Working Class Theft Bill and budget exploder.

Ali Vitali lays out the Big Beautiful Bill that the House just passed. It is a grand theft on the working class. Rich sanctioned stealing by our government from the working class.
