And it happened under Trump one of if not the worst president in US history.
A guy who is taxing the hell out of Americans, building gaudy monuments to himself, sending money and doing favors for corrupt friends of himself, deploying the military against people in times of peace, raising inflation, and is attempting to do a healthcare apocalypse next year.
Add it all to the pile of corruption and failure that defines this admin.
Two names will go into the history books for the cause of this: Mike Johnson and Donald Trump.
This is 1 persons choice, and this is not America first.
If there’s a food bank near where you live, consider donating and helping. A lot of people are going to need it this winter.
And it could all be prevented if Republicans weren’t evil fucks
Bread riots always bring down governments
Yep… and totally preventable, unlike back then.
We’re going to see riots over thanksgiving turkeys this year.
Did you know other countries provide more services than food assistance and healthcare that is mostly profitable to the shareholders?
Isn’t it weird how if you need a bit of help here the answer you are given is “go see a doctor, clearly there is something wrong with you”?
It’s because this country is hostile to life
Don’t worry, I’m sure some mysterious donor will come though and make sure these funds don’t cut off and children and go hungry. /s
The two longest shutdowns in history happened while Republicans controlled all three branches and yet conservatives keep telling me the Republicans are good for the economy.
There you go, the only food that some kids, who have broken parent(s) get.
Well the 5th of November is going to be known for something in the US now.
> Still, she supports Trump and blames Democrats for the shutdown because “they are not agreeing on anything that the Republicans offer”
What a dumb bitch.
I’m so sorry that so many people are suffering because of the actions of our present government administration.
I donate what I can.
People should consider finding their local GOP headquarters and visiting them asking them to fix this.
Have you tried not eating? /s
I think this is part of their plan. When people are hungry, they quickly become aggressive, and even violent. When that happens, Trump will declare that it is an insurrection, and will order the military to put it down. The military forces will mostly follow orders, and will put down the insurrection.
Somewhere in that process, Trump will declare himself Dictator, and the Constitution will be history.
I sincerely hope I am wrong.

And this is all happening because the Republicans don’t want to continue to give you healthcare that you can even remotely afford.
And the republicans own this as they control ALL THREE branches of the government. The Republican Recession
Even if the government was not shut down, new rules come into effect in November from the big beautiful bill that throws millions off of SNAP. It creates work requirements and ends exceptions for young people and veterans, among others.
12% of Americans receive some amount of SNAP benefits. Of that 12%, 40% are children.
Donate to your local food pantries, everyone. Particularly the ones that are attached to schools, YMCA’s/afterschool programs, and/or that don’t require registration or means testing. Shit’s about to get *real* for a lot of our neighbors, and as usual when the rich do their pissing matches, it’s poor children who are about to suffer the most for it.
If Trump cared he would write an executive order and sign it himself.
“Fuck those poor peoples children, amirght?” – Every Republican.
I wonder how Ghislaine is enjoying Club Fed
What kind of “work” do you think she does during the day when she leaves on work release? Or do they basically just let her do whatever and check back in at night. Is she even checking back in at night- have any reporters asked?
Caused by the GOP
I hear billionaires are delectable.
“We made these child be born, now it is time to starve them like Jesus would.”
The administration is being malicious and it’s not incompetence. They know what the results will be and that’s intentional.
I don’t understand why they are doing this. I know some people struggling as it is and they are about to be screwed.
Honestly, who could have predicted this would happen under a second trump term? Pretty much everyone. Especially the people behind the trump campaign.
I think the government shutdown is going to be used for the regime to say “See? Congress is dysfunctional. Nobody is getting paid, people are going hungry, and our brave soldiers are putting their lives on the line for nothing! Time to give the power of the purse to the executive! Who needs a congress anyway!”
We the people need to remain vigilant and laser focused on who is behind this and not lose sight. It’s 100% generated by the regime. The regime creates problems, swoops in and fixes the problem they created and pat themselves on the back and their loyal base eats it up everytime. We, the people with brains, outnumber them by huge margins. Stay focused and remember we’ve never had these levels of problems with prior presidents outside of the Trump regime.
I wasn’t paying that much attentions during Trump first term shutdown. Did food stamps run out then ?
“Every society is three meals away from chaos.”
We went from almost eliminating child hunger like three years ago to inflicting hunger on millions on purpose. What a wild turnaround.
If only it was just happening to the rednecks that voted for him.
The line between hunger and anger is very thin
The republicans are going to find out real quick the difference who has power and who’s in power.
People will put up with a lot—until they get hungry.

Remember to donate to your local food pantry! And if you do, money is almost always better than food; they can stretch a dollar much further than you thanks to wholesale purchases and discounts. It’s also much easier since you can usually just donate via their website without leaving your bed.
