Hunger as a political weapon.

The Trump administration announced it will not use USDA reserves to fund SNAP benefits, leaving 42 million Americans, including children, seniors, and working families, without food assistance starting November 1.

This move breaks the USDA’s own policy plan and violates federal ethics law by turning hunger into a partisan talking point.

SNAP isn’t just about feeding families. It sustains local grocers, farmers, and small town economies. Ending it would rip holes in communities across America.

As Heather Cox Richardson reminds us, food assistance began during the New Deal as a bridge between farmers and the hungry, a symbol of shared responsibility.

Now, the administration finds $20 billion for foreign allies but claims it can’t find $8 billion to feed Americans.

What are we doing here?

As Trump’s administration faces new allegations of defying court orders, deporting protected migrants, and trading informants for political favors, Heather Cox Richardson reminds us that the Founders built this nation on the rule of law, not royal power.

No Kings Day: A Stand for Democracy

Yesterday, millions across America—and around the world—stood up for democracy during the No Kings Day demonstrations.

Historian Heather Cox Richardson described it beautifully: ordinary Americans, waving flags and dancing in the streets, reminding us that freedom doesn’t belong to any one leader—it belongs to all of us.

Even as some officials tried to label the protests “anti-America,” the crowds were joyful, peaceful, and proudly patriotic. From Texas to California, people gathered to say with one voice:

“We reject authoritarianism. We choose democracy.”
