How absolutely obscene and despicable. It makes me sick. Everything about this administration and its sycophants makes me sick every. damn. day but this is beyond the pale.

I hate that man and his enablers with the passion of a thousand burning suns.

This has been in the news for a week or so.

WIC got cut off even before SNAP did.

The worst part is that Trump is saying that he wants to take advantage of the government shutdown to eliminate welfare programs permanently.

It wouldn't be legal, but since when has he ever obeyed the law.
