Families may soon starve, but Trump gets a new marble bathroom - Dailykos
The absolute lack of self-awareness it takes to post about fancy renovations to the White House that virtually no Americans will ever see or utilize, while millions of federal workers are not being paid and throngs of Americans are worried about losing the funding they rely upon to feed their families is hard to fathom.
“Millions of Americans, including thousands of El Pasoans, will be going hungry starting tomorrow because (Trump) is choosing not to use $6 billion in available emergency SNAP funding,” Democratic Rep. Veronica Escobar of Texas wrote in a post on X. “Instead, his focus is on his White House renovations.”
