Feeding Billionaires While Starving Kids. The Republican Way
There are many parts of the burnt-okra dunce’s “Big Beautiful Bill,”—does he always have to talk like a chud who got pantsed in high school?—that are some of the most repressive, repulsive and un-American things I’ve ever seen. We’ll get to authoritarian provisions in another piece. Let’s talk about Republicans’ forced starvation of kids.
Because, if this doesn’t make you determined to crawl through broken glass covered in lava, smelling like Steve Bannon on his off-month from showering to absolutely vote in every election to de-throne these scum-sucking psychopaths, I dunno what will. If this doesn’t make you hate these pasty white panopticons into Satan’s soul, I don’t get you, and never will.
KIDS. Who when in fetal form Republicans champion like blow at a Madison Cawthorn party, or a White House screening of Birth of a Nation. But now these fetuses have become actual humans, so let God sort out their nutrition. Yeah?
Yes, House Republicans just voted to change SNAP benefits so only adults with kids under seven—seven!!—are exempt from SNAP work requirements. Let me break that down for you: You have a 9-year old, so now you must work so your child can eat. They’re sick one day, can’t go to school? Hope you read Lord of the Flies, kid! Try to scavenge! Just imagine you’re in Fear of the Walking Dead. This is any day your child is not in school, and if memory serves, we have this period of time known as “summer.”
Question: Do you jackwad jabberwockies have no fucking souls? You spoiled, bitchy, brattish, delinquents who married into, were born into or insider traded into wealth (hi Marge!). Most families don’t make millions in illicit meme coins or get $400 million jets as bribes. You heartless whores hand out duckets to creepy incellionaires like Elon, who you allowed to destroy our economy in a backroom when not one of us voted for that venal Apartheid vampire. But You Will Let Kids Starve??
Nothing says “pro-life” like letting an eight-year-old go hungry while Jeff Bezos uses his latest tax break to buy a yacht for his yacht. Then telling a single mom working two jobs that her 10-year-old doesn’t deserve dinner because, well, General Dynamics needed another corporate loophole to bomb more shit? I don’t know about you, but I’d sure let kids starve to death for a company whose description is this:
General Dynamics Corporation (NYSE:GD [ [link removed] ]) are expecting [ [link removed] ] the situation in Ukraine and Israel’s war against Palestinian group Hamas to drive up revenue flow.
Republicans are gutting food for kids while handing trillions in tax cuts to billionaire donors—many of whom already pay less taxes than the teacher who stocks granola bars for hungry students. This shit bill isn’t just a fiscal atrocity—it’s a moral crime. Dickensian cruelty wrapped in a Newsmax chyron joyriding on RFK Jr.’s slippery brain-buddy. But, c’mon kid, bootstrap your way through malnutrition, anaemia, thyroid disfunction and cognitive impairment to a sweet hedge fund gig!
To Republicans, like fake “reasonable” Reps. Bryan Fitzpatrick, Don Bacon, Mike Lawler, Marianette (marionette?) Miller-Meeks, David Valadao, Mike Turner et al (yes, we’ll be naming you constantly For-Ever), I say this with all my heart & soul (and a message to readers it’s an expression, violence is not the answer): Rot In Hell.
🎥 Missed yesterday’s “Amped Up w/ Cliff Schecter?” Don’t worry! We clipped the best parts.
Watch Cliff, David Schuster and guest Jonathan Larson tear into Trump’s economic con job, the gutting of Medicare & Medicaid, and how Walmart got muscled into silence. It’s equal parts outrageous, hilarious, and terrifying.
👉 Catch the highlights before they disappear from your feed.

My pal, award-winning reporter.author, Brian Karem, had a great convo on Substack with two legends—former ABC News Anchor Sam Donaldson & former White House Press Secretary Joe Lockhart (who was there—as was our own David Shuster—when the RW conspiracy of bullshit to upend our politics began with a land deal in Arkansas, “Whitewater:). We do a lot of press criticism here, and with good reason. Here some of hte best try to help you sort it out. Check it out! [ [link removed] ]
More on the budget bill from The Coffman Chronicle, who explains a provision that “prevents federal courts from using appropriated funds to enforce their own rulings.” [ [link removed] ] What does it mean? Well, Trump’s already slow-walked compliance with courts, disputing words like “facilitate.” This will put the onus on plaintiffs to have posted a bond, making court decisions harder to enforce. It’s authoritarian to its core—like Trump. The Frankenstein bill must be stopped
🐱 KITTY PIC!
Phew. We need an emotional break for a sec. In fact, Rocki has the same thing in mind as me for the weekend. Well, maybe a bit of tequila too. For me, not her. At least as far as I know! 😉
🎥 VIDEO ON DEMAND!
The always apropos Cosplay Kristi proposed a “Hunger Games” Reality Show for immigrants to compete to be citizens. Yes, it’s real. As we’ve said ad nauseam, there’s no bottom for for these sociopaths. Except, perhaps, the 7th Circle of Hell
