Yesterday, a federal judge ruled that Donald Trump must release the emergency funding for SNAP — money that would help low-income families put food on the table.
But today, Trump immediately appealed that decision, trying once again to block those payments.
Let’s be clear: We’re not talking about large sums of money for families. We’re talking about a few hundred dollars that families rely on to feed their children — money that’s already sitting in the federal government’s reserve.
Donald Trump is using hunger relief as a bargaining chip. It’s despicable. It’s cruel. And it’s inhumane.
While Trump blocks help for families in need, he’s spending hundreds of millions building a ballroom. While he plays politics with food insecurity, his billionaire friends are getting richer — and children are going to bed hungry.
Enough is enough.
We need leaders in Washington who will never treat working families like leverage — leaders who believe that feeding our neighbors isn’t negotiable.
That’s the kind of leader I promise to be. But I can’t get there without your help.
