The Trump administration told states on Saturday that they must “immediately undo” any actions to provide full food stamp benefits to low-income families, in a move that added to the uncertainty surrounding the nation’s largest anti-hunger program during the government shutdown. In late-night guidance seen by The New York Times, the Agriculture Department also threatened financial penalties against states.
Why is feeding people political? What value add is forcing people to starve? Monsters.


The notion of treating the recent elections as exclusively an indicator or how people feel about the gov shutdown is completely preposterous.
I don’t know how to be more clear about this: Evidence that the shutdown is negatively impacting conservative approval rates.
I didn’t ask for anything to do with election results. You brought that up. I’m asking about the government shutdown.
This is what you asked for a citation for. You didn’t ask for anything about conservative approval ratings (though tangentially, Trump’s approval rating is, for what feels like the hundredth time this decade, at an all-time low for his term this month). You asked for a citation on election results. I gave you a link to, in my opinion, one of the most biased “news” outlets correctly reporting the election results despite the most accurate source of election results being self-evident.
Anyway, this is a complete waste of my time. Asking for “scientific evidence” of a trend of political opinions is already a sign that you’re uninterested in any real discussion and want to defend your point for the sake of defending it. There is no “scientific evidence” of anything remotely related to national opinions on a subject. No poll, analysis, or first party results will satisfy you.
Turn this back on yourself. You have provided no citations, only statements. You have failed to meet the bar you claim to hold me to.
