The deliberate cruelty of this action is stunning … To deliberately interfere with states’ own efforts to cover the food crisis created by MAGA intransigence about SNAP is nothing short of barbarous. It is an overt and explicit statement that the deprivations and hunger of our own citizens are of no concern to Donald Trump whatsoever. Poor people are nothing but a political card to be played in his perverse moral universe. “Let them eat cake!” The man and his administration are entirely morally bankrupt.

Well said, Dan. Their cruelty is probably the hardest thing to understand. Absolutely no compassion for your fellow human beings is a rare thing, and awful to witness.
