The problem is this: #Federal grants allow states to *refuse the money*, and thereby refuse to implement the programs. See, for example, the #aca, #medicare subsidies, #covid payouts, the list of benefits the #GOP has refused to give its poorest citizens is legendary, and I posit, criminal.

So while I totally support CA Rep #Torres and her cosponsors, I put it to you, as a woman who has spent untold dollars to support local Texas teenagers who couldn't get abortions, where is the legislation that demands the GOP spend the money that #Congress allocates?

Hunger in a country where people have yachts inside their other yachts is a moral failure of society, of culture, of humanity. We cannot allow this to continue. Children are hungry. What the fuck is wrong with us? We are good people, being controlled by evil. It's time to let the good burn the darkness back to where it belongs.
