This editor wishes he owned stock in what used to be the Kinko's nearest to the Capitol — members of Congress can't get enough of their blown-up photos or people and X posts. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, who sadly placed third in a poll of who is the face of the Democratic Party today, took to the floor with a sob story about a constituent who depends on SNAP for her growing family. "This is real life, y'all," says Crockett, who promises to keep calling out the Republicans' bulls**t.
This is real life, y’all.

These aren’t “democratic talking points”—this is a real mother and real babies at risk of going hungry, all because Republicans want to be greedy.
Somebody please tell me how you can feed a growing family of 6 on $15 per day…you can’t.

The post continues:
… are snatching food away from babies and their mothers—and if they’re uncomfortable hearing the truth, imagine how uncomfortable it is to live it.
We’re going to keep calling out their cruelty, their hypocrisy, and yes—their bullshit.
Speaking of B.S., Republicans are snatching food away from babies? How, by banning you from using SNAP to buy sugary sodas?
Maybe we should help promote our citizens to rise up from poverty instead of keeping the dependent on government handouts.

Ma’am, why does she have 5 kids and no husband? Why am I expected to pay for her and her kids to eat?

How many people are working just enough to stay on government assistance

I fed 3 kids on less than that you can do it if you use your head and make meals that are filling.

What plan is the Trump administration implementing that will take food away from babies? Asking for a friend

Snatching food away? How about we talk about poor life choices. Having 6 kids to feed with no job and depending on the federal government? Absolutely disgusting! It's time to hold irresponsable women like this accountable!

Crockett says the mother picked up extra hours at work, as that's what mothers do. So, presumably, she does work part-time.
Why you need so many handouts? S stands for supplemental.

According to Democrats every single program in government is vital and cannot be cut or ended. GTFOH with that bullshit.
The babies came from a man. She needs to sue HIM or THEM for support. Not expect it from me! Me and hubby work full time and no way we get $1000 for food for the month. How much are we giving her for housing?

She sounds like a 7th grader reading her book report. Maybe this single mother of 5 needs to discover birth control. Popping out babies for more handouts is beyond irresponsible. How much did she cost Medicaid for those 5 pregnancies? Why are the fathers not paying support?

Democrats want people living in a constant welfare state.

The people will keep voting for them if they keep the handouts coming … it's pretty simple.
