The Guardian US: #Senate passes #Republican spending bill, averting government shutdown – as it happened
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2025/mar/14/donald-trump-chuck-schumer-aoc-gop-government-shutdown-us-politics-latest-news-live
#NPR TOO, supposedly independent. No mention of #medicaid/ #obamacare, #ebt #foodstamps cuts or the law to severely weaken #congress power #Republicans #democrats
NPR: Senate signals plans to avoid shutdown. And, Trump to visit DOJ

#BBC PRESS #SELLOUT TOO?
No mention of #cuts to #medicaid #foodstamps or double the cr cuts to fund #taxcuts to the #rich #onepercent
The reason all this matters is the average joe isn't paying attention to all this and will only notice it when their food stamps and #obamcare is cut. Obviously then it will be too late

Again, this bill DESTROYS #Medicaid Obliterates #Ebt #FoodStamps DOUBLES what it "saves" to give #TaxBreaks to the #Rich #Onepercent
It's a total #betrayal that #senate #democrats are willing to pass a #budget cutting law thats ONLY purpose is to cut #medicaid and #snap #foodstamps to give DOUBLE THE CUTS in taxes to the #wealthy. The #media ISNT even reporting this much AT ALL. Medicaid will be turned to a #blockgrant and #disabled will have a yearly spending cap and we won't be able to go to the doctor when we need to
SO THE DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO KILL #MEDICAID AND #FOODSTAMPS JUST WOW
"Multiple Senate Democrats -- who COULD block the bill thanks to the chamber's 60-vote filibuster rule but have long bemoaned government shutdowns as needless chaos -- have HAVE SAID THEY WOULD SUPPORT IT rather than further destabilize the government at a time when Trump adviser Elon Musk has ousted more than 100,000 federal workers. " (YES BECAUSE SCREW MEDICAID AND FOOD STAMPS)

SNAP and fresh plants and seeds
If you are on SNAP food stamps, just a reminder, you can use your SNAP benefits to buy plants and seeds to grow produce at any place that accepts SNAP and sells plants or seeds for produce, even fruit bearing trees.
Whether it is tomato plants in a pot, herbs in the windowsill, lettuce in containers, green beans from a hanging basket or a small to large garden plot, you can make your benefits go farther. Don't forget berries. Don't discount a few things on the patio. A wonderful hobby and distraction, also. No experience really needed
Items include:
• Seeds for producing edible plants and edible plants (e.g. , tomatoes and green pepper seeds or plants, and fruit trees);
• Edible food producing roots, bushes, and bulbs (e.g., asparagus crowns and onion bulbs); and
• Seeds and plants used to produce spices for use in cooking
For every $1 dollar spent on seeds and fertilizer, home gardeners can grow an average of $25 worth of produce. Growing food from seeds and plants makes SNAP benefits last longer, allowing recipients to double the value of their benefits over time.

You get the impression that #poverty is made and continued by design in the #USA. And there is almost no incentive for the #billionaires to end poverty at all, although they could very easily by just stopping #taxfraud or collecting the taxes that are already due today.
#Money flows to the super #rich (which pay less #taxes!) instead to the people in need.
The #AmericanDream is an illusion.
What a shit country. What a shit system.

"The idea that this is a way of taking on the for-profit food industry is an illusion. As I’ve noted, a great way to do that would be to introduce warning labels on unhealthy foods that actually show that they’re bad for you rather than just a neutral set of statistics. Warning labels wouldn’t restrict consumer choice, nor would they target only the poor. But the food industry is dead set against it and spreads propaganda to try to keep us from having more helpful nutrition labels. I’ve previously suggested another non-coercive way we could improve people’s ability to eat healthily: start public restaurants that offer 100 percent healthy options where people can eat for free. But RFK, Fetterman, and Congressional Republicans seem most intrigued by the idea that involves micromanaging the diets of the least well-off"
