Kids eating what’s in their weekend backpack on the way home on Friday because they’re hungry. The fact that we have hungry children (or hungry anyone) in this country is an immoral disgrace.

Trump thinks people like Jeff Bezos need a tax break….even if the money comes from the SNAP program. Disgusting!
