96% of children in Gaza feel that their death is imminent and almost half want to die as a result of trauma. 92% of the children in the survey were “not accepting of reality”, 79% suffer from nightmares and 73% exhibit symptoms of aggression. theguardian.com/world/2024/dec…

She doesn't seek to solve that: - healthier foods are the priciest foods in the store, - rural & urban SNAP participants have limited access to stores with fresh food, & - SNAP benefits are an avg $6.20 per person per day. There's enough restrictions already. Let's fix them.

President @realDonaldTrump, @BrookeLRollins, and @RobertKennedyJr are committed to Making America Healthy Again. Mr. President: It’s time to end taxpayer-funded junk food in food stamps.

Trying to pay for groceries & realizing a scammer has drained your account is bad enough. If Congress fails to extend protections for victims of SNAP benefit theft, people in this situation will have no way to get those stolen benefits replaced. How will they feed their families?

#SNAP benefits are at risk of theft due to insecure EBT cards, leaving families unable to buy groceries. Temporary measures to restore stolen benefits expire Dec. 20. Congress must act to protect vulnerable households. cbpp.org/blog/congress-…

15 years ago this kind of footage leaking was considered so damaging that it led the CIA to destroy Wikileaks and try to assassinate Julian Assange. Now war criminals post it themselves for fun.

Health care administrative costs are indeed much higher in the U.S. than in other countries. That's driven primarily by private insurance. In traditional Medicare, administrative costs total 1.3% of total spending.

Shouldn’t the American people be getting getting their money’s worth?

Israel bans the importation into Gaza of anaesthetics. Hence, the scores of children who are amputated daily, following Israel's bombings, are put to the knife without anaesthesia - if they are lucky to be taken to a functioning medical facility and not be bombed when in it.
