My INsnyde Take you missed in the VIP Weekend Edition: Trump Wants to Starve Kids, and Jim Lucas Calls the Hungry “Feral” |
|
In a move that could make Ebenezer Scrooge blush, Donald Trump is asking the Supreme Court to deny food stamps to struggling families — effectively starving children — while Indiana Republicans clutch their $2 billion state surplus like it’s holy scripture. And as 571,000 Hoosiers face reduced SNAP benefits, State Rep. Jim Lucas is busy calling his own constituents “feral” for needing help feeding their families. Meanwhile, food banks across Indiana are breaking under record demand, scrambling to fill the void left by heartless policymakers who seem more interested in hoarding cash than feeding kids. Democrats are begging to use a fraction of the state’s mountain of money to fund food banks, but the GOP budget committee prefers to play “hunger games” instead. It’s cruelty with a balance sheet — and Indiana’s poorest families are the ones paying the price. |

The Equal Protection Of The Laws From day one, the Trump administration has made its disregard for the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and its deep-seated racism too clear to ignore. Just a few examples will suffice: the recently-announced intent to limit the number of refugees the country will accept to 7500, while giving priority to White South Africans; directing ICE to stop and harass people based on nothing but skin color; the constant and ferocious attacks on DEI; the ongoing efforts to disenfranchise Black voters…the list goes on. And on. |
