Even though SNAP is funded through September, new regulations in the OBBB will require most folks to reapply for eligibility, and then have to meet onerous proof-of-employment requirements in order to sustain benefits.

But the cowardly eight enabled another kind of suffering, the loss of healthcare/skyrocketing premiums, that will begin in January, with no end in sight.

The lesser of two evils is still evil.

We should stand against evil.
