There is nothing good coming from this dysfunctional Trump administration, and I use that word cautiously. Cruelty and fear are the only things they have accomplished.

A hungry man is an angry man. Thank you for finally reporting on the crisis of poverty and hunger in America. We can spends TRILLIONS of dollars on bombs and war machines, but we cannot feed the children of this country? SHAME on us for voting in this entire slate of pedophiles and child killers. Talk about punching down. Talk about bullying. Talk about WWJD. They wear a Christian cloak and the let children go to bed hungry in their own community?

Out of sight, out of mind. That is a verse in the Trump Bible.

Thank you for highlighting the cruelty of this so-called administration.

Great reporting on such an important issue- hungry children. The rest of the country will feel it sooner than later.

This administration’s white skin blue eyed Jesus doesn’t see children, nor the poor, the vulnerable, or foreigners with kinds and justice. Just Greed cloaked in arrogance. Pathetic for sure.

Less than two weeks away from the nation's 250th anniversary, it's a shameful thing reading about families going hungry in America. We're supposed to be the richest country in the world. Abysmal.

This is what they think "Christian" nationalism is. There is literally nothing Christian about this administration. Evil, corrupt, cruel, hateful, racist, sexist, etc. monsters.

Thank you. There’s something very wrong with a country that doesn’t make sure that its people can eat.

Sadly, they want the disfunction which ultimately leads to distrust and then people disrupting so they can put their boot on the necks of the people. It's an authoritarian playbook as old as time. I'm a community organizer and we are working to build more people power to combat the ongoing authoritarian slide we are on. I encourage everyone to find some organizing group to engage with and join the resistance movement.

Grimm's Fairy Tales will have to take a step back... there is no fairy in the Trump Tales just hardship and death

The richest nation in the world allows children to experience hunger. It's time for regime change.

Reducing food assistance for children will result in adults who are not as healthy as they should be, physically, mentally, emotionally. Eliminating quality education for children and young adults will result in adults who have no critical thinking skills. Both of these devastating policies will ensure citizens who are easily swayed by charlatans. Will democracy survive?

Thank you for keeping your eye on this. Lack of nutrition as a child - a recipe for a kid who will not develop and learn what they otherwise would. Even without the cruelty seems anti utilitarian and short sighted. Not making America great certainly.

Republicans slash SNAP food benefits to pay for Trump’s $1.8 billion slush fund. Check this map to see who’ll go hungry and your local elected rep to hold accountable.
