There’s a reason I keep tagging #HealthyIfYoureWealthy, #SocialCleansing & #eugenics on #ACIP posts.

While we can all say these people are nuts, we’re not listening to their advice, that’s great, but this “official” federal advisory committee’s guidelines are how #HealthInsurance determines what #vaccines they cover & what you have to pay out-of-pocket.

Meaning #poor families won’t be able to #afford to choose differently than what these incompetent #ConsiracyTheorist #AntiVaxxers have chosen.

This kind of #policy making — the #ACIP childhood #vaccine schedule, combined with not extending #ACA subsidies, adding #WorkRequirements to #SNAP / #FoodStamps & #Medicaid — all coming simultaneously in 2026 — is going to be an assault upon the #poor people of the #UnitedStates all while we are in a #Kshaped #economy with the #WealthGap ever widening.

A reminder that the largest demographic of Americans on food aid are white MAGA voters. By far. No other demographic is even a close second.

This is the Trump regime’s cruelty to distract from its own failures by punishing those who didn’t vote for him.

Oregon AG Dan Rayfield sues Trump over latest changes to SNAP benefits

In a lawsuit filed on Wednesday, Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield argued the Trump administration is permanently cutting off legal immigrants, such as people who came to the U.S. seeking asylum, from receiving their food assistance benefits.

The Trump administration says it will withhold SNAP food aid from recipients in most Democratic-controlled states starting next week unless they provide data about those receiving the assistance.

Almost tied my record this a.m. - 21 elevators to get a solo up! (My previous record is 22). I was at 20, then in a dramatic twist before the commercial break, a last-ditch rider from 42 to 44 caused me to get off and take 21 - the final stretch to the finish(!) One of the attorneys got up so far ahead of me, I saw them again, now with their breakfast, while I was just getting to my floor LOL

Upcoming #SNAP changes

#USDA Secy Brooke Rollins is promising big changes to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which currently helps almost 42M Americans buy #groceries.

In recent media appearances, she said attention on SNAP during the government shutdown "has given us a platform to completely deconstruct the program" & said details about structural changes to the program would be released this week.

Rollins made a case for sweeping changes to #SNAP by asserting the #USDA uncovered "massive fraud" in state data the agency demanded, & referred to stats suggesting wrongdoing without providing data or details.

The #Trump admin's latest campaign for SNAP changes comes as millions are already poised to lose #benefits as #states implement new #WorkRequirements & #eligibility rules that #Republicans in #Congress passed over the summer that are the deepest #cuts in history to the program.

In a Fox interview, Rollins said the further changes she is proposing will "make sure those vulnerable Americans who really need that benefit are going to get it. And for all the rest of the fraudsters & the people who are corrupt & taking advantage of it—we're going to protect the taxpayer, too."

Food policy experts say they are concerned that Rollins' talking points suggest a distorted view of the prevalence of #SNAP recipients committing fraud, & conflates fraud w/payment errors of any kind.
