Kids are back in school where they can get free or reduced price lunches. But that will be gone in the summer when school is out. If only there was a program that would feed them over the summer. A federal program that would provide $36.6 million emergency nutrition program funding this summer. Just a dream I guess.
"...if the rules for the federal program would just let states have more "flexibility" to "allow Montana to design a plan that meets its needs," then maybe the state would submit a request for funds."
What this means is Gianforte, his backers and his minions want to be able to stuff most of the $36.6m in their own pockets without the feds coming back later and asking questions.
I cannot tell you how angry this makes me. Top it off with not being allowed to do "grab and go" or provide a "grab and go" breakfast and we're backsliding fast. A bit of OT good news: Both of the reich wing folks running for school board lost to retired educators - both of whom have dedicated a great deal of time and effort outside of school hours to actually educate the children.
if the rules for the federal program would just let states have more "flexibility" to "allow Montana to design a plan that meets its needs," They need more $500/hr consultants to tell them how to make sure the users of the system can't afford more than mac n cheese or ramen.
There should be one state Wydahomonkota.
I'm an atheist, but if anyone deserves nomination to sainthood, it's Chef Andres.
Doesn't count unless Cary Grant says so.
Oh bother, will Liz Taylor do?

Or worse: those poor people are a trick of the Devil to make you think Prosperity Jesus Capitalism doesn't work. Don't fall for the trap!
The "win-win" here is that cruelty and appeal to base are the same thing. They like it when their government hurts the right people.
You've got to be cruel to be cruelIn every measureCruel to be cruelIt's the very design
Agreed! There's an important lesson here about being able to find common ground with people we don't agree with.
"I'd love to radish you."
Subject-verb agreement is elitist.

Ayup. “ This feels like cruelty for cruelty’s sake.”
Or, more broadly, "conservative principles."
