Got asked about SNAP on an AMA tonight with Senate Democrats, so I shared my personal experience. When my dad got sick with MS, we didn't have an income while my mom looked for a job. Seven kids in our family and food stamps kept us fed during that... time. All seven of us kids grew up to give back to our communities—whether it was my sister who became a teacher or my brother who became a firefighter. SNAP is an investment in people. I won't support ANY cuts to SNAP.show more

@SenateDems For ONCE — would you answer why you voted NO on The Protection of Women and Girls Sports ACT?

Who knows someone living in Las Vegas or Nevada? 🌵🎰 That state dishes out $8,000 per grant for each student and processes applicants faster than you can say "Jimmy John's" – under 2 weeks! 🚀🥪 I can help them enroll 8-10 students per month. You do the math – that's some serious cash! 💸💸 Let's get them rolling in the dough while learning a valuable trade! 💪✨

SNAP’s $127B budget in 2022 fed 41M people—but also saw $1.3B in fraud. The program’s bloated bureaucracy prioritizes dependency over real solutions. Instead of endless handouts, redirect funds to job training, medical pricing reform, and policies that empower families to thrive without government checks. Your story’s heartwarming, Senator, but taxpayers deserve efficiency, not feel-good slogans. Let’s fix the system instead of throwing cash at failure.

@SenateDems no wonder you can't do anything. you have been suckling on the government teat for all your life

@SenateDems ARE YOU AN ILLEGAL ALIEN OR FRAUDSTER? Your story is completely irrelevant for legit, needy legal citizens.

@SenateDems That’s exactly what it’s for, not for people to live their entire lifetime abusing it or illegally aliens.

@SenateDems Smurfing and fraud isnt "giving back to the community." You're a parasite

So growing up poor STILL didn't affect your attitude of superiority? Taking cuts on the WA ferry system, which has gone downhill for decades under your watch. What if you cut in front of someone's cancer treatment? A family reunion? A wedding, a funeral, a soccer game? You don't care about anyone but yourself and your kickbacks.

Yes Snap is important, but the program's efficiency is equally critical. With $1.3 billion in fraud and a focus on short-term aid, shouldn't we also prioritize policies that empower families to achieve self-sufficiency, like job training and medical pricing reforms, rather than just expanding dependency?

@SenateDems It’s wild how phony and algorithmic you Democrats are.

@SenateDems Trump's plan to cut SNAP and Medicaid isn't just cruel, it's a direct attack on working families and the vulnerable, all to fund tax breaks for the wealthy. His "waste, fraud, and abuse" rhetoric masks a heartless agenda that starves communities while lining billionaire pockets.
