Congress approved a Biden administration initiative to feed poor children during the summer. But 15 states led by Republican governors opted out.

        My understanding is that she’s on the shortlist to be Trump’s running-mate.

          Doesn’t surprise me.

          She’s so awful that she’s literally blacklisted from setting foot on the Pine Ridge Reservation.

        I live in Texas, where our governor recently pined for shooting migrants at the border. I feel you.

          Yep. I actually have a discord buddy in Texas, and we talk about these things a lot. I empathize.

          Unfortunately I’m in Texas too. Can’t wait to get the hell outta here, probably close to a year and a half and we can leave, wife wants to wait til youngest is 18 and on his own.

          Hope we live that long. Stay warm.

        Kristi Noem is an absolute ghoul.

        Isn’t she the “good Christian wife” (of someone else) who spent years secretly knocking boots with that asshole from the Trump campaign, Corey Lewandowski (also married to someone else)?

        She’s also apparently a mother of three, which is hilarious in its own way because Republican school book bans are such that her kids could know all about Mommy’s Special Friend from the news and possibly her own behavior, but they would be irreparably harmed by reading a library book about it and that must NEVER happen.
