Yesterday, Pope Leo posted the statement below (it's from his Dilexi te) on Twitter (aka X), and MAGA went wild plastering the posting with enraged comments. Someone shared this tweet in a Reddit posting devoted to Christianity and enraged MAGA posted so many hateful comments that Reddit took the posting down.
MAGA wants to wrap the cruelty of denying food to children in Jesus. Leo begs to differ.

"Performative Jesus washing is everywhere, and it seems to work. You can cover anything, the most bigoted, misogynist, hate-filled speech, any falsehood, and cover it with glitter, and flash, and CCM, make it acceptable, and even worshipped."

>2 dozen states sued the #Trump admin Tuesday over its recent refusal to fund #FoodStamps during the government #shutdown, seeking to spare roughly 42 million people from #hunger & financial hardship starting in a matter of days.
The states, including officials in Arizona, California & Massachusetts, asked a federal judge to force Washington to tap emergency reserve money so that families do not see an interruption to their benefits under #SNAP starting Nov 1.

~1 in 8 people in the #US receive food stamps, which avg ~$187 a month & cost the Federal govt ~$8B/month. #Congress must regularly approve money for it, though #SNAP maintains a sizable reserve to cover shortfalls.
Many congressional #Democrats & #Republicans encouraged the #Trump admin to use this funding to preserve #FoodStamps into Nov. But the Trump admin declined Friday to extend that reprieve, even though the #USDA said weeks ago it could reprogram the money to prevent benefit cuts.
In their lawsuit, officials from 25 states and the District of Columbia criticized the #Trump administration for its sudden reversal, arguing that the federal government has a legal obligation to maintain #FoodStamps by any means necessary.

"By law, the Department of Agriculture must maintain a reserve to pay SNAP benefits during times that there are unusual stresses on the system, and there is $6 billion sitting there in the treasury for just that purpose.
But the 'law' doesn’t matter to Trump, and that is another part of his despair campaign."

"For 42 million people who rely on SNAP, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as food stamps, it means the loss of grocery assistance when food banks are already stretched thin."

That is not true."
