26. Trump didn't care if people were unable to feed their families.

That’s what he has over us, his willingness to let others suffer and die to get what he wants. I’m not happy about the deal, but I’m not a parent who is wondering how I’m going to feed my kids if the orange shitstain doesn’t release the hold on SNAP benefits. I’m pretty pissed off, but what I’m mostly pissed about is that it came to this. The entire republican caucus, including Moses Mike, is willing to put people in existential danger just to force their agenda.

This is actually the messaging that dems need to go with, loud and clear. Trump was going to let Americans starve, he didn’t care. Dems took a black eye so that Americans could put food on the table.
