Trump cuts food banks Read on Substack
This was drawn for the FXBG Advance.
My editor proposed two stories for me to cover last week, and I chose both. The first was on cuts to Friends of the Rappahannock. The other was on cuts to the Fredericksburg Food Bank. Both stories are important to this area, and as it turns out, one of them is important nationwide.
After reading the story about cuts to our local food bank, I did a little search and discovered this is going on nationwide.
For example, itâs happening in Central New York, Stockton, California, York County, New York, in Missoula, Montana, Nevada, Evansville, Indiana, Bozeman, Pittsburgh, Boise, Idaho, Alabama, North Carolina, and many, many more places. Notice that this is happening in a lot of red states.
Think of all the government workers Elon has laid off who canât afford groceries because of Trumpâs recession and inflation, and now they canât get any assistance from the food banks.
Itâs not all bad news. Thereâs still enough money in the budget for Donald Trumpâs golf trips, asshole billionaires and trust-fund babies will still get another huge tax cut, Elon will continue scoring government contracts to add to the $38 billion heâs already got from the government.
Iâm so glad I got to experience the Hands-Off protest yesterday. A blog for that is coming later today.
Creative note: I drew this at Starbucks on Friday night. I wanted to complete this weekâs cartoon for the Advance so I could focus on covering the DOGE protest in Washington, DC.
Now, Iâm writing this blog on the train home.
Music note: I listened to Pete Yorn while coloring.
