Starting next month, the US Dept. of Agriculture will tighten rules for unemployed adults, without minor children or disabilities. It'll shrink food benefit enrollment by 700,000 people. Democrats are calling the food benefit cut "particularly cruel" during the Coronavirus outbreak, but so far, the trump administration refuses to postpone the cuts. Tax cuts for the rich will continue however.

This is criminal. These same people will lose hours of work because businesses are cutting hours. So they get less pay and now less food. This is unconscionable.

I just caught part of a report, I think they said a judge has stepped in to stop this from happening!
