Chronicling a body of evidence demonstrating that the U.S. government is horrifyingly tyrannical at almost every level, and authoritarianism, cronyism and corruption have poisoned almost every aspect of American life. We show the very real need for Americans to follow through on the Founding Fathers' instructions to overthrow their government and the evil corporations that control it.
If you find a news article or dumb corporate bigot on Twitter that has said or done something so egregious that it made you wonder why Americans don't band together and do something about those motherfuckers, it belongs here.

Why is it so hard for the writer to mention the hardships that the governors claim as the reason for not adopting the program? I went down the rabbit hole looking for the source and came across: H.R. 2617, the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023,” making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2023, and for providing emergency assistance for the situation in Ukraine, and for other purposes.
I can’t find anything deeper. The language in the resolution, stipulations for the funds. Is this the normal level of transparency?
Those states are just refusing the government money out of spite, that's all. There's no conspiracy or mystery behind it. It's just human pettiness and spite at the state government level, causing millions of children to suffer and starve needlessly.
Oh no doubt, usually they don’t claim they’ll play ball later though so I wanted to see what was different this time. Frustrating that I can’t find the source and that the reporting is so lacking these days they don’t think the source is relevant.
