Absolutely useless

by MattG, Friday, May 01, 2026, 09:13 (27 days ago) @ Bryan (IrishCavan)

Jeffries just voted AGAINST letting SNAP recipients use their funds on rotisserie chicken.

Now, as Joe Pera said, I don’t know why a rotisserie chicken is 5.99 and an uncooked chicken is 15.99 and i find it better not to think too much about it.

But I DO know that it’s probably the most protein/calories per dollar in the grocery store, and that taking food prep out of the equation helps people who are unhoused, or just crushed for time.

Jeffries and 12 other dems voted no. He should be run out of office, not just out of leadership.
