16 million children — have lost access to food assistance, the image of President Trump hosting a lavish “Great Gatsby”-themed party at Mar-a-Lago is nothing short of grotesque. As the government shutdown enters its 34th day, families across the nation are turning to food banks and charities for survival, while the president celebrates with millionaires and corporate elites under chandeliers of excess.
Two federal judges have ordered the Department of Agriculture to resume partial disbursement of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funds, yet the administration’s indifference remains chilling. Senator Chris Murphy rightly condemned this callousness, noting how the president flaunts his privilege while illegally withholding food benefits from struggling Americans.
Meanwhile, 13,000 air traffic controllers continue to work without pay, jeopardizing national safety. The contrast between this cruelty and extravagance reveals a moral collapse in leadership — one that demands not only outrage, but accountability.
