Texas is one of a dozen states that doesn't participate in the Summer EBT program that gives low-income children meals when school is out.

Abbott’s too busy trying to rid Texas of all rapists like he said he would…

Um... doesn't this impact a lot of poor, rural families? In other words, Republican voters?

The “I know children will go hungry but oh well” policy would be cartoonishly evil in a fictional setting

Abbott is a black-hearted evil man! What kind of a demon gladly leaves hungry children unfed?

But the kids have the 10 commandments and they can suppress their hunger with the knowledge of which ones are being broken by our dear leader Trump.

MAGAts think giving sustenance to children is a waste of food. They've already killed 💯 s of thousands of children abroad by destroying USAID, and now they're going for domestic terrorism/murder.

It’s not bad enough that Abbott chooses NOT to feed children, it’s the sheer joy he takes in doing it! He’s a cruel man.
