📌I was the managing editor at Stars and Stripes and can tell you that Pete Hegseth is the first SecDef I am aware of to be openly booed by military families on a military base.
📌This is the most significant pushback I have seen to this administration's racist, hostile initiatives.

It’s a constitutional crisis. There is absolutely no reason the Senate should be connecting business as usual.
He detests poor people, but pretends to like farmers. He hates them too.
WIC is a bargain between rural farmer representatives those of urban poor. It subsidizes price of farm products. w/out WIC, the price of some commodities would collapse. But, there won't be immigrants to work on farms anyway.
