In a burst of energy before she died, my mom urged us to take her to where she'd be buried. Cupping my dad's face, she talked about how magical their life was together. It was the most profound moment of my life, and it wouldn't have happened if we listened to her doctors.

What a ridiculous question from CNN. SNAP funding DOUBLED in 2020 and never came back down. Obvious fraud. Humanity is acknowledging SNAP is RIFE with abuse and the most compassionate thing we can do is make sure funds are going to those who need it. Thank you @SecRollins
