Nowhere have the changes to America’s second-largest social safety-net program taken hold as rapidly as in Arizona, where the number of SNAP recipients has fallen by about half, the steepest drop in the country.

That ​means lost benefits for more than 457,000 Arizonans, including nearly 196,000 children, according to DES data as of the end of May.

Trump won AZ by 5%.

But by not voting we stopped a genocide, man.

Something something the majority of Arizonans voted for this.

Majority of voted does not equal majority of population

I'm sure those having food insecurity can be comforted knowing that while they are going through this, Elon is going to be a trillionaire, so that's really something.

Also, Donvict and his family and his pals are self-dealing like a motherfucker, to the tune of BILLIONS.

Happy 250th to us!

Arizona Beverages USA was founded in Brooklyn, New York. They are now headquartered in Woodbury, New York.

Don't give Jersey anything, they don't deserve it.
