KY GOV. BESHEAR: “If they eliminated the Department of Education and its funding, that’s half a billion dollars in meals for kids that otherwise might go hungry.”

Once the child is born, the Republicans don't care if the child lives in poverty, is hungry, undereducated, marginalized, or is a victim of gun violence at school
Also, that will be a hit on the farmers and those who are providing that food and resources to the schools.
Great work DJT.
So, where are the new jobs for all these people who have been abruptly displaced for gainful employment?
Trump doesn't give even half of a crap if American children starve or die. He couldn't even be bothered to visit the plane crash recently. He does not care how many citizens die.
I think it goes beyond just hungry kids. I didn’t realize how much our government was feeding children through schools until my kids were in public school. It is vital these children get meals. I fear it could be catastrophic if these programs are cut. Food insecurity is very real across the US.
Not to mention all those special education children. My son had to use those servers and it got him ready to attend college. He’s now finished and has his degree. Please don’t rule out all these kids, some just need some specialized education.
For a party that points fingers at Democrats and accuses them of being the party of identity politics, so-called Republicans are shooting themselves in the foot again and again AND AGAIN, and for absolutely no other reason than to own the libs. Stupidest movement in the history of American politics.
Just realized I didn't clarify: @govandybeshear.bsky.social is being asked on @amanpourcopbs.bsky.social about Trump's tariffs, which are having a huge impact on Kentucky's $9B in exports to Canada. Nevertheless, 2/3 of Kentuckians voted for Trump and that support doesn't seem to be eroding.
It's amazing that Kentucky can vote for two of the biggest assholes in the Senate ... Mitch McConnell and Rand Paul ... Yet show that they have a brain and elect Andy Beshear as their Governor ... Kind of mind boggling actually!
KY has a dem governor, which is wjo you're listening to. And he was almost the vp pick for Kamala... many local elections go blue too. So it's not all republican pieces of shit.
I'm going to talk slowly before i decide to block and move on with my life. I know he's a Dem governor even talked about as V.P. candidate for Harris. My issue is the state votes 2 of 3 for 🍊💩 and now crying about what they voted for. It was okay when only Black folks were going to get fuxk
Where did I say he wasn't a Dem or wasn't a good human being. I asked who did KY vote for in Nov. They did this to themselves. And were comfortable with it until it bit them in the ass. I have to worry about my own safety. I won't burden myself worrying about folks who voted to harm me 🤷🏿♂️
“Pro-Life” is a joke. They don’t gaf about children after they’re born. They’d rather be a selfish, hypocritical, bitch and preach about Jesus while watching children starve.
What tf happened to “protect the children” ?!? Conservatives have no moral backbone.
Trump maybe wants the nation to follow the Huckabee-Sanders plan and put the kids to work. I am just sitting here waiting for republicans in congress to write and pass a bill that kids need to work. Billionaires need the labor I guess.
They did not eliminate a department. That is illegal and only Congress can do that. They have stolen from the American people and broken countless laws.
Trump doesn't care if his maga kids starve. He definitely doesn't care if any other kids do! His pro-life followers don't care what happens after a child is born. No push back from them.
Not to mention they won’t be educated because vouchers are nothing but a discount in private school fees that no one but the wealthy can afford even with the discount!
Former friend of mine:
1) Hispanic.
2) 2 daughters, one of whom is on an IEP.
3) Works for the DOE in our state.
Still voted for Trump. 🤦🏻♀️
I still can’t wrap my brain around it.
And no one in the current administration gives a flyin' flip. How long will it take for 70% of voters figure out this was a bad deal? I give it another six weeks, max.
Sorry, my reply was pretty vague. I was referring to your comment about it taking six weeks for 70% of voters to figure out the errors of their choice. I don’t know that that many will ever realize it or own up to it.
Well, he can't run for governor again so he'll definitely be free to have at it. There was a lot of rumbling trying to get him to run in 2024. I've lived here most of my life, I'd vote for him.
I have twice now. He works for all of ky .. even those who voted against him. Even half the farmers I know voted for him. They are strictly gop voters as a rule.
half the country voted for their kids to be hungry. The only way to get the white trash to realize theyve been screwed is for them to lose their Section8, foodstamps etc. We can bring the DOE back in 2028 if its that big a deal. Breeders dont care about me, im supposed to care about them? No.
They often are. I worked at a Ky rural school in 2007 and stone kitchen staff worked to pay for insurance for her family. Her paycheck averaged $20 a week.
If this truly happen, I hope people begin filming those kids not receiving a meal and publishing on social media. As the saying goes, "let's make them famous"! Not the kids but the Trump administration. Let's shine a light(s) on these assholes.
It wouldn’t matter. I posted pictures and videos of children being starved, bombed, and then some very single day for over a year and it made zero difference here because of how the media spun everything. I don’t think many people actually care about kids that aren’t theirs.
The right wing don’t care. Kirk once said it doesn’t cost much to raise a child . Recall know that isn’t true. I found it very condescending coming from a rich guy is clueless.
The bigger issue is WHY are these kids going hungry. THAT is the root of the problem. This should not be happening in America.. is it parental, is it financial or is it just a question of values?
I agree with you Andy! However President Musk & his lil' dog Trump are heartless bastards that don't care about anyone but themselves & want that money to go to THEM to boost their already over inflated EGO's! The Trump's are already known for stealing from a children's cancer charity.
It’s funny that people seem to think they give a damn. Elonia said that we would have a painful few years to get over this. Like they’re gonna do any suffering.
If the Trumps defund the Federal Bureau of Education billions of kids will starve and die and melt into dust but thats what the fashionistas want so we have to send Maxine Waters to save America
Democrats should face the fact that Republicans actually want kids to go hungry. They would like to see kids starving to death. That’s a fact — hard to accept but that’s a fact.
They don’t care about the hungry kids, they don’t care about the companies or farmers who make/grow the food that is bought with that money, they don’t care about the supply chain that brings the food to the schools… that’s a lot of hungry people right there.

Conservatives do not care about other people's kids. Conservatives do not care about other people. Conservatives do not care. Caring requires empathy, and empathy is counter to conservatism.
DT and Musk don't care at all. The children are taught at home and mom stays at home and cooks food, which she can no longer afford because the prices in the supermarket are through the roof. They let children go hungry, die in shootings, they don't care. They want child labor for the poor.
I believe that the proponents of these policies would see that as a benefit of doing so rather than a drawback. To them, the idea of the public good being served through taxpayer dollars is intrinsically offensive, even when and where that public good ultimately bennefits them as well.
I think that to the minds of people like this, that's pretty much it. Their cynicism and cruelty precludes the idea that there's any point in trying to help anyone. That same cynicism tells them that anything which can be used to personally enrich themselves can and should be used to do so.
Apparently republicans don’t care if kids starve. Those big corporations need their tax cuts. I am being sarcastic on that sentence, but not the first. It’s a fact that republicans don’t care to withhold food, medicine, & shelter from those in need. I grew up poor in eastern Kentucky. I see them.
Kids schmids...once they pop out of that uterus they are on their own
They should be able to find work in a coal mine or a chicken processing plant before school
There also would be no funding for special education in the schools. Not to mention title 1 …they don’t understand there are title 1 schools in red states and red rural areas that depend on federal funding.
he is forgetting to tell you that if they dismantle it, special needs kid programs are eliminated leaving the parents with nothing and their kids with no education. This dude is a cold ass fuck face
The GOP are part of the MAGA CULT.
THEY don’t care about starving children—they all voted AGAINST purchasing formula from Canada for infants during COVID. Warped by greed, power and HATE.
I thought Kentucky voters picked the loser themselves? Wait, are you telling me they had no idea they voted for the Aristocracy (aka Meritocracy)? I think I can hear Musk now, saying "Let them eat bluegrass."
MAGAts don't care if children go hungry.
Kids should have picked better parents.
For MAGAts, it's all about the cruelty.
If they can make someone else's life worse, then the MAGAt feels better about their crappy life.
They are the deplorables.
Hillary got it right.
Exactly. Parents have to fill out forms every year for the school to get that money. Again, farmers will lose contracts tied to school lunches, causing them to lose money. Bet many will regret voting for Trump if this goes through. Also, a portion of Special Ed. Is funded by Federal Government.
I'm sure Elon doesn't care about hungry children.
Either way, how did these guys think that they could just make snap judgments on what programs stay or go without a proper investigation? The stupidity of this administration and it's cronies is stunning.
KY is really low in educ. return on investment and how much gov. money goes to each child. That means the money is being spent on KY's "system" rather than the kids. KY should tax the shit out of guns and ammo to pay to feed hungry kids, and use education money for educating, not the "system".
I'd be willing to bet that kids in KY's schools who need to be fed with gov. funds have guardians that have enough money to buy guns, ammo, tobacco, booze, gas, registration, fishing gear, licences, ISP's, cable or satellite TV, new cell phone or computer every cpl of years, birthday and xmas gifts.
i was one of the Kentucky kids that would have gone hungry without the free-reduced lunch program. i was skin and bones malnourished until i got on that program. kentucky needs this funding.
Doesn't he know that when he says that, Christian Republican voters pull out a bottle of champagne, pop the cork and celebrate that poor children are going to starve?
Poor, non-white and disabled people suffering are what Republicans live for now.
That’s the point. If kids are hungry, they can’t learn. If they don’t get an education, they are far more likely to settle for low paying jobs and poor working conditions.
Effects red states the most but it’s what they voted for. Sacrifice the health and well being of their own children just to get a 34x felon, Nazi loving, rapist into the WH and own the libs. So much WINNING lol
He’s right. It’s d*mn awful. It means that it would be a walk in the park for the state to allow middle school girls in Kentucky to have their rapist’s babies.
But, hey, little girls, don’t go looking for consistent food at your school bc that’s not what the Chr. Nat’s idea of “pro life” is.🤬🤬🤬
They don't care about the kids only the fetuses. They would live to have every child except their dead. Why do you think they live their AR's so much AR=dead kids.
Republicans do not care if kids go hungry. Republicans do not care if kids aren't safe in schools. Republicans do not care if children die. Republicans do not care about children, period.
Exactly. They are pro birth, not pro life, which I don’t understand. What’s the point of wanting more babies to be born only to neglect them, let them starve or have them shot?
Trump doesn’t give a rat’s ass about children, especially if they’re poor. He and Elon are celebrating how many children in Africa will die of starvation & lack of medical care, once provided by USAID.
Noo I won’t be able to walk down to the cafeteria & grab a breakfast (using my daughter’s student number bc teachers don’t get no perks) then share the stuff I don’t want with 1st period :(
The Trump/Musk administration is a coup attempt. DOGE is a Trojan horse with no legitimate purpose. We must unite before their plan can succeed. Spread this message far and wide.
Not just in Kentucky but in all US states. Some kids don’t get any other food but at school. It is cruel and Musk + Trump are vengeful narcissists. Cruelty is the point.
This will definitely hurt red states. Not that they care about schools. But their schools will care about losing millions and millions of dollars of aid.
Hope this clarity reaches some deluded victims of the con: There will be no checks made out to taxpayers for the government shutdowns. All that will be stolen via crypto through a Sovereign Wealth scam that Trump just created last week.
Kentucky voted for this…… they voted for Trump, so they are now doing their part to make America Great Again. You would think that they would be happy to do their part…… instead of complaining about starving children…..
I worked for the 2020 Census—the pandemic census—all across TN and into KY. Many people in TN wouldn’t participate bc they don’t trust government. It was just the opposite in KY even deep in the hollers bc Gov Beshears was on TV every day telling his constituents how it benefited their communities.

They’re not pro life, they’re pro birth.
Great work DJT.
So, where are the new jobs for all these people who have been abruptly displaced for gainful employment?
Make it make sense!

Andy Beshear is on @amanpourcopbs.bsky.social and the host is pointing out that Trump's support is holding despite its impact on KY.
From the time Trump descended his escalator, we have been in a never-ending era of doubling/tripling/quadrupling down.
Without the #DOE kids with disabilities/special needs will be pushed to the side!

Those days were voted away.
Trump’s about walls and separation. Pay to play..

Newsflash, they do not.

So, no he didn’t vote for it.
They don't even care about their own children, why should they care about yours?!!!
