## Resource

Indiana is pulling out of the federal SUN Bucks program again—this time for 2027—despite millions of kids relying on it to eat during summer breaks. The state argues the economy’s strong enough, but critics say food insecurity doesn’t vanish when school ends, especially in food deserts. Parents who depended on the program are heartbroken, and lawmakers are pushing back, with Rep. André Carson introducing a bill to force Indiana to rejoin. With billions in reserves, some say it’s time to feed kids, not politics. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
