BREAKING NEWS: We’re suing the Trump administration for illegally suspending SNAP benefits.

Approximately 1 in 6 Oregonians receive SNAP benefits, including more than 214,000 children and 130,000 older adults.

If everyone is reeking of garlic there's no problem.

Garlic blasphemy aside, since when did anyone "rate" seasonings? Do they choose their food based on popularity?

Someone just told me that garlic is an “overrated seasoning” and long story short it’s always painful when a friendship ends.

The USDA has funding set aside to keep food assistance programs running during emergencies.

Trump just won’t release it.

440,000 Minnesotans - and millions more Americans - will pay the price.

I would take the pro-life movement a lot more seriously if they were marching in the streets to demand full funding for SNAP and WIC like they march to protest against abortion.

#Trump #ballroom

Disgusting to think that children are going to starve and not get medical benefits because the selfish egotistical piece of 💩 wants a ballroom with his name on it.

Repulsive 🤢 and anti American. 🇺🇸 😠

Look at this - two young deer having fun in the rain as they chase each other around our garden. We’ve had several four-legged visitors lately, but I’m unable to identify the small creature in the final clip - could it be a stoat or a weasel? #Shropshire

Katie got into Halloween Cat Mode moments after the fall foliage display was arranged. Gnorbert was not impressed. But he never is.

Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 84th day out of the last 96.

12 days of work in over 3 months.

With full pay and benefits.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.

My family depends on SNAP as well. I've got a bin stuffed with rice, flour, grains, nuts & dried fruits for just such an occasion, & am going to Aldi this week to buy a cheap turkey, potatoes, cabbage, carrots & onions with my last portion of benefits, which should last us several weeks. After that?

If we can’t read Mary Shelley's Frankenstein together in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a vintage bottle of Château Lafite-Rothschild in an ominous Victorian mansion during a full moon on a cool October night with the sound of wolves in the distance, then aren't we both wasting our time?
