Donald Trump deleted this from the government website.

Let's be clear: there's funding available to cover SNAP benefits next month. Trump is stopping SNAP benefits because he wants to. He is forcing mommas and babies to go hungry.

People whose favorite literary genre is dystopian fiction (it’s me, I’m people) will tell you that the fall of humanity rarely happens in a brief period of time. It happens when small changes become accepted, ultimately advancing to the point of no return. We are here.

Lmao what (from today's Breaker newsletter)

(Exclusive.) Bari Weiss this week clocks up four weeks on the job as chief booker (sorry, editor-in-chief) of CBS News. Breaker hears that she has unimpressed staffers with a series of bold ideas in the 9 am call.

Last week, following the jewel heist at The Louvre, Weiss suggested they interview author Dan Brown. Staffers questioned what expertise in the matter Brown would provide CBS News viewers? Brown is well known as the bestselling author of the 2003 mystery novel, The Da Vinci Code, about a murder at The Louvre.

On Tuesday’s 9 am call, Weiss suggested a story about how people who are scared of climate change aren’t having children. “She is showing her worst self,” one CBS News journalist told Breaker. “People are running to avoid her.”

I don't understand this. Members of the military are required to keep national defense information secret - no NDA needed.Unless it's about unlawful orders? I wish we could see a copy of the NDA. www.reuters.com/world/americ...

Exclusive: US military officials required to sign NDAs tied to Latin America mission, sources say

U.S. military officials involved with President Donald Trump's expanding operations in Latin America have been asked to sign non-disclosure agreements, three U.S. officials say, a development that raises new questions about a military buildup that Venezuela fears may lead to an invasion.

BREAKING:

Judge Illston signals that she will GRANT a preliminary injunction blocking the shutdown-related mass layoffs.

She says expects to issue a written ruling today.

"It's the human cost that cannot be tolerated."

That's what Judge Illston said in court last time before blocking shutdown-related mass layoffs. A follow-up hearing to extend that order is about to begin.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ordered “forceful” strikes on Gaza late Tuesday following a dispute over hostage bodies, his office said, in what could be a serious test of the ceasefire brokered earlier this month by President Trump.
