Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Can you guess why they want these military teams organized by January?

It's so they'll be ready to go next November

Due to the ongoing government shutdown, SNAP is set to run out of money for the first time in its history. โ€œItโ€™s not that the administration canโ€™t pay upโ€ to fill the gapโ€”โ€œitโ€™s that it has chosen not to,โ€ @willgottsegen.com argues in The Atlantic Daily.
The Deadline for a Major Shutdown Casualty
Roughly 42 million Americans may not get their SNAP benefits on Saturday.

Trump: "They spent $900,093,000 on the catapults trying to get them to work. And they had steam, which worked so beautifully and it has for 50 years, right? So we're gonna go back. Seriously fellas, I want to make that change. I'm gonna do an executive order."

Rand Paul: "In the one instance you're killed on sight. On the other instance, if you're captured, we just say, 'Oh well, we're gonna send you back to your country.' It doesn't make any sense."

๐Ÿ˜ข Betty Ford once said that "if the White House West Wing is the mind of the nation then the East Wing is the heart.โ€

Well, it's gone now, because we have a grotesque president who is sick in the mind, and was born without a heart.

To hell with him -- and soon, please.

What happens when the govt. canโ€™t pay its soldiers, but a billionaire can? The answer should chill every citizen who still believes in democracy.

A billionaire just wrote a $130 million check to cover the military payroll. Sounds patrioticโ€ฆuntil you see what door that opens.๐Ÿ‘‡

Funding the military during a shutdown is not the same thing as keeping the entire ecosystem of bases, training, mess halls, contractors, etc. running. A paycheck does not make up for eroded morale and readiness. ICYMI @markhertling.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/for-the-mi...
For the Military, a Shutdown Is About a Lot More Than Just Pay
It also affects many other people, institutions, and services necessary for readiness.

They donโ€™t GAF about the Constitution, and theyโ€™ll do whatever it takes to keep Trump breathing long enough to seize a third term.

So when you start thinking your vote doesnโ€™t matter, remember this: they know it does. Thatโ€™s why theyโ€™re trying to take it from you.

This isnโ€™t going to end well.

He thinks control will keep him strong,
but truth outlives the tyrantโ€™s song.
For every heart that dares to dream,
undoes the power of his schemes.
Dreams are embers, fierce and bright,
turning silence into light.
Stand together, rise, redeemโ€”
the world is moved by those who dream. #resist
