Gov. Beshear: “The president has both the funding and the authority to fund SNAP during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.”

A busy first day as your Mayor-elect: early morning interviews, transition announcements and meetings. More to say on all of it tomorrow.

But a highlight was lunch with my Congresswoman @aoc.bsky.social at Laliguras Bistro in Jackson Heights.

Zohran and AOC, smiling together in a restaurant.

With the Trumpian Hispanic realignment theory dead, this Home Depot boycott might be even more likely to materialize. Go back and read @adriancarrasquillo.bsky.social: www.thebulwark.com/p/scoop-ice-...

SCOOP: Immigration Groups Weigh Boycott of Home Depot

As ICE raids target the home-improvement chain, what does the company owe its customers and the immigrants who do work for them?

Oh, Trump was on the ballot alright.

A tweet from MeidasTouch (@MeidasTouch) says:
“JUST IN: Trump’s first post since the election results dropped might be his most pathetic ever.”
It includes a screenshot of a post from Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) that reads:
“‘TRUMP WASN’T ON THE BALLOT, AND SHUTDOWN, WERE THE TWO REASONS THAT REPUBLICANS LOST ELECTIONS TONIGHT,’ according to Pollsters.”

Last night was a thumping from coast to coast. Across the country, voters rejected chaos and cynicism – and chose leaders who are focused on the cost of everyday life.

Another shameless lie.

Trump’s own lawyers at USDA posted (then deleted) the guidance below that SNAP continues during a shutdown.

Can someone ask him to explain why he disagrees with Trump’s own lawyers?

🚨🚨🚨

Trump is openly defying multiple court orders and withholding food from 42 million Americans, mere hours after the USDA sent guidance to the states.

The incompetence is staggering.

His threat is illegal, immoral, and only causing more chaos and anxiety for food banks and hungry Americans.

Kudos to @nicollewallace.bsky.social for refusing to accept the usual BS about Merrick Garland’s reckless delays in investigating the crimes surrounding January 6th. She stays on the truth...even when others try to minimize or deflect.
