Did you know that over 1.3M active duty service members and veterans rely on SNAP benefits to feed themselves and their families?

Now you know.

So, just to clarify, senators should drop their requirements because the Admin has refused to allow the FDA to provide SNAP benefits and removed ACA tax credits? The Dems can't do anything, so they should give up?

No Labels for the [R] win, it seems.

It's been 33 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

Another day that our neighbors in AZ CD-7 are going without representation in Washington.

Seat Adelita Grijalva!

What are you so afraid of, Speaker Johnson?

I'd be down for that. A subscription voodoo doll, as it were, showing the harm we'd like to inflict.

I wish I could, but that would involve restarting it just to cancel it again. The Times lost me early in the campaign last year with their coverage, or lack thereof.

As leaders argue over the fate of Gaza, the civilians are in a humanitarian crisis. They rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️🙏

Oh man, I love this project so much. Free advice from the grandma you wish you had

The Washington Post @washingtonpost.com · 1d

A group of Jewish grandmas, or bubbes, have been offering advice and comfort to anxious D.C. residents.

The ‘What Would Bubbe Do?’ sessions give people the chance to ask a bubbe about issues ranging from job loss to relationship struggles.

Bubbes volunteer to do what they do best: Counsel troubled souls

Why crowds of young professionals have been lining up to get advice — and hugs — from other people’s bubbes.

I haven’t seen anyone talk about how Jane Doe - an Epstein survivor - just sued the Bank of New York Mellon for funding Epstein and failing to file a Suspicious Activity Report. A Mellon heir is the one who gave $130M to pay the troops. Seems bribey to me.

If That’s a donation, it goes to the treasury and only congress can decide how to spend it. No such (lawful) thing as private payment of government obligation.

Our military is being paid by an anonymous donor.

Our WH East Wing was demolished for a ballroom - paid for by donors.

These aren’t acts of benevolence or patriotism.

This is the oligarchy assuming control, insidiously becoming part of how we function.

Every American should reject it.

Dude acting like a toddler. He threw it out?

How do you handle it when someone makes you feel small about something you were proud of?

Unrelated

I've been trying to perfect a homemade cinnamon pie over the last week and I finally thought I was getting somewhere. The first two attempts, I totally underbaked the crust and the bottom was raw. This time, I blind baked the crust longer and nailed the texture, but ended up overbaking the top a little so it looks darker than usual.

I was actually proud of this one. The flavor was warm, spiced, and the texture was smooth. Definitely not perfect, but progress.

I gave my partner a slice to try and he took one bite, made a face, and threw it straight into the trash. He said it "looked burnt" even though it didn't taste burnt. No suggestions, no kindness...just tossed it. I know not everyone has to like everything I bake, but that reaction honestly stung. It takes a lot to hurt my feelings and I'm feeling incredibly discouraged. I never thought I'd cry over a pie, but here I am...lol

How do you handle harsh or dismissive reactions to something you put effort into? Do you keep baking for

My only objection is that it makes Stephen Miller look too tough. Could we get one that shows him unhinging his jaw to swallow something whole?

Mister Midnight @mstrmidnight.bsky.social · 2d

Perhaps the Lt. Gov. should be reminded that the original conflict that he extols so strongly was a defeat (and at least partially to maintain slavery).
