With the record-setting government shutdown dragging into its sixth week, more than 41 million people are still waiting on aid from the federal government’s largest anti-hunger program, also known as SNAP.
In a week without SNAP, Americans missed meals and skipped bills
For people on the margins of the nation’s economy, the federal food assistance program has become fundamental to their monthly survival.

I’m also loving how the Post is hiding so many comments that it’s inventing a new kind of ratio. Headed now for more hidden comments than likes!

To add to the pile, commenters pointing out the Nazi resemblance are right. And they don’t even misrepresent the story, which mentions the Nazis.

Making this story about how others feel is a mistake. These images simply are exclusionary.

Even as a white cis man, I’m repelled. This isn’t what my country looks like.

Fox News heavily attacked Joe Biden’s autopen pardons.
They've barely covered Trump's pardon of Binance founder he claimed to know “nothing about”

By tomorrow? Hot dang. Might be a record for fastest court order that Trump ignores.

So the Epstein vote isn't the only reason Mike Johnson should fear Rep. Yassamin Ansari. More of this, please.
Rep. Yassamin Ansari has set up a table and this sign outside Speaker Johnson’s office.

Of course I'm worried about socialism. I mean, just imagine if Mamdani one day becomes President and nationalizes industry, imposes historic tax hikes, goes after the media, builds a secret national police force, militarizes the country, and sends people to camps.

The problem in the USA, by and large, seems to be white men.

And a few white women who are aligned with them.

This also makes me think it’s MOSTLY white men and a few white women who are most easily influenced by nonsense propaganda brainwashing.

"Let me be clear: 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.”

For almost four decades, Nancy Pelosi has served the American people and worked to make our country better. No one was more skilled at bringing people together and getting legislation passed – and I will always be grateful for her support of the Affordable Care Act.

More Americans are seeing through DT's lies. Tariffs are raising costs, the tradewar crippling markets, and cuts to healthcare & food assistance are hurting our families!
While DT funnels tax dollars to his friends, adds BILLIONS to the deficit with tax cuts for the rich, and sells access & pardons.

All the pearl-clutching about Zohran Mamdani--by right-wingers who elected a half-senile old TV star president--is very amusing. For once the shoe is on the other foot.

Today, Speaker Emeritus Nancy Pelosi announced that she will not seek reelection and is retiring at the end of her term.

From her time working with Harvey Milk in San Francisco to her tenure as the first female Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi is the definition of a champion for equality.
