The courts have ordered the administration to use its contingency fund for SNAP—and have made clear it can use its transfer authorities to fully fund SNAP.

It is not enough to do the bare minimum—they should do everything they can to ensure Americans put food on the table.

Americans are inclined to help their neighbors.

The Trump Administration is inclined to let Americans go hungry.

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

No matter how hard Trump tries to distract you, he can never silence Virginia Giuffre's story. We are joined by Virginia Giuffre's family and co-author to ensure her Epstein story is never forgotten. Watch the episode here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BJKPTymLsj8

The Epstein files stay hidden, but the Epstein Ballroom will be a prominent display.

I've launched an investigation into the contracting and approval process for the demolition of the White House—and whether the corporate donors funding Trump's ballroom are seeking favors with the Administration.

The American public deserves answers. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/news/t...
Trump demolishes the East Wing — and White House norms
The East Wing's rapid razing bypassed a detailed process for major federal renovation projects in Washington. Now, Senate Democrats are demanding answers.

I wish they said explicitly that there's $5 billion in emergency reserves they're refusing to use instead they're happy to let people - mostly children, the disabled, and elderly, starve.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

Jeffries on a death threat made against him by a pardoned J6 criminal: "Not a single Republican has reached out to me since that incident occurred, and that's no surprise because they cannot defend the fact that Donald Trump pardoned hundreds of violent felons who brutally beat police officers."

The President responded to peaceful protesters across this country with a video of himself wearing a crown, driving a fighter jet, and bombing peaceful protestors with human waste.

Are you kidding me? Republicans don't say anything about this? It's a total disgrace.

Just a reminder that — in the middle of a shutdown — House Republicans are on a paid vacation solely to avoid releasing the Epstein files and lowering your health care costs.

So let me get this straight…

Republicans call Democrats violent, terrorist, lawless, and so much more, but we aren’t the ones constantly wreaking havoc on this country.

Just today, a man Trump pardoned for storming the Capitol was arrested for threatening to kill Leader Hakeem Jeffries.
