So much lying. First, there *is* a legal mechanism for tapping contingency funds.

Second, most important, Johnson cites times when Trump ILLEGALLY moved money around, especially to pay military. Trump won't break the law for hungry people, though.

Why?

Q: In the last Trump shutdown, he made sure SNAP benefits went out. Why do you think he shouldn't do that this time?

MIKE JOHNSON: The president has done exactly what he did in the first term, and that is bend over backward to make sure we mitigate the harm. The money doesn't exist to do it.

"Gender mutilation" mention on the USDA page is bizarre. Unless they are offering advice on best practices for castrating farm animals, this is totally not in their wheelhouse.

Do they really think people are going to keep buying this as the new prices come out?

Lying is bad, but I can at least understand the logic of lying when you think you'll get away with it. But why lie if you're guaranteed to get caught? What is the point?

Really heartening news. A full vote of the entire 9th circuit vacates the opinion reversing Immergut in Portland case.The entire court will now hear it. Immergut opinion is quite important b/c it applies deference but still finds can’t let Trump have his way when that is “untethered to the facts.“

The New York Post is owned by Lachlan Murdoch, solely because his daddy bought it and passed it on to him.

And it's backing Andrew Cuomo, a meathead whose whole career in politics stems from his daddy being good at it.

But *Mamdani* is the nepo baby, because his mom was a filmmaker? Sure.
