Feminista and optimistic resister. I've been a waitress, a software engineer, and now a psychotherapist. Some of my values are honesty, responsibility, and empathy. I believe we can get ourselves out of this fascist mess.

Popok: The blue states and cities effectively brought the cases. The red states are suffering, and their AGs are sitting on the sidelines. There’s no red state that brought a case. Think about that: not one red state attorney general brought a case to help prevent starvation and suffering. None.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The Trump administration has a rainy day fund that will keep SNAP from expiring in November. Trump is refusing to use it.

Funding SNAP isn't a choice he can make. It's a legal obligation. USDA must release the funds and stop punishing the American people.

It's the 28th day of the government shutdown.

Trump has fled the country.

Speaker Mike Johnson won’t convene the House.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune refuses to allow a vote on food stamps.

This is Republican leadership.

The SNAP crisis could actually be resolved if the White House would stop illegally refusing to use a reserve fund to continue SNAP payments.

If Americans lose their SNAP benefits, it’s because Trump wanted them to.

HUNT: The president is talking about a third term. How seriously do you take that?

GALLEGO: I don't take it seriously because he will be in violation of the Constitution and he should be arrested if he attempts to do that

Newsom: The New Testament and Old Testament have one dominant thing in common—Matthew, Isaiah, Luke, Proverbs, go down the list—it’s about food, about serving those who are hungry. It’s not a suggestion; it’s core and essential to what it means to align with God’s will.

ICE is struggling to hire officers — even after lowering its standards. DHS is spending millions of dollars on an aggressive television ad campaign targeting local police officers — but it's not getting nearly enough applicants.

It looks like most Americans simply don’t want to be ICE thugs.

Eric is a Missouri congressman.

He is quite literally dependent on the federal government for his paycheck, his housing, and his free healthcare. He’s a tax recipient.

🤔 “load the jails full of them”

Ex-TN Highway Patrol troopers say they were pressured to arrest people for DUI’s to get higher pay, likely leading to sober drivers being arrested — “This is corruption. We’re ruining people’s lives.”
