The SNAP program "maintains a reserve, currently estimated to be about $5 billion, that can help cover emergencies and shortfalls."

The Trump administration is refusing to use those funds.

No words.

Trump: "They cheated on a commercial. Ronald Reagan loved tariffs and they said he didn't. And I guess it was AI or something. They cheated badly. Canada got caught cheating on a commercial. Can you believe it?"

it’s beyond comprehension that scenes like this have become routine in chicago.

masked soldiers are carelessly lobbing chemical weapons—that are banned from use during warfare—on random residential streets.

this is the third time feds have tear-gassed residents in chicago *this week!*

Video from witness here from the moment CBP gassed neighbors who had gathered outside after the kidnapping.

Agent rolls a canister at the crowd out of the window of their car as they reverse away from people with whistles and bikes.

I'm sure there are some unhinged randos going to bat for this guy screaming about AIPAC- there are always will be. And there are many more leftists telling those people to shut the fuck up. You have no point. Now kindly fuck off out of my mentions.

Sure but that's not making a legal argument that the 22nd Amendment doesn't apply. It's simply ignoring it altogether. Either SCOTUS constructs some other pretzel-logic reason why it doesn't disqualify him (very likely, just not with this "non-consecutive" stuff), or red states have to float SCOTUS.

SCOOP: A Trump official tells
@nypost
that the administration favors Paramount Skydance to buy Warner Bros. Discovery – and a number of rival bidders are likely to face stiff hurdles from US regulators in the blockbuster auction. “Who owns Warner Bros. Discovery is very important to the administration,” a senior Trump administration official told On The Money. “The Warner board needs to think very seriously not just on the price competition but which player in the suitor pool has been successful getting a deal done. And that points to the Ellisons.”

There's no provision in the text or subtext of the Amendment saying anything about the terms or any portion thereof being consecutive. It says two terms, period.
I mean they can try their luck given how nakedly partisan and shameless this SCOTUS is but there's no reading that supports it whatsoever

Look at your pinned comment, ffs. By your own logic you'd support this guy if he won the primary, and meanwhile you have lefties yelling at the guy you claim is still their standard bearer and you're claiming they're going to bat for this guy in droves, instead. Lost in the sauce.
