Knee deep in the hoopla. Important things in my life: Jesus, family, friends, music and comics. In that order, though not always apparent.

There’s no morrally rationale explanation for this.
You are understanding it correctly! Through no fault of their own, despite being approved for SIJS, they may still be deported because Congress decided to link SIJS to visa availability, visas are so backlogged that that means a multi-year wait, and SIJS itself doesn't protect from deportation.
If I'm understanding this correctly, children who qualified for the special status, who have spent formative years here, and through no fault of their own experiencing administrative delays, can be deported while they wait for a green card?
The cruelty is immense.

The pendulum is swinging back to "the stock market is not the economy," from "the economy is doing great, just look at the stock market."

A lot of focus on the $500M, but I have to admit that I’m hung up on parents having wine at 11pm.

186,000 is not even a single percentage point (.44%) of all SNAP beneficiaries (42 million).
They throw these numbers around without any context to make it seem like these are huge issues. They are not.

Great leaders won't assign blame to others. Good leaders won't point blame downward. Bad leaders will point in any direction they think will work.
Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, faced blowback after defending Tucker Carlson's interview with a white nationalist. He later apologized and said he erred out of ignorance, because he did not keep up with the news and had simply read an aide’s script.

I know that there’s some hope for justice today, but do not lose sight of the fact that the President will do absolutely anything to preserve power and escape accountability.

There are a lot of voices out there. One I’m glad to have discovered over the past year is Wolfers.
"I have two roles that really matter to me in the world. One, I'm an economist and two, I'm a dad... And you can think some of the world's great problems are from the failings of some fathers and some of the world's great problems are from the failings of some econ 101 teachers."

This is true for all food banks. Their relationships allow your dollars to do significantly more.
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

The new conditions for compromise are more insulting than just keeping the House adjourned.
Jeffries: Democrats are going to offer an amendment to get that self dealing sick provision out… The notion that Republicans would give themselves the ability to rip millions of taxpayer dollars away so they can line their pockets, because these people were insurrectionist sympathizers is insanity.

So instead of using the aggregated power of our taxes to influence insurance costs, the plan is to give us back a fraction of paid taxes so that we can attempt to individually negotiate costs with what is arguably the most powerful industry in our economy.
Trump: "We want a healthcare system where we pay the money to the people instead of the insurance companies. We're gonna be working on that very hard over the next short period of time. Where the people get the money. We're talking about trillions and trillions of dollars."

I’m not a tea leaves guy, but my armchair read is that the shutdown isn’t ending soon, despite the attempt at compromise.
UPDATE: The administration's appeal to the high court over the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program comes despite new efforts to end the federal shutdown, which would render the issue moot.

Last week, voters rejected furthering this administration’s agenda in key political races, the Supreme Court appeared to cast serious doubt on the legality of tariff policy, and Trump blatantly displayed he does not wish to fund SNAP.
