I sure hope the payments do go out - the uncertainty is part of what makes this so cruel imo

Has Maine sent money to SNAP recipients? IIRC, the usual monthly payout date hasn’t happened yet for November. Can you source?

5-hour shift as an election clerk, also roughly 5 people offered it. My response: “I don’t need to see that. Your name & address pls?” I wondered if a RW element told Rs to show up with their ID (to “normalize” it?) I’m just so relieved this morning

Do we know if a crown has ever been awarded to other people receiving this honor? The article says he’s the first American to receive it

I was on the side - noticeable to me was how many young(er) people were there compared to usual Lincoln County turnouts. How many ppl couldn’t get in?

Still, this is a band aid for a much larger crisis.

SNAP supports 170,000 Mainers, and the Trump Administration’s refusal to fund it will push hunger to its highest level in nearly a decade.

I’ll say it again: THEY HAVE THE MONEY TO KEEP SNAP GOING. They’re just choosing not to. (2/3)
