It is SO good to be home again! Before I left JMount Vernon rehab, they moved the MANY staples fro my head. That... HURT. They led me out in a procession with music and pom-poms and let me ring a bell, and gave me a sign signed by all the nurses. It was aq wonderful departure.

During his first term, President Trump appointed leaders to the government’s food and farm departments that had strong industry ties. This time, many top officials at the USDA, EPA, and FDA have connections to chemical, agribusiness, or fossil fuel interests.

Your help, through a donation or a share, could bring light in these dark times.

How are SNAP benefits, food banks impacted by a government shutdown?
As the government shutdown continues into its second day with no end in sight, agencies are turning to contingency plans for vital services like SNAP.

Typically in shutdowns, SNAP “borrows” from a future month to pay the. current month.’s benefits. I don’t know how long this. An continue butbenefits wont be cuy off right away. And the data will look really weird.

There’s a contingent fund that gets borrowed from. There’s maybe a month’s worth of benefits in it.

From a systems perspective, yes, Oct 2025 benefits will be issued. As for Nov 2025... we're going to have to hear from the Feds if the shutdown continues. I imagine most states will need to know by mid-Oct to do anything about Nov.

Goung to do my best to handle this fight ahead of me with aplomb
Japanese plum tree (Prunus salicina) has a reputation for producing stunning blooms and tasty fruit, and it's a cherished symbol of vitality and renewal in many cultures. Originating in China but popularized by Japan, the Japanese plum is now a global favorite to plant in orchards and gardens.
