Imagine being the person, or persons, responsible for drafting this statement at USDA.
The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse.
I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

Moving to Minneapolis and being significantly closer to the border is purly coincidental. Totally.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
A handful of companies control the pharmaceutical industry.
The evidence of corporate concentration is everywhere.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than help millions of Americans afford health care. This article tells some of their stories, and is a good reminder of what’s at stake.
These people have found their health care at the center of a shutdown showdown
Small business owners, self-employed people and early retirees are among the 24 million Americans who could lose the tax credit

Every American should be alarmed when government power is used to pressure a private company to silence a comedian.
The First Amendment protects speech we may dislike or disagree with because without that protection no one’s voice is safe.

What we are witnessing is an outright abuse of power.
This administration is attacking critics and using fear as a weapon to silence anyone who would speak out. Media corporations — from television networks to newspapers — are capitulating to these threats.
