Retired Navy, retired Correction Officer, retired VA. Progressive resister. Proudly ANTIFA! I retired to my forever home, ageing gracefully in the beautiful north woods of Minnesota. If God ever retires, I'm pretty sure this is where he'll come.

The McGintys, who own the McMinnville Grocery Outlet, tried to offer 10% discount to all SNAP recipients. But when the Regime told them no, they came up with a go-around:

Extending the offer to ALL customers.
Feds told Oregon grocers they couldn’t offer 10% off to SNAP recipients, so they got creative
The honor system is in place at three Oregon stores, now offering discounts to all who need it.

Call the United States Capitol switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and they will connect you with your senator's office.

If you're represented by one of the squishier centrists, be sure to make a call. Now.
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

Inflation is on the rise — particularly at the grocery store.

One big reason why?

Minimal competition opens the door to maximal price-gouging — and the opportunity to pull shady tricks like this. https://youtu.be/ad5GfgrPkYo?si=iDRiVN9_TsjGsD9k
Is Your Grocery Store Ripping You Off?

It does, and we are a blue state. We are always at the bottom of all rankings because were are a large state, size wise with a small population, and few major employers.

I came here to say the same. We have a Democratic Governor, both Senators are Democrats, and all three Representatives are Democrats. Harris won New Mexico.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

So at the beginning of Nov Congress would have been paid, unless they specifically had their pay check held.

I would argue they should donate it because they haven’t worked.

Maybe a good question for reporters to catalog?

Newsom: "Think about the state of mind of the VP. How do you square the circle when you go to a prayer breakfast? Old testament, new testament. What's the fundamental thing that connects John to Matthew to Proverbs? It's this notion of hunger, feeding the poor. It's central to advancing God's will."

This is obscene!!!

Trump throws another extravagant party at Mar-a-Lago while thousands, including government workers, line up at food banks during the shutdown— while he’s still fighting to block SNAP funding while kids go hungry.

Literally a tale of two Americas.
