For those confused by state of play on SNAP right now: You're not alone
Yesterday, *before* SCOTUS paused order telling Trump admin to send out SNAP $$, a handful of states rushed to issue full SNAP benefits to at least part of their caseload.
This includes CA, OR, WA, MI, and WI—all blue states (🧵)

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”

The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Donald J. Trump @realDonald Trump + I am saddened to watch Elon Musk go completely "off the rails," essentially becoming a TRAIN WRECK over the past five weeks. He even wants to start a Third Political Party, despite the fact that they have never succeeded in the United States - The System seems not designed for them. The one thing Third Parties are good for is the creation of Complete and Total DISRUPTION & CHAOS, and we have enough of that with the Radical Left Democrats, who have lost their confidence and their minds! Republicans, on the other hand, are a smooth running "machine," that just passed the biggest Bill of its kind in the History of our Country. It is a Great Bill but, unfortunately for Elon, it eliminates the ridiculous Electric Vehicle (EV) Mandate, which would have forced everyone to buy an Electric Car in a short period of time. I have been strongly opposed to that from the very beginning. People are now allowed to buy whatever they want - Gasoline Powered, Hybrids (which are doing very well), or New Technologies as they come about - No more EV Mandate. I

as they come about - No more EV Mandate. I have campaigned on this for two years and, quite honestly, when Elon gave me his total and unquestioned Endorsement, I asked him whether or not he knew that I was going to terminate the EV Mandate - It was in every speech I made, and in every conversation I had. He said he had no problems with that - I was very surprised! Additionally, Elon asked that one of his close friends run NASA and, while I thought his friend was very good, I was surprised to learn that he was a blue blooded Democrat, who had never contributed to a Republican before. Elon probably was, also. I also thought it inappropriate that a very close friend of Elon, who was in the Space Business, run NASA, when NASA is such a big part of Elon's corporate life. My Number One charge is to protect the American Public! 53 ReTruths 128 Likes 7/6/25, 6:20 PM

My 76-year-old mother just informed me that she is going to her first "sex party" and doesn't know what to bring.

After some awkward questions, I said, "Gender reveal. You're going to a gender reveal."

Nayib Bukele v @nayibbukele • 23h Apparently, anything a criminal claims is accepted as truth by the mainstream media and the crumbling Western judiciary. But the man wasn't tortured, nor did he lose weight. In fact, photos show he gained weight while in detention.

Since there's "plenty of footage from different days," I'm sure you'd have no problem posting footage of what occurred in Cell 15 from 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. during the first week of Abrego's incarceration? That's the time frame alleged in the complaint. Thanks!

Spot on. It’s happening right now…this is how it starts.

Trump pollster warns Senate GOP against deeper Medicaid cuts Moderate House Republicans are also alarmed about the cuts.

Republicans seem keen to push this bill through before CBO (or anyone else) has ability to assess its politically unpopular effects, but that won’t stop those unpopular effects from happening www.politico.com/live-updates...

This is Bella. She's thinking about this morning when she could have eaten the pizza crust on the sidewalk but didn't. Was a good girl, but good for who? 13/10 (IG: buddy_bella_birdie)
