Trump Administration Live Updates: Government Ordered to Pay Food Stamp Benefits During Shutdown

Do you think they're try to appeal? Then how could they keep blaming Democrats for taking food out of kids' mouths? Never mind, I'm sure he'll find a way. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/10...

Opinion | In Trump’s America, Are We Losing Our Democracy? (Gift Article) Donald Trump has wielded power as no previous president has.

Also, why feed him ideas? Please, stop asking him if he plans to run for a third term!

It figures billionaires would be obsessed with living on and on. The rest of us can’t afford it.

Sorry, I'm too busy laughing at the Hunnyz write-up. The name alone, Jesus H. Fuck. Now that you've got me thinking of apples I'm off to bake something fragrant from the aptly named golden delicious fellas from my backyard tree.

The Douthat piece was ridiculous. This is not about whether or not the White House needs a ballroom or what it looks like. It’s about Trump circumventing legal approvals and oversight to do whatever he wants.

If you’re a wine writer, you get to do this with wine pairings added!

There were thousands in my small town. I have never seen so many assembled for protest in my 20+ years here.

I’m giving this season one more episode to prove you are still willing to do hard-hitting investigative stories. If not, I’m out. Been watching my whole life.

I don't know how she says all this sh*t with a straight face. Bless her heart.

So the man who may well be responsible for ending democracy in the U.S. thinks he should get a coin with his face on it to commemorate 250 years of democracy in the U.S. Got it.

Saudi Arabia? I barely know her! Have Jokes - Will Travel... Sometimes

Free speech-loving U.S. comedians agreed to do a show for the Saudi Arabian government, which literally murdered and beheaded a journalist. And they signed a prenup agreeing not to make any jokes about the Saudi royals or religion. Because: money. wkamaubell.substack.com/p/saudi-arab...

Thanks… best news of the morning.

This episode makes me wary of the new season. Has 60 Minutes lost its investigative bite under the new regime?

Last time he said that it cost the U.S. wine industry to lose its top export market. They are still banning our products in most provinces.

How's about we ban men from owning guns?

What do California wineries do when flocks of hungry birds threaten to devour their precious crop at harvest time? They bring on the falcons, that's what. norcalpublicmedia.org/202509259919...

I think the point he's trying to make it that Chardonnay-sipping, liberal elites are against coal vs. other types of energy. (Because black lung is no longer fashionable?) For the record, the Trump winery in Virginia makes Chardonnay.

Jesus H, did someone breed this thing on purpose? “That barnacled sphere is definitely haunted. It has seen some shit. It may have Lyme disease. It might be an egg. Some foul beast will definitely emerge from that bungled scrotum and drag me back to its mother’s lair in the fens.’

Your take on horseradish? Word.

It’s been in my Libby queue for weeks, with 7 more to go! I may have to break down and buy it from Bookshop.org

A group of young teens can regularly be seen speeding down Petaluma’s main drag, popping wheelies on fat tire e-bikes. Why would their parents buy these mini motorcycles for them? Dangerous, for them and us.

"Fear is the tool of a tyrant...But I'm not afraid, and I hope you're not either."

This is all, sadly, true. But it also reveals that money is what they care about most, and they will “do the right thing” when people boycott.

It's harvest time California wine country, and the 2025 season brings new worries that ICE ramp-ups could impact vineyard workers. Here's my update for KQED's "The California Report." And yes, it does include a clip from the new season of "South Park." (Audio begins at 4:25) lnkd.in/g3G_UxAG

As a produce industry writer and sometime wine reviewer, I could not love this more.
