Federal judge orders Trump administration to pay SNAP benefits out of contingency fund The ruling came one day before funding for SNAP, more commonly known as food stamps, was set to lapse.

NEW: A federal judge orders the government to continue SNAP benefits during the shutdown, while another judge calls the move to cut them "unlawful."

REV. BLACK (who was shot in the head with a pepper ball): “If this is what they’re doing to pastors, journalists, teachers, mothers, and the elderly gathered to sing and pray outside ICE facilities… what might they be doing to our neighbors who are behind those walls?”

FACTS about SNAP:

-35% to white people (largest share)
-90% to people born in 🇺🇸
-86% to households with kids
-70% work full time but aren’t paid a living wage (aka corporate welfare)

I know the Mount Rushmore of dweebs, incompetence, and evil is big but you couldn’t squeeze Vought’s ugly mug in?!?

Haha.

BREAKING: 20 Jeffrey Epstein victims are urging Mike Johnson to immediately swear-in Adelita Grijalva.

STOP IGNORING THE EPSTEIN VICTIMS!

A retired police officer in Tennessee was arrested and put in jail after sharing a Facebook post about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

After more than five weeks since the incident, he’s planning to sue, his attorney told The Post.

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

Imagine that.

Cool we can fund SNAP, pay air traffic controllers, ACA subsidies, all kinds of stuff. Right when we really need it. When do we get the cash?

I partially wonder if this is a shortsighted way Dip Turd in Chief is trying to bring the universities to their knees. ONR is the major grant issuing agency in DoD, administers all/most DoD awards to universities and no -profits; as well as negotiates indirect costs for several for the Govt

🚨Interview just before he met with the judge about excessive force. Now we know why she wants daily updates. 👀

DHS says our new piece is "dishonest, slanted, and fundamentally inaccurate" but won't say why. Here's the story where we show with evidence that DHS spliced together clips spanning years and multiple locations to create its own reality. Gift link wapo.st/4nuDGwf

Farmville ICE detainees say they are being served food with worms Immigrant detainees at an ICE holding center in Farmville are reporting that the meals they are being served have had worms.

Virginia - this is happening in our state. Where is Miyares? Why isn't he doing something about this? Why should anyone be subject to these conditions?

The Senate voted 50–46 tonight to block Trump’s tariffs on Canada, and yesterday it voted to block his tariffs on Brazil. Now we need the house to vote. Where’s the House? Is Johnson still guarding the Epstein files?

WOW! The Washington Post obtained the rest of the body cam footage showing that the drunk-driving ICE agent promised to check if the arresting officer's partner was Haitian. "I’m going to run some checks when I get back." He added that he would have him deported if "not legit."

This indictment of @katmabu.bsky.social and five other protesters is the most ridiculous thing I’ve read (this week), and I imagine it will be laughed out of (lower) court. They’re being charged with the conspiracy of slowing down an ICE vehicle. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

How Dangerous Is It Really to Work for ICE?
A Mother Jones review shows that there is no evidence that ICE agents face severe and widespread danger compared with other law enforcement agencies that they need military personnel to come to their aid

Y I K E S.

For obvious reasons, this is a TERRIBLE idea. Facial recognition has high false positive rates for immigrants in particular!

The federal government keeps labeling everyone they go after as cartel members — and it keeps being proven false. These are the same people we’re supposed to trust when they execute people at sea under that very justification?

That’s what open book training gets you 🙄😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

The gun pointed at the protesters is at a ridiculous range - rubber bullets are bullets. The gas is to be used for crowd control… not to point and spray at seated people attempting to recover from being attacked. These people, ICE, are criminals. No honor, no integrity.

In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

WASH POST: “A federal agent shot at an unarmed Black man during a traffic stop… an officer told a judge he was instructed by a superior not to document the shooting — and all charges against the man were dropped.” 🤔https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/10/27/dc-traffic-stop-shooting-dispute/

So, Governors are receiving letters from Vought/ Miller, advising to NOT provide food bank assistance as of November 1st.
Beating and starving us with our own money!?

Toxic Wastewater From Oil Fields Keeps Pouring Out of the Ground. Oklahoma Regulators Failed to Stop It. Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, is spewing from old wells. Experts warn of a pollution crisis spreading underground and threatening Oklahoma’s drinking water.

NEW: Salt water laced with cancer-causing chemicals, a byproduct of oil and gas drilling, keeps shooting out of the ground in Oklahoma.

Experts say it means even more wastewater is spreading underground, poisoning the state’s water supply.

San Diego lawmakers once again refused entry to courthouse Detention centers cannot currently be visited by members of Congress, leaving the condition of those detained unknown by the general public.

Yesterday, ICE again denied our congressional oversight visit to the San Diego federal building to follow up on reports that ICE is detaining people there in inhumane conditions.

It doesn't matter how much ICE tries to stonewall us.

We're going to continue to show up and push for answers.
