Any food which has gotten to poor families the states must send agents to reclaim the food before it is eaten or face new federal penalties

Imagine that

i've talked about this before but it's interesting how bathroom bills in the mid 2010s were partially defeated by "it isn't happening" - that republicans were flailing at imaginary problems, so they created an entire media system to find people who say there were harmed by trans women

I saw this on CNN today. Bernie is very perceptive, sir.

After yesterday's election, I'm more certain than ever that too many Houstonians have tuned out. We've traded civic duty for social-media rants, and the sense of community that bonded us feels like a relic. Yet when disasters strike, when hurricanes rip through our communities and flood our homes, Houston rallies. People wade through floodwaters to rescue strangers, pets, neighbors and anyone in need. We come alive when tragedy hits home.

So why can't we summon the same urgency when the storm is political, not natural? In the historic 18th Congressional District, home to more than 825,000 residents, just 76,084 voted on Tuesday to choose a successor for U.S. Rep. Sylvester Turner, who died in March. At several near-empty polling sites, volunteers told me they were disappointed. "Too much at stake not to vote," one said. The race is now headed to a runoff between Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee and former Houston City Council Member Amanda Edwards, according to preliminary election results. Houstonians offered many reasons for sitting out Tuesday's election, as evidenced by a Houston Chronicle video on social media. One person said he lacked the information to vote and wasn't prepared. Another didn't know it was voting day, then another said he was too overwhelmed by the current state of the nation to cast a ballot.

Today's @houstonchronicle.com piece unironically lamenting Houston's low voter turnout & low voter information, brought to you by the exact people paywalling their voter guide when they could simply give Houstonians free access to basic info about what's on the ballot & when
