SNAP benefits feed essential needs while still leaving many hungry for more Journalist and author Adam Chandler explains what so much of the conversation about them gets wrong.

As SNAP hangs in the balance for nearly 42 million people, misinformation is rampant. Myths of laziness and fraud persist when we should be talking about too low wages for workers, income inequality, and our threadbare social safety net.

In this guest post, Adam Chandler sorts fact from fiction:

Mayor Mamdani. A photo of Zohran smiling. Zohran wins

26 billionaires spent over $22 million to beat Zohran Mamdani.

Why? Because regular people came together around an agenda that prioritized making life easier for more people. It beat big money.

That is how we win.

AOC: I have to tell you, in my traveling across the country, I am hearing and have been seeing consistent things from everyday people. And it is that they are terrified, they are frustrated, they are angry, and they are shocked by a president violating the values that we hold dear

Mamdani: "We can respond to oligarchy and authoritarianism with the strength it fears, not the appeasement it craves. After all, if anyone can show a nation betrayed by Donald Trump how to defeat him, it is the city that gave rise to him."

fan art drawing of Halandil Fang , a character in the upcoming campaign four of critical role , voiced by liam o'brien . he is (seemingly) a half orc , with medium yellow-toned green skin . he has short black hair , with streaks of silver-white intermittently throughout . his eyes are a piercing electric blue . in this picture , he sits within a candle lit tavern with his left elbow resting on the tavern bar counter , hand resting against his face . his other arm lays across the counter , relaxed . he looks into the camera , at the viewer with a smug , sultry stare and smirk . there is a glowing yellow border around the picture , reminiscent of kpop photocards .

ohhh green man take me by the hand ... lead me to aramán .... 💚

ICE will reportedly hire contractors to surveil social media platforms 24/7 to target people for deportations.

The information would then be funneled into an existing ICE database built by Palantir (founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel).

"The party of small government,” folks.

A government shutdown means Americans won’t get the services they depend on. Federal workers won’t get their paychecks. People’s livelihoods will be upended.

This is happening because Republicans wanted to pay for more tax cuts for the super rich by making devastating cuts to the social safety net.

“I think we're going to test ABC out on this. Let's see how we do. Last time I went after them, they gave me $16 Million Dollars. This one sounds even more lucrative.”

I don’t think he’s ever been quite this explicit about his extortion.

Whether you like or dislike what’s said, free speech is at the heart of our democracy.

Protecting it should be one of our core missions as a nation.

If there were ever a moment for the so-called “free speech warriors” to speak out, now would be the time.

The story is not what Kimmel said but what others won’t say now for fear of state retribution. Authoritarian countries thrive on self censorship.

If you can throw Andor quotes around like you're doing activism, you can write a letter and send it.

So it's dangerous for China to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

But it's okay for America's billionaires (and Trump allies) to have the ability to access our data and manipulate us via social media apps.

Do I have this right?

Let this be a warning: don't be LATE

More than 1 in 4 unemployed workers have been out of work for at least 6 months. Nearly a million people could be pushed into poverty by Trump’s tariffs.

Meanwhile, Trump and Republicans have gutted the social safety net.

He is creating the perfect storm of economic misery.

The death of late night is just authoritarianism. It's so predictable it's hack.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.
