SNAP benefit freeze will leave millions nationwide struggling to pay for food โ€“ including 472,711 people in Philadelphia Starting Nov. 1, 2025, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits will stop being distributed in Pennsylvania due to the federal government shutdown, which began Oct. 1.

The USDA has more than $5 billion in emergency funds available to cover SNAP benefits but is refusing to spend them during the government shutdown. It's the first time in the history of the program that the federal government has refused to spend those funds

If noon isn't when the sun is directly overhead, then the clocks are wrong. Quick moving the clocks for DST.

The Trump administration briefed Republicans about US military strikes on suspected drug boats without telling Democratic members about the briefing, according to a top Senate Democrat and a source with direct knowledge of the incident. https://cnn.it/4qxC1sj

IDK about you, but Iโ€™m pretty sure a US president who shares a video of himself as a KING literally shitting on his own citizens isnโ€™t fit for office.

If a third grader did this, they would be immediately referred to a mental health professional, and probably expelled.

I served in the Army for 12 years during the "Don't ask, Don't Tell" era. I was aware of many gay and lesbian soldiers that continued serving. Most had no issues at all and did their jobs with distinction. A few took advantage of the policy and got out early. I was sorry to see some of them go.

Goldman: The notion that Tom Homan does official consulting business by receiving $50,000 in cash in a Cava bag is preposterous.

And the fact that they closed that investigation while charging Jim Comey and Tish James with bogus charges at Trumpโ€™s direction is completely destroying the DOJ.

NBC just gutted the very teams that gave marginalized voices a seat at the tableโ€”then called it โ€œrestructuring.โ€

The cuts:

๐Ÿ“ŒNBCโ€ฏBLK (Black community coverage)

๐Ÿ“ŒNBCโ€ฏLatino (Latino community coverage)

๐Ÿ“ŒNBCโ€ฏAsianโ€ฏAmerica (Asian American community coverage)

๐Ÿ“ŒNBCโ€ฏOut (LGBTQ+ community coverage)

NBC white-washing the news like all the other major U.S. networks. I miss the days when journalists had spines.

If you are confident that a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, you stop it and board it. That way, you have evidence.

If you don't really care if a boat near Venezuela is carrying drugs, but you just want to kill people, you blow the boat up. That way, the irrelevant evidence is gone.

In case anyone forgot, we have not. Do you, SOTH, intend to never reopen the doors of the House Of Representatives? Is that an impeachable offense by you. Mike Johnson? I believe it falls under the clause of "high crimes and misdemeanors", look it up. Release the Epstein Files, today.

Conducting a live fire exercise over a civilian highway is fucking stupid.

It doesnโ€™t really matter if I-5 fell within the minimum acceptable risk threshold for the exercise. Those standards are designed for controlled environments, not civilian highways.
